COUNTY EDUCATIONAL NOTES

(By Co. Supt Sterrett) The township trustees are, filling their schools rapidly. At present there are very few trustees needing. teachers. Wherever teachers are j needed it is experienced teachers. 1 There seems to be ample beginning teachers who are not yet employed. The regular annual teachers’ institute will be held in the high school auditorium from Aug. 30 until Sept. 30. Prof. Edwin Barlow Evans will instruct the teachers along literary lines. Mr. Evans was here last year and is well known to the teachers of Jasper county. President W. H. Elson will also instruct the teachers next week. He is one of the most interesting speakers on the institute platform. The music for the week will be conducted by Miss Hazel B. Gray of Remington, who is the music instructor employed in the Rensselaer oity schools this year. There will be a number of special numbers the coming week. Trustees Postill, Rush and Duggleby will give talks. L. H. Hamilton, excounty superintendent and president of the Rensselaer city school board, will also talk to the teachers one day. State Supt. L. N. Hines will appear on the program during the latter part of the week. The publicspirited citizens of Rensselaer and Jasper county are cordially welcomed to attend the institute. Trustees Fairchild, Duggleby and Harrington each have high school faculties to fill in addition to their regular elementary schools. Each of these trustees have completed thelir faculties with very promising high school teachers. The faculty at Tefft under Mr. Duggleby consists of Addie Harris, principal, with Celie Stiefel and a Miss Clausen. At Demotte under Mr. Fairchild is Miss Margaret Marshall, principal, with Rev. Templin, Lottie Porter and George Hammerton as assistants. Mr. Harrington has Mr. Campbell, principal, Eleanor Murphy, Hazel C. Jones and a lady from Minnesota who will have charge of the domestic science. This completes the faculties of all these high schools. Wheatfield and Rensselaer are needing a few teachers to fill their faculties.
