COUNTY EDUCATIONAL NOTES.

The following applicants for teachers’ license wrote on the April teachers’ examination: Wilson Clark, Wheatfield; Fairy Deardurff, Morocco; Mamie C. Reed, Remington; Margaret Delahantay, DeMotte"; Grace Knapp, De Motte; Charles M. Blue, Rensselaer; Gay Makeever, Fair Oaks; Jessie White, Wheatfield; Florence Frame, DeMotte; Day Jordan, Gifford; Jessie Raredin, Parr; Mabel Kemper, Wheatfield; Dorothy Boyle, Wheatfield; Cecile Jordan, Rensselaer; Vera Woods, Rensselaer; Mary Miles, Rensselaer; Clarence Kelly, Remington; Alta Lucas, Remington; Martha Parker, Remington; Alpha E. Kerlin, Wolcott; Helen Cain, Remington; Nellie Johnston, Remington; Marie Weging, Rensselaer; Hellen Kessenger, Rensselaer; Alice Myers, Wheatfield. Of the entire number there was but one applicant for high school license and one for a primary license. The others were applicants for the common ’ school licenses. Eighteen of the twenty-five sent their manuscripts to the state department for grading. The April examination was about one-third the size of the March examination. Practically all of the teachers are arranging to continue their professional training and many have already enrolled in normal schools and universities. The general index of school efficiency for Jasper county is very promising at this time. It is true that there will likely be a shortage next fall but very few teachers in Jasper county are drifting into a state of lethargy expecting to gain a school on account of this. The lesser part of this few are compelled to remain out of school on account of sickness. It is a matter some cannot afford but are compelled to remain at home on account of finances. Commencements will be held at Tefft next Wednesday, at Wheatfield next Thursday and . Friday night. — The town—bolds —its- commencement on Thursday and the township on Friday night. Commissions were issued to the Tefft and Wheatfield high schools last week.
