To the president and board of public

tlemen:-
We, the undersigned me mbers OF the
internal committee of your board, beg
to submit herewith q list of the can
didates for positions as teachers In
our schools for the coming term which
after due deliberatiou we have to re-
comment to your favorable consider
alton
You will note that a slight increase
has been made in the salary list OF
three of the teachers, viz. Prof Lo-
pez, Miss Hubbard, and Miss Smith,
in the column headed proposed
salary list" while in the Same column
Others have been scaled down slightly.
We believe that in view of the fact
that we must shortly have more teach
ers. the scaling process will be alb
eolutely necessary in order to keep
within our income, and submit the
matter to the wisdom and good judg
mept of the whole board, to be i'd
justed by them in such q manner as
will best meet the requirements OF the

commended Miss Logan to fill the

tb Q move fs in the right direction and
the choice We have made to I'LL the
vacancy will meet with the unanimous
arp oval of the board. II has been in

| meet with some opposition, which We
hope to be q mistsk Ike. Miss Blacker
has the warm support of tie superin-
teudent, is thoroughly qualified in

that if elected to the position che will

you to inst all as her successor.

from the esteemed DR.. Winston. (pres-
ident of the state university v no states
that he cannot say too much in her
praise. Prof. Putnam hopes to give
her enough outside work which will
eventually bring her salary up to
something approaching her real worth
and commensurate with her abilities
and qualifications.
The re tiremenL of Miss Emily Rush,
who has here,o ore so admirably filled
the place of assistant in the Mex can
school, leaves q vacancy for which we
rec 'mmend Mr.. Maury Kemp, who,
we are satisfied, is in every way quail
fed to fill the place. He resides here
and other things being equal we be-
Iieve that the best Interests of all con-
cerned can be best subs 4rved by the
appointment of local talent to fill the
positions in our Schools
We take this opp 'rtunityof compli-

The head OF q public school system in q

limited facilities in the way of build

in keeping his schools up to q high
