Gently, which states thai there are TO be
chosen this year three trustees, to fill the
two vacancies caused by the expiration of
the terms of two members, the other va
cancy being caused by the resignation of
Nj. Martin, who has removed from the
city. o. L. Voss and Ed Maxwell are
the retiring trustees. No candidates
have been formally announced, but
IT as the IntentIon to select persons
who will take an interest in the schools
and maintain the high standard which has
been gained in past years. To serve on a
school board is generally considered a
thankiess task, but IL goes with the duties
OF American citizenship and patriotic
men and women do not shrk the re-
sponsiDility without good excuse. Among
those mentioned as well qualified for the
positions are the present lncumbents and
DIR. Stephens, Denis Shovlin and l.. w.
katzenstein, Mrs. L. ID. Fitzgerald and
Mrs l.. e.. Smith. All or any of these
would be model trustees, all having had
experience in school matters and all take
an interest in modern educational
methods.
The city schools are all hard at work
and The attendance is regular and
prompt. The roll OF honor for last month
is a long one, but will soon DO ready for
publication. The enrolment now con-
tains about 125 more names than last year
at this season. Carroll is now sending IA
pupils to the Lincoln and Central build
ings.
The new pennant, showing the building
having highest standing in attend
ance and punctuality, has graced the
Central staff during the past two weeks
and there IL may remain another fortnight
at least, as that building leads in the last
report. Miss acDonald with her busy
and faithful Sevenths rob the EIghths of
their room banner; Miss Shea with her
lively Thirds carry the big flag banner
up stairs away from Miss Reese's little
tots who had it last month, and at the
Prescott the Fourths and Miss l. zzie
Evans still hold the fort.
