School closed last Friday after very
good years work with three graduates.
The exercises were held in the hall and
Hon. v. r. McGinnis delivered very
forcible address on education. The
house was full and all were pleased
with the program. The graduates We're:
Misses Lena Overholtzer and Carrie
Edwards and Ray Moral. County SUI
perintendent Hutchinson was here last
week and was we'll pleased with the
work. Ray Moral will begin a spring
term of school.
Our board was behind as usual in Sc
curing teachers and Bessie Judd secur-
ed the Garden Grove school at better
pay. Good primary teachers are hard
Z to get, so when you get good one do
not expect them to apply as in the
start but hire as soon as election is
over. This is the second time we have
been left by not acting in time. The
board secured the services of Prof.
Cosner for the coming year, and there
is no good reason for not showing the
other teachers the same courtesy as is
shown the principal when they do good
work. Our teachers as a rule are
natures noblemen and women and are
very poorly paid in our great state.
Do not wait until it is too late or some
one else will have the plum.
