to fill the vacancy on county board
of education caused by the resigna-
tion of Armstead Dodson. Mr.. Chap
pell is being congratulated and well
deserves the enconium of his friends
as he has been one of the foremost
men in advocacy Of consolidated
schools.
He was one of the first to. take a
firm stand for better rural schools
and Lysian school district built its
$25, 900 school building when he was
president of the local board Of trus-
tees for the district. Judge Little
john therefore selected a man who
has given largely Of his means and
work to the great cause of educa-
ton. Lysian district also wins the

der the Barrett-Rodgers law.

of sickness, failed ho send in their
examination papers. The superin-
tendent win get these as soon as
the examinations are held. In this
way a more uniform system of grad
ing pupils can be promoted. 1t seems
that several of the schools have
promoted pupils faster than their ex-
animation papers would authorize or
indicate. ~
The board is very anxious to put

graded ones in the state. Every eff
fort is now urged to procure only
such teachers and promote that kind
Of a spirit that will give a great
uplift to the educational interest of

as to test uniformity of grading pu-
