COUNTY EDUCATIONAL NOTES

(Co. Supt. Sterrett) Jasper county’s recently selected agricultural agent arrived last Monday morning and assumed the duties of the office. D. M. Mawhorter is a young man of about 30 years of age and is amply qualified to do the work of the office. He wishes every farmer in Jasper county would make his acquaintance at once so that he can begin administering to the farmers’ needs in this county. The teachers of Jasper county have responded to the request of the county superintendent that each teacher make a state license even though the teacher has maae a county license. The following list of state applicants will receive their state licenses within a few days. The licenses range from 36 months back to 12. A list of the successful applicants are: Mabel Worland, Daisy C. Knaur, Mildred Rush, Gladys Ogle, Frank H. Woerner, Grace M. Norris, Helen L. Lamson, Beatrice Tilton, Agnes Kahler, Kathryn Chamberlain, Rensselaer; Bernice Myers, Freda M. Ferguson, Gertrude Kanzleiter, Wheatfield; George Hammerton, Demotte; Elsie P. Benson, Mt. Ayr; Millie Hoover, Francesville; Gertrude Besse, Mamie C. Reed, Feme Rawlings, Opie Hafey, Cecile Culp, Remington; Elsie Zellers, A. C. Campbell, Fair Oaks; Ruth Murphy, Surrey; Amanda Steinke, Kniman; Bertha Hershman, Medaryville. This is the longest list of successes that it has been the fortune of the present incumbent in the office of county superintendent to enter on the records for Jasper county. The endorsement of the state department of the intellectual status of Jasper county teachers represents one angle of efficiency that should stimulate the pride in our teaching personnel. One remarkable fact worthy of consideration is that not one applicant from Jasper county for March failed. There were seven other applicants whose names do not

appear above who received conditions In one or two subjects which Will need be removed on April 24.
