The Butler Weekly Times. VOL. XXVIII. Some Educational Notes. By Supt. A. L. Ives, The County Teachers’ Association will be held at the cours house in Butler, November 15, 16 and 17th. The programs have been sent out and a profitable meeting is expected. Two members of the faculty of the Warrensburg Normal will be present and onetrom the State University. The County Declamatory Contest will be held on Friday « «ning of the session. This is to select two con- testants—one boy and one girl—to represent this county in the Declam- atory Contest in the West Central Teachers’ Association at Warrens- burg during the Thanksgiving holi- days. The examination questions for the fires quarter of the school year have been sent out to the teachers. The school year {s divided {nto quarters on the basis of the whole number of months schoolis to be continued during the year. Ina seven months term the quarter is seven weeks, in an eight. months term it is eight weeks, After the quarterly examl- nations, a permanent record of each pupil’s work for the quarter should be made and reports of the pupils’ wrogress sent to the parents. The plan of counsy graduation will be thesame this yearas last year. The number of graduates last year was 78, From the interest already being manifested, it 18 safe to say that the number of graduates this year will be much larger. Teach- ers are planning the work more sye- tematically and pupils will be able to do more work in less time. It {e quite certain that the High Schools will again offer Free Scholarships.
