The fall term of our public schools
opened last Monday the 18th inst
with more than the average attend
ance. Some of the youngsters were
10th to giving up the vacation days
for those of confinement to the stern
regime of the school room while
others who came carrying a load o.
books their faces beaming with joy
gave expression of a vastly different
feeling and it is sale to venture the
statement that their monthly ex-
aminations and class standings will
bear evidence of the fact that they
have taken to the work in the true
spirit and that they will endeavor
to apply their time in a manner
that will crown their efforts with
success. The corps of teachers for
the ensuing year is E. A. Reynolds,
Principals; Miss Fedrick, Assistant
rincipal; Miss Flora Wilmotte,
Grammar Department; Miss Julia
Keehner, intermediate Department;
Miss Bessie barrow, Primary De-
partment. The board of education
acted wisely in retaining Mr.. Rey-
nolds as principal of our schools; he
is strong teacher and tireless
worker in and out Of the school
room, enthusiastic at all times to a
degree that inspires his pupils IN a
way that brings about good results
and promotes the best interests of
his students.
