COUNTY EDUCATIONAL NOTES.

State Superintendent L. N. Hines requested success grades froan (the following applicants on the July teachers’ examination: tJra Gwin, Oka Pancoast, Minnie Hemphill, Jane Parkison, Majbel Worland, Tillie Malchow, Edith Thompson, Betty Royster, Marguerite Jones and Nine Washburn. A call for a success grade does not always mean that the applicant has been successful. But there ape very few cases where the applicant fails after a call has been made for the success grade. The township trustees are getting their, -school bouses scrubbed and cleaned for school to open September 8. An extraordinary effort is being made to start every school in Jasper county on Monday, September 8. Teachers are either settling down to take thedr school® or resigning to accept others. This is the month that this occurs most frequently. Mabel McAhren, who was slated to teach for Grant Davisson, of Barkley, resigned last. Saturday to take a school nearer home (Indianapolis). We have had no resignations of home teachers, but alwaiya- tefbdhers-who use Jasper county as the last straw and if all others annk then they fulfill their obligations. This is one of the strongest reasons why Jasper county should use its home teachers. It is equally true that home teachers should make themselves equally efficient by attending good normal schools and keeping abreast with the times. Otherwise they should not be used. The DeMbtte school addition is well under ’headway. It is possible that the schools in Keener township will convene a week or two ‘later than others on account of thds. The following corporations have (their reports on file, in the office of the county superintendent: Barkley, Carpenter, Gillam, Jordan, Kankakee, ‘Marion, Newton, Union, Walker, Wheatfield, Remington town and Wheatfield town. The Others will likely be in so that the report can be made to the state department 'by the thirteenth of this month.
