The Lodi Public Schools.

From the Tribune.
On the Tribune table is a copy OF
the Lodi Enterprise. In it is found
over a column devoted to the high
school of that place, of which S.
Miles Thomas OF this city has recent
ly assumed the principalship. Aside
from Mr.. Thomas, Iowa county is
represented on the corps of teachers
by Miss Frances Elgar, of Rewey,
who is an assistant in the high school
department, having charge of litera-
ture and also has supervision of mus
ic and drawing in the grades, and
NJ ISIS Joan Jacka, of this city, who
has charge Of the Bird and 4th grades
There are enrolled 1886 pupils, 100 be-
ing in the high schol, of which mum
Der SO are tuitioners. Lodi's school
is rated as one of the best in the
state for a town Of that size, and we
are confident that the teachers en-
ployed from this section will do well
their part in maintaining for the
school its proud distinction.
