Positions Filled.
The force of instructors that will
direct the Grand Rapids ship of educa-
ton next year has been engaged for all
departments, with two exceptions
These places will be filled as soon as
possible. From reliable sources comes
assurance that no more capable or eff
cient q set of teachers were ever en-
tered on the Howe High pay rolls than
those that Will guide our students
through the several courses of study
when work commences again. The
Grand Rapids school system is gradu-
ally reaching a standard of perfection
that places it among the foremost insti-
tutions of the kind in our state. The
school is highly rated OH the accredited
list at the state university, its graduates
are admitted to any of the state nor
mails, where they can complete the full
course in two years.
At the head of this splendid, growing
system next year will be Supt. Geo. P.
Hambrecht, a young man who knows
his business and attends to it faithfully.
The REPORTER is confident that Mr.
Hambrecht will prove more than an
equal for the place. His record as an
instructor and constant student during
the past two years here entities HIM to
the full confidence of the patrons of our
public school. Earnest, conscientious
and untiring, his administration Of high
school affairs can bring about no other
result than success. Add to this the
fact that he is personally close TO the
hearts of our young folks, respected by
them in relations exceeding those of
almost any other person connected with
the high school, and then the wisdom
of the choice made by the school board
is apparent. Mr.. Hambrecht holds a
Wisconsin university state certificate;

mer by taking a six weeks superin-
tendents course at the summer school
