FULL COTERIE.
The Board Of Education Fills all
Vacancies in the Union Schools.

Friday evening the Napoleon Union
School Board held an adjourned session fol
the purpose OF filling vacancies.
Miss Helen F. Barnes was elected Princi-
pal of the High School TO fill the vacancy
caused by the promotion of ]. F. Beck to
the superintendency.
Miss Lizzie Conway wasIgiven charge OF
the Grammar Department, made vacant
by the former teacher Mrs. Weaver failing
TO apply.
Miss Emma Groschner was given the 2nd
Primary, Miss Hildred's former room.
Our coterie of teachers for the coming
year will consist as follows:
Supt. ]. F. Beck will manipulate the
! ever that gives movement and direction to
action of the teachers, general and specific.
The Professor is we'll known in Napoleon
having been Principal of the High School
for some four years. He is fully competent
to discharge the duties incumbent upon him
in his new position, and his familiarity with
the needs of our schools will greatly aid him
in making a creditable showing from
the start. His power of discipline is
of a high order while his proclivities as a
teacher have never been questioned. The
patrons are looking for radical changes to
to take place under this new regime.
Most of Napoleon is acquainted with the
new principal, Miss Helen F. Barnes, she
having taught here several years ago as AS
sistant Principal. She was re hired at an
increase of salary but declined the offer for
better one in the Mansfield schools. Dur
ing the last few months she has taken the
place of one of the Professors at Ada during
his work at Columbus as legislator.
As scholar and teacher of larest ability
Miss Barnes reputation is nigh wherever
her work has been tested. She was a gradu-
ate of the class of 'S9 at Delaware.
Miss Seys who will assist Miss Barnes in
the high school work is also graduate of
Delaware College. Her work here during
the la st two years was all that could be de-
sired and the coming term she will doubt
less cooperate with the Principal in max
ing the High School one of very high
standard.
Miss Lizzie Conway, the A Grammar
school teacher, comes from our own county,
Liberty township, and very highly recon-
mended. She has had several years exper-
ience in the work she is about to take up,
hence her duties will be familiar and her
success commensurate with her ability.
The other teachers have been re-hired but
as yet the departments have not been as
signed. nor will they be until some timein
August. 1t is presumed, however, that
they will be given their old departments.
Miss Mayme Wilson, as teacher in the
B Grammar department has met with sue
cess during the past term. This department
has always been considered difficult one to
handle regarding its discipline, but its pres
ent teacher has proven herself equal to the
mergency. She is graduate of the
Union Schools.
Miss Hattie Hudson, next in line, has
given the best of satisfaction as teacher in
the G Grammar department. Her success
has been so marked during the past year in
this department that the Board can ill afford
to assign her to any other.
The A intermediate department is under
the control of Miss Carrie Bloomfield, an
other graduate of the schools in which she
has cast her lot as one of the preceptors.
She has faithfully performed her work and
those who will come under her instruction
are eager to begin work. That nothing will
happen to rob them of her services is hoped
for, but there has been a case of just such
robbery few weeks since and history has
a habit of repeating itself.
Miss Fannie Knupp is the directing hand
that presides over the B intermediate. She
graduated from our schools in 1887 and
has had the value of several years
teaching in Deshler and other places. Her
is geniality itself and she is
prime favorite with her pupils. The p In
termediate department could be placed un-
der no better nor more worthy supervision.
On the lower floor Miss Lulu Coover has
the 3rd Primary. She is the youngest
teacher in the building having been mem
ber of the class of 800. Although her ex-
perience has been somewhat brief she has
demonstrated procivities for teaching that
at once place her high in the estimation of
those who are benefited by her work. She
bids fair to become one of our best teach
ers.
Miss Emma Groschner is graduate of
The schools but has never as yet taught, she
being one of the teachers who was hired at
The Boards session Friday night. Her
friends entertain no fears but that she will |
fully come up to the average.
Miss Belle King receives the little ones di-
.ect from mothers care and it is in the |
First p, imary. taupht by her. that too much |
