Applications to the number Of forty
or more have been received from half
the states in the uuion, beginning in
Connec icut sni including all the
western states, for the job Of principal
and the board feels no uueasiness
about getting good principal for the

embarrassed by the quantity of good
material to he selected from,
The REGISTER believes that the
selections will meet the hearty
approval of the patrons OF the schools.
All are experienced teachers, many of
them have grown up in lola and been
educated here, and the entire corps
