COUNTY EDUCATIONAL NOTES

Miss Marie Madlung took the Canada school in Walker township, taught it one week and then resigned. Trustee Salrin is—attempting to have the children transported to Kniman. It has not developed as to the cause of the resignation, but it placed the township trustee *to an extraordinary 'sacrifice in wheat sowing time to clear the situation. Patrons should not send their children to school this year unless j they become, six before the Christmas holidays. If a child comes., six I after the holidays he should not at|tend school. It is decidedly detri--1 mental to the child should any .teacher be* so kind as to permit it I to come to school too young. It j would be all right if the teachler was equipped to do kindergarten work, but first grade [work is a full year or more in ,i advance of kindergarten work. j October 12 should be observed as Liberty Day as well as Discovery Day this year. Teachers should iplan a program that would stimulate the purchasing of Bonds in each community. A general survey for war purposes will Ibe made soon through the schools ko furnish the government with ' data on the number of hogs and I cattle in the county.
