State Superintendent of Schools Attends Splendid Meeting at Vallley View Approximately 60 directors and clerks attended the meeting for school officers at Valley View School on Monday. State Superintendent Rex Putnam and Dr. V. D. Bain, of the state department of education, were the out-of-county speakers. Mr. Putnam explained the plan of the state department of education in attempting more nearly to help ele mentary schools, especially rural school*. The plan, which is being used in Coos county, is the plan which they hope to carry throughout the state, namely: the visit of V. D. Bain, who is head of the elementary education, to as many of the rural situations as possible, and a follow up meeting with the school boards. Coos county is the first county to have the privilege of one of these school officers’ meetings under the new plan. Mr. Putnam spoke to the directors and clerks as to the work of the teacher, emphasizing that above ev erything boards must realize “teach ers are people.” He said that a great deal of nervous strain could be pre vented by preventing children from arriving at too early an hour and beginning school at too early an age, (Continued on Page Eight) |150 Fire Damage Friday The fire department was called last Friday evening, about five o’clock, to the W.
