Rensselaer Republican, Volume 25, Number 36, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 4 May 1893 — County Board of Education. [ARTICLE]

County Board of Education.

The County Board of Education met Monday t as the law requires. All the members were present except the representative of the Remington School Board. The most important action taken was directing the County Superintendent to prepare a manual for the use of the schools of the county. The manual prepared by a state committee, last year, has not been found to answer all the needs of the schools, and the county manual will be, in a measure, supplementary, to the state manual.

The question of a uniform time of opening the county schools of the county, at the beginning of the school year, was discussed, but the plan was decided impractical, because some townships have so much longer terms of school than others. The enumerations of children of chool ages was reported.
