Educational Notes.
By the County Sudorlntendent.
Superintendent C. A. Gregory of
Crete, who was recently appointed in
structor of normal training in high
schools, visited the Atkinson and
O’Neill high schools also St. Mary’s
Academy the last week in January.
Mr. Gregory proved a great help and
inspiration to both teachers and
students.
Miss Margaret Foster of Lincoln
was recently elected to eighth grade
in Atkinson to till the vacancy caused
by the resignation of Mary V. Long.
Miss Almeda Cockerill, who has
acted as principal of the Atkinson
schools the past two years, has resign
ed and will accept a lucrative position
near her home in Ohio.
H. B. Burch, principal of the Page
schools, visited at the county seat
Saturday, February 5.
Plans are being made for a junior
normal school to be held in O’Neill
commencing June (1, and lasting eight
weeks. It is probable that the first
week will be institute week.
The school library law, sections 11
and 13, ,subdivision 13, requires that
the district set apart from its funds
tile sum of 10 cents for each pupil
enumerated in the district. Therefore
the funds raised by the teacher from
entertainments would not relieve the
district from having to set aside this
fund.
Seventy-three districts have made
reports on school libraries and are
eligible to draw their state apportion
ment which is in the hands of the
county treasurer ready for distri
bution.
All ‘eighth grade teachers should
note that the Elements of Agriculture
should be taught in connection with
geography, and civil government with
history.
The North Nebraska Teacher’s as
sociation will be held at Norfolk,
March 30, 31 and April 1, 1010. Every
