In glancing over the list, we
notice that there are in the coun.
ty, 85 schools--one more than
last year, the new school being in
Licking Creek township, which
gives that township, nine schools.
Twenty-Five per cent. of the
teachers are beginners, and TWEEN
ty-fve per cent. professional
teachers, that Is, teachers VINO
hold normal school diplomas, per-
manent, or professional certiti-
Gates.
Ten teachers hold permanent
certificates; six, professional, and
five normal diplomas.
Of the professional teachers,
Ayr has 3; Belfast, 2; Brush
Creek, 2; Licking Greek, 3; Nc
Connellsburg, 4; Taylor, 8; Tod,
2; Thompson, /, and Wells, /.
Eighty-two persons were ex-
amined by the county superlnten-
dent, and seventy received certifi-
Gates.
There we're not quite schools
enough to go round, and few
who received professional certifi-
Gates did not expect to teach,
hence, there are ten of that kind
of certifices "outstanding.'

ing the annual commencement of the
State Preparatory School at Boulder
were received in this city today
The exercises will be held in that
city at the Presbyterian church ON

Mrs. d. Walter CLARK.
The Sentinel is pleased to note that
ever since Miss Powelson left Grand

record in the school work she began
here. For five years at Gunnison
she maintained perfect attendance
and stood easily at the head of her
class. Her last year there was the
first in the High school. and her
average standing was 98 For three
years at Boulder preparatory school
she stood first in scholarship clearly
by four points, but not being there
the entire four years, she was barred
from the honors. Her average for
the four years was over 96.
Miss Powelson's numerous friends
in Grand Junction will be pleased at
her good record since leaving the city,
