MR.. WILLIAM DEAL is In charge OF the
cuapgos IN tne upper school room, required by
the creation Of fourth grade Miss Prouty
has been assigned to the department which
will rank next to the high. Miss Miriam l.
Kimball, a successful teacher In the Mortified
graded school for the past four years, has been
engaged for the primary department. Miss
Kimball's work has always been with primary
pupils, for which she seems to have special
fitness Miss Prouty's services in that de-
partment have been highly commended, though
her previous experience had been with more
advanced scholars. The arrangement made
by the committee seems to be a wise one, the
best for the school and the most satisfactory to
the teachers, each Of whom will be at work in
the line OF her previous experience. The com
mittee has acted judiciousiy in this matter
with wise regard for economy and efficiency,
and on Monday next it is believed that the
four grades will open with full numbers and
the school will start off under very hopeful and
encouraging auspices.
