COUNTY EDUCATIONAL NOTES.

The county institute will be held this year from September 2 to 6. Dr. Stanley Krebs, Mrs. Frances Kelsey and Lena J. Todd are the corps of instructors. Trustee day will be on Monday, Sept. 2. All schools in the county will begin on Monday, Sept. 9, or the Monday following institute. It has been a difficult year for the trustees and school boards to obtain proper high school teachers.. The removal of the legal restrictions during the war was a great relief, without which it would mean discontinuing a number of the high schools or reduce their standards to that of ordinary non-commissioned schools. The situation is not cured yet but it is looking much better than for a long time. The following applicants were ported from the state for success grades on the last teachers’ examination: Irene_ Howard, Remington; Bert Lewellen, DeMotte; R. A. Conn, Brook; Marie A. Neville, Rensselaer; flora Feldmann, DeMotte; Jennie Eib, Rensselaer; Lottie Porter, Remington; Gladys McGlynn, Remington; Thelma Noland, McCoysburg; Lena Williamson, Remington. A. C. Campbell has returned from Hammond to Newland to arrange for moving to Fair Oaks, where he has been selected as principal of the schools.
