HIGH SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT.
A change in the plan for the COM
mencement exercises at the high school
was made upon recommendation of the
| committee on teachers and school
work. The committee states that the
large number of graduates last year
made it impossible for all to present
essays or orations on commencement
day. A few Of the class were appointed
TO have part in the public exercises
and the rest prepared, and at a time
appointed for the purpose, read before
the board and their friends their theses
connected with the subjects which they
had been pursuing. Some difficulties,
however, were experienced in making
satisfactory appointments and some
. dissatisfaction was felt by pupils who
could not appear. This year the diff
Guilty is increased by the larger num-
Der of the graduating class. For this
reason and the further one that the
pupils can be much more profltabiy en-
gagd during the latter part of their
finishing year at the high school than
in the writing of commencement essays
and orations the following resolution
was submitted by the committee and
adopted:
Resolved, That at the close of the
present year, instead of the usual or
der of graduating exercises for the
! high school, each member of the class
be required to write and present a the
sis connected with some one of the sub.
jects of study which he is pursuing
and that the public exercises consist
of an address by a suitable person en-
gagged in educational work upon some
educational subject together with the
usual music, presentation of diplomas
etc
The committee on teachers and school
work recommended the employment
of Miss Nellie Probes as teacher in the
fifth grade at the Bryant school at a
salary of S65 per month, vice Miss Mary
E. Edwards transferred to Emerson
school.
EXAMINATION OF TEACHERS.
On recommendation of the same
committee the time for the first exam
nation of teachers for the ensuing
year was fixed for Tuesday and Wednes-
day, June 16 and H. c. A. Kenaston
r. j. Caskey, W. R. Malone and Miss
NJ. A. Holton were employed as asso-
ciate examiners, compensation 81 per
day.
The superintendent of schools was
given discretionary power in allowing
announcements to be made to pupils of
the high school in relation to public
lectures when they are of an educa-
tiona! nature.
MRS. ROOT ENDORSED.
In view of the fact that the position
of supervisor of physical culture has
been abolished, and further in con-
sideration Of the very excellent serv-
ices rendered the public by Mrs. Susie
8. Root supervisor of that depart
ment, the president and clerk, in behalf
of the board, was instructed to give
Mrs. Root the unanimous endorsement
and recommendation of the board for
the excellent services rendered while in
its employ
