County Court
Proceedings For
August Term
Schools in Sherman county will
begin on varied dates this year
as no attempt has been successful
to induce them to start on the same
day. The Wasco directors have set
August 31 as the date for opening
of school in that district. Moro will
begin S;ptember 8, just after the
I>abor day vacation, and Grass
Valley and Kent will begin on the
14L.1 of September. No date for the
opening of the Rufus school has
been officially announced.
Big Change Being Made
Of the 32 teachers that have
been hired 17 are new to the coun­
ty and 15 will have been here a
year or more. This is a high per
centage of turnover for a teaching
force. Another teacher will be
hired for the Harmony school as
patrons voted last Saturday night
to held school another year there.
This is the last of the rural schools
and it is expected that from two
to six pupils will attend this year.
Six were in attendance last year
insuring their right to continue
with local school for another year.
Four of the principals will be
