William DeArmond who was teaching at the Grube school in Wheatfield township was transferred to the Tefft schools and the place made vacant by Mr. DeArmond was filled by a Mr. Reeves, of Converse, Indiana. r " Whenever a school secures the unanimous consent of patrons represented by children, the consent of the trustee, County Superintendent and wagon haulers, it may then have school on Saturdays except the Saturdays set aside for township institute and teachers examinations. The County Superintendent gladly recommends that each teacher proceed at once to secure the consent of the patrons, trustees, etc., so as to release the older boys for farm work earlier in the spring. In every case his consent will be given in advance. The County Council of Defense for Jasper County commended the action taken by the school authorities at Remington since the holidays.
