becomo so ncglactful of their property
that the weeds grew so high that one

coming tired of brushing big woods
aside tho women went armed with
sickles, scythes and other Implements
and proceeded to demolish the "nusl
ances" In true feminine style. The

To the Teachers ? Webster County.
The regular teacher's monthly ex
amination will bo held ut Rod Cloud
the third Friday and Saturday follow
ing of each month.
Registration hours 8 to 10 a. in. nnd
1 to 2 p. m.
Sinco all schools are closed no de
parture will ho made from tho regular
examination program.
I am pleased to note that teachers
are beginning early to have their certi
ficates rencwod. The wide awake
energetic teacher will not wait until
the latter part of the summer before
(nullifying. School-boards dislike em
ploying toachers who aro not sure of
their scholarship.
It is hoped that evory teacher will
endeavor to make her certificate bettor
this year than last. I hope that the
number of first grado and "With
Credit" and "With Honor" second
grado certificates will increase. Ily
doing so, their grades will become
permanent and wo can devote our
whole time and energyjto our school
work rather than preparing for ex
amination your lifter year.
Let us have our County clear from
emorgeuoy certificates, certificates
issued with blank grades, or even
third grades.
MaiieIj Day,
County Superintendent.
