COUNTRY SCHOOLS
CLOSE GOOD YEAR
Supt. TheO Jensen States That
Past Year Has Been Ex-
cellent in Redwood Co.

The rural schools of Redwood Coun-
ty have all closed for summer vaca-
tion. 36 schools, all nine month,
closed last Friday and the week be-
fore while the other rs rural schools
of the county which are eight month
schools closed the last week of April
and the first week in May.
Superintendent Theo Jensen has
been active since early spring in max
ing her annual visits to the several
rural districts of the county, as re-
quired by law. This is no small task
and keeps the genial superintendent
on the road most of the time, during
fair weather. Each rural district is
visited at least twice during the
school year and some of them more
times.
There is no scarcity of teachers at
the present time, and Miss Jensen
anticipates that early in the fall ev-
cry district in the county will be sup
piled with first-class instructor for
the fall term.
During the past several years the
teaching force in Redwood County is
gradually become more efficient and
proficient. There are no teachers in
the county, who do not hold first-class
certificates. This speaks well for the
status of the rural districts.
The past year has been an excel
lent school year throughout Redwood
County. In fact, each year sees i'm
provement in the county's rural
schools. The year is gradually being
heightened in the rural districts and g
better grade of teachers is being en-
ployed. This is reflected in the work
of the scholars. Years ago, when but
a few months of school was held each
year, conditions were far different
than they are now. The value of a
school year of eight or nine months
is being brought home to the direct.
ors of the rural districts and the ten.
dency is to lengthen the school year
rather than to hold it down to the
minimum required by law.
Nineteen graduates of normal
training departments will be prepar-
