The new course of study for the f— Elementary Schools of Nebraska by Supt. J. M. Matzen has been mailed out to each teacher »in the eounty. Should any teacher fail to receive a copy, she can secure one by writing this office. We have a plentiful supply of lists of eighth grade questions from former examinations. These will be available to eighth grade teachers who wish to use them for review purposes. November 20th will be the date of the next teachers’ examination. Ex amination in all county certificate sub jects also life certificate subjects will be given at that time. The fifty-fourth annual session of the Nebraska State Teachers’ Associa tion was held at Omaha the 3, 4 and 5 of this month. Holt County was well represented there, but the attend ance would have been much larger es pecially if the announcements of the meeting had reached me in time to be mailed to my rural teachers. Since October 7th the following schools have been visited: District No. 156, No. 228, No. 163, No. 137, No. 108, No. 227, No. 23, No. 138, No. 97, No. 92, No. 80, No. 192, No. 76, No. 36, No. 88, No. 110, No. 39, No. 50, No. 128, No. 55, No. 157, No. 20, No. 241, No. 47 and No. 125, making a total of 42 schools visited since September 6th. A much larger enrollment than in former years was noted in most of the schools. Also the attendance waS especially good. Following the visit to each school a report which consisted of suggestions in regard to text books, needful equipment, etc., was sent to each director, hoping to secure co operation in the work of improving our schools. The State Department is planning a survey of the rural schools regard ing standardization. Any school board in the rural schools wishing to make theirs a standard school should write me for information, so they can be pre pared to meet the requirements for next year. A number of schools in the county may become standardized by adding just a little more equip ment. Miss De Maris Stout, teacher of District No. 125, had a box social and Halloween program at her school October 29th. The proceeds of same was $51.00 which is to be applied on the purchase of a phonograph for use in her school. P>U}SIQ ui UOAlli shay (uioos xoq V No. 72 by Carrie Bachman, teacher, October 29th.
