PINE COUNTY RURAL
SCHOOL NEWS
A. e. GUSTAFSON
County Superintendent

State examinations will be held one
week later next spring so the state
department advises schools to open
one week later this fall, September
IA. However, many rural schools ex-
pect to open at the usual time, Sep
TENDER and have an extra week OF
vacation during the bad, cold wealth
er. 1t is best to aim to close school
next spring on Friday before state
examinations, June 4. or on Friday
of examination week, June II.
The library book mending project
did not get coed start until after
June 1, because we could not get
workers assigned. The pay is too
small for the workers to travel from
school to school, so the books are
being taken to central points where
these workers live. Less than 10 per
cent of the schools have been taken
care of so far. The project will run
for many months yet, and we may also
get an extension, if needed. This is
a federal project sponsored by the
by the county superintendent.
Due to lack of room at the court
house, most of the rural school county
fair materials were held by the teach
ers. Please bring them or send them
to Pine City so that they will arrive
here on or before August Is. We will
take care of them here. They will
be judged before the county fair
opens. An effort will also be made
to take another exhibit to the state
fair.
We hope later to have a complete
list of our teachers who attended
school this summer. Most of them
have now returned. Teachers will
please help us to complete this list
by dropping us a card. Thanks.

The Republicans must make their

these questions and problems will be
made known for them. II their known
position means reputation at the

they can be consoled with the thought
that they at least have openly and
truly championed the cause of reac-

tongue slipped when the phrase Co

an Introductory speech for Senator Ell
