Wiseman, Fair Oaks; Mabel'Worland, Rensselaer; Gladys McGlynn, Remington; Mary Miles, Rensselaer; Day Jordan, Gifford; Mary Gay Makeever, Fair Oaks. Two licenses from the state department were mailed last Thursday to Miss Martha Parker of Remington. The school records show that there is by far a greater percentage of Jasper county teachers either in school already or planning to go June 7 and June 14. This promises as good a school year as the one that has just closed. The teachers’ wages in Jasper county seem to be getting results. No growing teacher can afford to allow herself to relinquish her efficiency if she can possibly scrape a few dollars together to attend school during the summer. The enhanced efficiency should influence the trustees to make corresponding Increases in wages. Miss Edna Reed has been on the sick list while attending normal at Muncie. Her father, Charles Reed, has returned from there recently and reports that his is mending rapidly. Miss Reed taught the Independence school in Barkley township last winter. Miss Mildred Rush has returned from Mrs. Blakers’ school at Indianapolis after taking a six weeks course. All schools in the county have closed for the summer vacation. -Trustee Postill of Marion is planning to hold dedication exercises and a joint commencement at the newly constructed school building north of town some time in June. The Milroy-Hanging Grove joint commencement will be held at the Milroy church in Milroy township on Saturday night, June 19. There will be a class of eleven graduate upon that occasion.- Other commencement dates will be set next Monday, June 6, at the regular meeting of the county board of education. '
