The committee on public library rec
commended the re-appointment OF Miss
Wilson, as librarian, at the present SAL
ary Of $500. The Recommendation was
confirmed.
The question OF increased enrolment
at the high school, and the sinquiries'of
parents as to the probable enrollmen:
next year, was omitted from the report
on teachers and schools. DR.. Jepson
called attention to this fact.
BY request, Superintendent Anderson
stated chat, from replies received, It was
expected there would be 3a6 students
next year. AS previously stated Ia the
IntellIgencer. over 800 would necessi-
tate additions to the high school build
ing. DR.. Jepson inquired IL two rooms
would not be recommended. It was a
matter that required speedy attention.
The committee asked for more time,
until It can be found out more definite
~ the number OF pupils likely to at
tend. DR.. Jepsoa thought 1t safe to
predict an enrolment of $50. and at any
rate no time should be lost in making
provisions for It.
To get OF the question motion car
ried which referred the report back to
the committee. Then Messrs. Miller,
Jepson, Noble and Dudley, q quorum Of
the committee. retired to one corner Of
the room to prepare Its report OF the
high school problem. and 4 few min
utes later: recommended that two add!-

teacher was recommended for Webster

ences which shaped conditions during
last week continue to exercise control.
Evidences that the volume OF produce

sumo, arc becoming apparent, and the
producers, who depend on the open
market, have cause to become uneasy,
lest they be scotched. War influences
are also exercising restraint; conditions

contingencies, and the weather vane Is
likely to veer considerably during the
