Owing to the crowded condition of
| the three school rooms, the board has
wisely opened the fourth room and en-
ployed another teacher. They are not
justified in doing so in financial way,
but there was no help for it. They Sc
lected Miss Sadie McCauley for IL
structor; first, because she had a GER
tihcate that would entitle her to teach
the very best school in the county;
| and, second, she was willing to work
for the small sum of $50 per month.
At this rate the board was enabled to
put in another teacher, and the school
will be bettered thereby. The corps of
teachers IS now as follows: c. F. Bell,
principal, instructor of the High School
department; E. E. Morrison, Gram
mar department.; Sadie McCauley, In
termediate, and Mrs. Baldwin the
Primary.
