COUNTY EDUCATIONAL NOTES.

The state has reported the following applicants successful on the May teachers’ examination: Ida J. Fleming, Jessie Williamson, Mary Louise Hartman, Lottie Porter, Eva Lilly, Myrtle Irene Howard, Thelma Noland. Most of the experienced teachers of Jasper county hold state licenses. All teachers in the county are urged to hold a state license. It is a sign of progressiveness that should appeal to every teacher in Jasper county. Several teachers holding exemptions have taken advantage of the teachers’ examinations and are taking them for the good they find there. There is a large number of inexperienced teachers now attending school who have been attracted to the profession on account of the wage offered beginners. The list is as follows: Katherine Chamberlain, Frances Folger, Edith Fenwick, Goldie Kessenger, Daisy Knaur, Mabel Kemper, Bernice Myers, Ruth Murphy, Gladys Ogle, Doris Powers, Iva Poole, Jeannie Sage, Jessie Zellars, Elsie Zellars, Frances Hibbs, Leta M. Hershman, Helen Kessenger, Ada Lambert, Irene Price, Lilly Price, Bertha Stalbaum, Marie Weging, Helen Cain, Opal Capes, Sophia Hudson, Esther Kruse, Lera Standish, and Edna Reed. It will be noted from the list that no men beginners are among the list. Frank Babcock took the examination twice and was on his way towards license when he decided to leave the job to the women. It will soon be necessary to offer a premium to get men to take up school work. This is still a part of the war effects. David Horsewood writes from Harrison, Montana, that he has finished his freshman year there with excellent grades. He was the county winner last year for high eighth grade diploma average. He seems to like the schools in the west. Superintendent Sterrett is spending the week in Indianapolis, where the county superintendents of the state hold their regular annual meeting. While there he will attend the hearings from Jasper county before the state tax board set for Saturday at 10 o’clock.
