DISCl'SSIXO ' SCHOOL MATTERS.
County Superintendent ! ! ' Convention
Hold * nn Interesting Bemlon.
A convention of the county superintendents
of southwestern Iowa was begun here yes
terday and will last two days. It Is at
tended by about thirty superintendents and
other people interested in educational work.
The convention Is for the discussion of mat.
ters relating to public school affaire , with
cspoclal reference to the application of the
new school laws that went Into force with
the adoption of the new coJe. State Su
perintendent R. C. Barrett Is attending the
meetings and leading the legal part of the
discussion. Among the questions under dis
cussion yesterday was the institute fund.
Under the new law this fund Is created by
the fees collected for teachers' certificates
and $50 allowed by the state. From this
fund must be paid all of the expenses of
the county Institutes and one of the objects
of the dlscuralon yesterday was to determine
the wisest methods of expending the fund.
Considerable attention was given to the new
laws , especially the sections relating to the
powers of the directors of sub-districts. Un
der the law each township or district Is di
vided into nine sub-districts , with a sub-
director for each district. Under the old
law each of the directors had the power
to employ the teacher who waa to be en
gaged for his sub-district , but now the era.
ployment of teachers requires the action of
the full township board.
The convention held no session yesterday
afterncon , but adjourned for the purpose of
permitting the delegates to visit the exposi
tion grounds. An evening session was held.
Among the most prominent school men pres
ent are : Superintendent Marsh of Mills
county , J. W. Wllkenson of Rlnggold. J. J.
