District Agt. i Iros.? 1 :k, Mgr., Agents. 1 IMPORTANT NOTICE TO 1 TIACHERS. 1 \ I have been looking over last year's annual reports and I find many inaccuracies in them. It is impossible for the county superintendent to make out his annual report correctly * unless the reports of the teachers are * accurately made. In making your ^ annual report, please be sure that c your total enrollment and average at- ? tendance for months is the same as c your total enrollment and average \ attendance by grades. Trustees 1 'rtain that these annual flipfltM Ml c rrect before signing 1 ev tTic final salary* warrants. The law forbids the approval by the county superintendent of the last * salary warrant unless it is accompanied by a correct annual report. Two-teacher Rural Graded Schools ? must run six months and those of more than two teachers must run seven months because the trustees of these schools have entered into a . contract with the State to run the ' schools the required length of time in consideration of the State Aid which they expect to re eive. If any State aided school does not run th ) 1 required 1< nglh of time, the Stat V p.rrtn :ut of Education expect such selioa' to luiurn the Rural Graded AiVnlc > tiiis' is done in sue ,A , J 4 : 1 i i 1 c.-v.-, 'v w.i' i:c impOS; lipo, Uiui( I! 1 'aw. for lb'' State Sr.pt rintcrde: ! /.duration to recognize th s is eligible for state aid n< \ J yea Stati aid i ; now brim;' withheld from a few schools becau: e this money was not returned last year after a failure to run the required time. Last year we had the Contingent I 'und under which weak si heels rev be aided hut last year's hgisV.tu 1 away with the' fur.d and suhsti i...teil in its place the Kqunlizing fund. Unci r the old law it was 1< to 4J*o ccvndy rue"rcin' . ad' r.t to do cidc which of the schools were inc. . needy and to select the ones to receive this aid without restriction: liut under the row law certain von ditions- nwiM be 'net by tbr s;. sehoe> receiving E'V^alining Aid. These con ditions, first; that each school mast have an eight-mill tax, second tlv. the salaries paid to the. teachers must be kept within the limits ro | *uii ni uy l riJS IUNV, IllIVU; that :i<' j teacher can have less than 25 pupib j nor more than 50 enrolled, rcgardlcs i of the number of grades she has nr.;' she must teach all that she enrolls. Affidavits must accompany all applications for Equalizing Aid. We laitnv that it is hard for some of our schools to meet these conditions an 1 requirements; however, >w must remember they werc not laid down by either state or county officials but : by the General Aessombly. If these | requirements were not thrown ' around the expenditure of this nion! ev, it would call for an immense state 1 levy to furnish this fund. It is not yet too late for schools having an eight-mill tax to make the necessary j changes in order to become eligible for Equalizing Aid if they act at i once. If any trustees or teachers are not I absolutely sure of the status of their schools in regard to their receiving State Aid, it will bo well for them to confer with the county supevinj iondent at once. Schools planning to put up new buildings this year must file their applications without delay. There applications receive consideration from the State Superintendent in the ' order in which they are received by [ him. j A great number of complaints i have come from teachers about no ; records being left of their prode1 cesser's work. To remedv this . \v< J have spent much time and thought i in getting information blanks wind are to be filled out by each teacher ; and principal. These blanks are t | give detailed information of the ! ground covered by the different I grades and by the individual pupils. The Teacher's Association has recommended that all teachers sh u Id be required to leave a record of all their school, work for the use of their successors, so the members of the County Hoard of Education have expressed themselves as being in ae cord with the teachers in this matter. They have therefore asked the County , Superintendent of Education not to . approve the last monthly pay war- ' rant unless it is accompanied by a complete record of the year's work. These blanks are ready for use and < are to be furnisher! .. .w tin IIV I > free of charge, made out by them, and filed in the Superintendent's office along with the annual report oi each teacher. It will require some ^ time and work to fill these blanks and teachers should get the necessary r number for their schools before time for the term to end. Please secure rour blanks at your earliest convenience and be prepared to hand :n :hese reports when you bring your v ast pay warrant. Yours truly, >1. J. Bullock, c Co. JSupt of Education.
