meets the appreciation of the entire

ton, petty jealousy, carping erltl'
cism, gossippy fault finding is sIl-
cnced. The anxiety, apprehension,
uncertainty and vcxaticus canvass
on the part of teachers is removed.
We all know nov, that the present
efficient corps of teachers will be
continued, and ,ur schools will be
successfu.laad foremost IN the State.
We heartily commend the action
of the School Board. With the
patrons of the school and the pupils,
the citizens, all, of Logan, the sen
rrNEL Joins in congratulation to the
teachers in the re-appolntment,
which says in effect, you are not re-
warded for what you have done. you
