marks and introduced the superintendent, who
confined his remarks merely to pleasant greet

After the superintendent had spoken, the su-
pervising principal addressed the teachers. His
remarks were what the teachers were most
anxious to hear, for he announced to them the
assignments for the year to the various schools.

each building. They came from mountain sea
and valley, many of them sun-brOwned and
in some cases, bystanders declared that they
noticed freckles. There was a general scramble
and a series OF SInacks, denOting the regulation
osculatory salute, when a newcomer arrived.
