Prospective candidates for teaehers* certificates ia McHenry county met las*, week at Woodstock with those who began teaching for the first time last fall. This was the first of the series of meetings planned especially to aid beginning teachers. Nearly seventy enrolled. Those from McHen­ ry and vicinity were: Misses Anna Bolger, Fanny Granger, Agnes Dodge, Marguerite Granger, B. Iva Woodford. The high standard these and others present are determined to set is des­ tined to rank educationally this county above all others in the state, if our teachers receive the proper support and encouragement. A high standard of admission and continued professional progress during the life of their cer­ tificate was favorably talked. , Will the rural schools vie with the city schools for the better teachers? Fi­ nancially, they are better able to wel­ come this wholesome rivalry and this meeting shows, if it shows anything1 at all, that rural teachers will prepare if such preparation will be given just recognition in country schools. Supt. Thomas made a very practical and helpful talk relating to the daily program and other school work. Coun­ ty Superintendent A. M. Shelton dis­ cussed with the teachers the questions that had been sent out prior to the meeting and outlined the work for the nfext meeting, which will be held Sat­ urday, April 15. The annual teachers' institute will be held at Woodstock March 27-31. This is the last week in March and an excellent time for the spring vacations. The new school law, as codified by our last general assembly provides that Ave days shall be given by all school boards for institute work duping the year. The old law formerly provided for only three days. Teachers and direc­ tors should inform themselves upon this point. An excellent program has been arranged and every teacher will be greatly benefitted. MIsb Edna Keith of Joliet, Prof. Briggs of Charles­ ton and Supt. Handle of Mattoon have been secured as instructors. Several teachers and superintendents of the cdUnty will also aid, Special music will be furnished by teachers and other people of the county. Complete an­ nouncements will appear later in The Plaindealer. The regular meeting of the princi­ pals and superintendents of the county will be held next Saturday, March 11. Reports of the semi-finals given to all eighth grade pupils last Satun)ay will be made and matters relating to our county institute will be discussed. In addition to this, Supt. Whjte of Elgin will address the meeting. k F1EKCE NIGHT ALAKM is the hoarse, startling cough of a child suddenly attacked by croup.
