Qregory. i The fine weather through March in duced many districts in the county to begin school earlier than usual. Lila Sackett has charge of school in Antloch district and will doubtless manage It with her usual efficiency. I Each teacher should make a Bpectal but judicious effort to help pupils Into a division, as outlined in the course of study. Careful, kindly, persistent work with pupils will accomplish very much In a few weeks. School in No. SO has closed and Mr. Carlock has gone to Klamath County, where he will teach a summer school at Bly. The pupils and patrons are much pleased with the result of the school, being In many respects the best ever taught in that district. There are several good teachers in the county whose certificates expired in February. Under the new law there is no examination until April 11th, at whlob time there will probably be enough successful applicants to supply schools desiring to begin after that date. - Blanks were mailed to all school clerks In rural districts for teachers to use in reporting contracts to the super intendent. Nearly all the teachers have reported, If you have not, call on the clerk and secure a blank, or send to this office the date of contract, time of oommonclng school, length of term and salary received.
