visions conceived for general better
ment.

ing some increases.

Olaf Aasheim, county superintend
ent of schools, states that the state
department Of public instruction has
decided not to conduct the regular
mid-year examinations for students
who wish to take the examinations
In seventh and eighth grade sub
jects.
In a letter 10 Mr.. Aasheim, Miss
Ireland said, II ann at a loss to know
why students in Sheridan county
should be taking the seventh and
eighth grade examinations at this
time. There is no way by which an
eighth grade student can take his
examinations piecemeal. Examina.
tons were given last August and all
eighth grade students whoj were
ready to pass the examination had
an opportunity to do so. If they did
not pass the examinations i1 August
then it will be necessary fbr them
to wait until the May examinations"
