Connelly Seeks Post as County Teacher and Census Reform
W E Connelly, a long time local teacher with a 2nd grade certificate, plans to attend the State Normal and seeks a position in a country school. A new law requires districts to record each child’s name birth place and date with parental oath, and clerks will collect this data during census taking. County priests are urged to inform congregations as many Germans do not read the county paper. Preference is for teachers who attended the State Normal School, offering a higher quality instruction and a raise of five dollars per month for the district and children.
