afternoon of the same day he visited st.

The Next school Year

All the teachers for rhe ensuing school
year have been engaged, and with sur
prisingly few changes. Prof Stanton
will remain. He is giving the school ex-
cellent service. As an educator he has
few equals, and under his direction tn.
corps of teachers are doing excellent
work.
Miss Martyr has resigned, and will
return to her home in Ishpeming, Mich.
She abandons teaching altogether, it is
animated to engage in housekeeping in
the near future.
Miss Ierril of st. Charles will succeed
her. The first grade will be divided into
two sections and full days service given
to both, for which an additional teach
er has been secured-Miss Baker of ST
Charles.
The school is to be congratulated upon
the few changes made. as nothing is
more demoralizing than sweeping in
novations, which are bound Ito come
with new teachers.
