School Notes.
Editor Gazette:
According to an opinion ren
dered by the Attorney General, a
teacher whose certificate expires in
February may take the examina
tion in August, and, if successful,
may ha ve the certificate issued when
her other certificate expires. This
may be a matter of convenience to
teachers who do not wish to lose
three days from work in February.
It is to be hoped ' that the dis
tricts which have not yet sent in
their library orders will attend to
this at oDce. The orders must be
in the handi of the superintendent
not later than August 1. Several
districts failed to send in their or
ders last year, and the Library
Commission mads selections for
them. This resulted in the dupli
cation of many books.
Several school boards have al
ready complied with the new law,
and have had tbe school house doors
arranged to open outward. It
would be an excellent plan to have
window boards placed in tbe win
dows before school opens in the fall.
This seems like a small matter, but
it is a means of providing for ven
tilation without exposing the pupils
to a direct draft of air. Pupils can
not do good work in a room full of
foul air. It is a waste of money to
pav teachers for work which might
be made much more effective by
having good ventilation. If no win
dow boards are provided, the chil
dren will open the windows and sit
n tbe draft of cold air. The seeds
of pneumonia and other diseases
are sown. The bad colds thus con
tracted cause a great loss of time.
Don't be "penny wise and pound
foolish." One of the things decided
upon at the county superintendents'
convention was thrt this year would
be a year of work in behalf of the
health of the pupils. As many
readers already know, the writer
emphasized this in the last institute
program and also at the school
board convention. This matter
will be kept before you all the year.
This county spent $37022.20 last
year upon its schools, and much of
this money was wasted through un
sanitary conditions prevailing in
many of the school rooms. It is
not the intention of the writer to
"kick," but it is his intention to do
all he can to make conditions better
for the children who have little to
say about the management of the
schools. The county health officer
has offered to assist in making the
sanitary conditions of our schools
better.
The report of the county super
intendent just filed in the office of
tbe State superintendent shows that
64 different teachers wereemployed
in this county last year. 1136 pupils
were enrolled in the schools, and
the average number belonging was
947. The per cent, of attendance
was 93. The number of legal vot
ers for school purposes was 1135,
one lees than the number of pupils
enrolled. The average salary per
month paid male teachers was SG9.
70: female teachers, 853.91. The
superintendent visited every school
in the county, including the joint
districts, of which there are five.
He visited several schools twice
and two or three times. In the
performance of his official duties,
he travelled 2614 miles. The school
houses and equipment are valued
at $54,900.
Respectfully,
S. E. Notson, Co. Supt.
J. P. Rhea, ot Walla Walla, was
amon? those who attended the meeting
ot the water users yesterday.
In regard to the sheriff expense
account, which passed in the Coun
ty court, the Gazette is informed
by Sheriff Shutt that $270.55 was
detective hire and $33.35 out of
the $303.90 was for prisoners' board
and other sheriffs expenses.

BOARD MEETS
Interesting Session at the
Courthouse Yesterday.
F. M. 8axton, of Baker City, member
ot tbe State Board of Water Commie-
sionern, came to Heppner Tuesday even
ing, and yesterday held a int etihg at
the courthouse to explain the working"
of the new law.
The court room was crowded with
men from all sections of the onnty who
had come in to learn what their ri;jhti
are in regard to t lie use of water that
flows through their property.
Mr, Saxton read the law totheassem- j
bht?e and explained it quite thoroughly, j
dweding al some length upon the re
quirements of the rnea'iue. After mak
ing the explanations, the meeting was
declared open for questions, and j.idging
from the number cf questions asked and
the eentiment expreseed, it is very plain
that the Morrow county water users do
not appreciate eorae of the workings of
the new law.
The aft.rnoon session was devoted to
receiving the applications for water
rights.
