SCHOOL NEWS
A. q. GUSTAFSON
County Superintendent

A very nice letter has arrived from
Miss Janet Kramer, teacher in Dis
trict No. 90, who has now accepted
q position in the multigraph office
Of the Iowa State Teachers college.
Her training in journalism and her
natural artistic talent helped her to
secure this very fine position. We
wish her the best of success.
Mr.. and Mrs. Donald Ehmke have
announced the arrival of a daughter.
Mr.. Ehmke is principal of the Mark
Vile school. Congratulations Mark
willie! You now have another good
helper.
Changes I'm Teaching Stats.
Some very recent changes have been
reported as follows: Miss Lola Casa
don't has decided not to remain an
other year in her home school at
Nickerson, District No. Sc. Miss C.
Evelyn Larson, who has been teaching
in District No. 81 during the past six
or seven years, will take Miss Casa
dont's place at Nickerson. Miss Signe
Ecklund of Bruno, has been elected
at District No. 81. Miss Genevieve
Lennox has accepted the primary po-
sition at Markville. Miss Berleda
Christopher has been elected to teach
school in District No. lib in Winde-
mere township.
All teachers mentioned above have
two or more years of professional
training and the schools mentioned
this year. Miss Myrtle Overland of
District No. lib, has been given a
years leave of absence to complete
certain courses at the Duluth Teach
ers college.
Miss Dorothy Berg, District No. 1913,
has recently resigned to accept a po-
sition in a two-room school in Chisago
county. 1t seems that Chisago county
has taken a number of our best teach
ers. Harold Palm, District No. 81,
has decided to attend Teachers col
lege next year. Benz. Kryzer, District
No. 80, asked for a release from his
contract a short time ago, so he also
will attend college this coming year.
1t seems that most Pine county
rural schools will open at the usual
time-on Labor day or the day fol-
lowing. All rural teachers will please
meet at the county superintendent
office, or court room, on Friday after
noon at one o'clock before the OPEN
ing of school so as to receive the
usual supplies, instructions, county
fair materials, etc. We expect most
rural teachers will be able to meet for
this important purpose on Friday aft
ernoon, Sept. 4. Please do not come
on Friday, Sept. II.
Our county rural school exhibits
were very carefully judged by Miss
Bunde, Mrs. E Edin and w. H. Trip
lett. This work was done the day
before the exhibits were put up for
display. Because of lack of room,
only the prize winning articles in
most cases were exhibited. Indica-
tions are that most teachers and
pupils are now following quite closely
the state fair rules in preparing ex-
hibits. Most teachers also correlate
the making of maps, booklets, etc.,
with the regular school work during
the year. We are planning to take
the best material to the state fair
again this year. Last year our pupils
captured 20 state fair prizes. Watch
for list of 1886 county fair winners
next week.
This past year many deserving and
depressed districts failed to take
much advantage of our new supple
mental aid law because some lacked
less than a mill or two of levy in
having the required levy, and others
failed to use very much of the money
allotted or offered to them by the state.
The state offers certain amounts un-
der the Law provided the district is
willing to use it to build up equip
ment. etc. AS Inspector Sande says:
1T appears that some schools &C
tually refuse the money offered to
them"
Suggestions.
A few other economical suggestions
worth while mentioning again to all
concerned are:
Buy your text books direct from
the publishers and thus save about
20 per cent or better.
Worn out books should not be
burned. 1t is better to use as many
as possible in exchange for new ones
