This division of tho school year seems to commend Itself to nil whero it has been tried. All schools whero there are three months In tho spring term should begin not later than March 24. This will make such schools closo June .14. ' The, Normal Instltuto for nil teachers of this county will begin Juno 17.

It Is gratifying to notlco what n demand there Is for good, first grndo teachers. When contracting with teachers It Is your duty to examine, the teacher's certificate.
