EXPLANATION
The equalization fund must be expended as suggested by the State superintendent, that is $125.00 to be used to lengthen the school ycar and $25.00 for maps. Each school has had 27 weeks with the exception of the Chapman school which had 26 weeks, closing one week before the others on account of sickness, the week must be added to the spring term. This fund should make the school year 28 weeks. In closing I would say: Parent do you do your duty? Do you visit your schools? One will say, "Oh, I can tell about a school by going by." Yes, but I think you could tell a great deal more by going in and seeing the every day work for an hour.
