A rural eudcational conference will be held at Tefft Wednesday, January 21st Another rural educational conference will be held in Newton township in the near future. T' The chief problem confronting Newton township is one concerning the construction of school houses. It is a question that the tax payers will decide whether an equivalent sum of money should be spent in constructing six one roome dschool houses or on one or two centralized schools. Every angle of enlightenment is imparted by a group of speakers who volunteer their efforts for the sake of the boys and girls of the rural districts. It is expected that State Supt. L. N. Hines will address, the Newton township meeting when it is held. Every wideawake man, and woman, who is interested in their own and their neighbor’s children should attend this meeting to mcertain the most wise thing to do and then proceed to act upon an unbiased conviction. If the person is in favor of one room schools then he should put up a consistent fight to realize upon his convictions. If he feels that centralization yields the most school efficiency then he should fight with equal valor to realize upon that set of convictions. 1 \ The next regular teacher’s examination will be held at the auditorium of the high school building on Saturday, January 81. There will be no examinations in February. All teachers in Jasper county- teaching on permits are required to take the coming January examination. Teachers of experience should take state examination in January and county later.
