Supt. Savage has proven all that

and as manager of large school sys-

thoroughly the latest methods and
theories, but he is not a "faddist" nor
an experimenter, and never was there
a happier family than that formed by
the teaching force OF the Denison
schools.
1t would be difficult to name a factor
that has been more potent in the up
building of Denison than the public
school There are probably hundred
families in Denison today who were
drawn here during the past FIVE years
by the excellence OF our educational
facilities. The college and the public
schools work hand in hand, one is the
complement of the other, and both
must be cordially sustained if Denson
is to keep up its steady and healthy.
growth.
At the beginning OF this school year
it was thought it would be necessary
to open but two school buildings. but
now it has been found that the third
building must be used and it is already
occupied. Some of our schools are al
ready over-crowded and, as pointed
out above, it will be necessary to in
crease the teaching force OF the high
school before another year opens.
