Miss Beulah Rhodes, one of Northport'S
bright young teachers, has engaged to teach
term of school in the town of Waldo.
Miss Rhodes is graduate of the Cove
White High school, has attended the Cas-
tine Normal school one term, and has taught
several successful terms in this town and
Belmont. She is a young lady Of excenent
moral character, a member of the Baptist
church, and we bespeak for her the approval
of those interested in school affairs who
appreciate brains in teacher.
The school committee are entitled to great
praise in their well merited efforts in max
ing the school houses of the town more at
tractive to the scholars, by painting and
papering the inside, putting up curtains, etc.
We would suggest that the teachers invite
the pupils to decorate the walls of the
school room with good pictures-not expen-
sive-pictures, as Mr.. Stetson says, (which
will take hold of the imagination and sug-
gest things sweet and pure, things grand
and heroic"

Mrs. D. had long been an invalid, but dur
ing all the years of suffering she heroically
combatted the insidiOus attacks of the de-

able she commended with her suffering and
disease that she might continue her aid in
the home she so deeply loved and to admin
