STARTS NEW SYSTEM IN
RURAL SCHOOL WORK
J. P. Matthews, County Supervisor
of Rural Schools, has inaugurated a
new system tor the teachers of ruvai
schools, which he calls “Teachers’ Vis-
iting Day.” At stated intervals, a
teacher in one school will visit the
same grade in another school and the
two teachers work together for the
one day, thereby giving each a dif-
ferent view on the work that is being
done, and a closer co-operation. j Ijjl
