The school board and superintendent Of
schools at Fairmont, Mimi, are in a guam
dairy because Of the prevalence of the
lnicrobc in the schools. Three
teachers have already given it out that

The Fairmont Sentinel "Cynic'' says:
.Perhaps the board has been too fas-
tidious in the past Some of them have
gone on the theory that an attractive

and from year to year have endeavored
to raise the standard of beauty along with
ability to teach. and that they have sue

teachers persist in getting married. =
There is one room in the Fairmont
schools that is especially fatal. No young

The other day they got to talking over
the relative merits of farming and of the
general store business, and the result was
that they swapped businesses. Swearingen
takes the store and Breiholz takes the
farm.
