The Goodland republic. [volume] (Goodland, Kan.) 1891-1907, 1905-06-09

The board Of education OF Good
land held an important meeting Mon
day evening at s o'clock and Gid not
conclude their labOrs until 4 clock
Several matters OF interest connected
with the city and county high school
came up for consideration, among
them being the election Of teachers
for the four rooms from primary to
seventh grade The old teachers were
reelected as follows:
First primary, Clara Sapp; second
primary, EZZa VanWinklei interme-
date, Sarah Edwards; grammar
grade Rose Filler
John R Reed had been elected in
a previous meeting as principal OF the
I GOOdland city schools and as teach
eT Of the eighth grade, and his sal
airy hxed at $75 per month. Profess
SOr 5. V. Mallory was chosen in the
same meeting as principal Of the
Sherman county high school, but the
salary was not fixed for the law pro-
vides that the board Of county COM
missiOners shall determine what sal
airy shall be paid to the teachers in
the high school
Some objections to the methods Of
conducting the high school had been
made Of late by people living in the
country, and q consequent report was
circulated that the county commits
siOners were going to reduce the sal
airy Of the principal as a sort Of a
compromise.
When the commissioners met this
week as an eQualizing board on pro-
perty valuations for taxes, the cOun-
ty clerks office presented a very busy
appearance, and all that y. Z. Albert
son, William SexsOn and J. W. Klauer
members Of the board, had to do for
the greater part Of Tuesday, was to
listen TO arguments and explosive or
atOry in support Of the high school
and for a maintainenance of the for
mer salary for the principal
A satisfactory compromise was ef-
fected by which S V Mallory, prin-
cipals instead OF being employed for
the year OF twelve months at 800
per month, was hired for the school
year only, OF nine months at a salary
of S119 per month That reduces the
principals cost to the county, sup
posing that the normal will be self
supporting in the sum of S125.
The reasons for employing Mr..
Mallory for a given number OF school
months was because his work of re-
cruiting the high school membership
during the months Of July and Aug
ust had not been bearing the fruit
that had been hoped for it, and be-
cause J. P Phillips, county superin-
tendent, insisted that the prerOgative
Of naming all the instructors for his
normal work be restored to him. The
former arrangement was binding
upon Mr. Mallory to teach in the nor
NAL.
The school board adjourned their
Monday night session to meet the fol-
lowing evening, at which time the
county commissioners by appointment
met with them. It was agreed after
cOnsid cradle debate to pay the high
school principal SLOTS, provided that
a cOmpetent assistant principal should
be procured at S65 per month
The question Of salary being set
tied, the board Of education, from the
applicants for the second place, chose
Miss Della Cardwel of Lawrence, as
assistant principal at a salary Of S65
per month. Miss Cardwel had asked
SIS, but a telegram offering her the
position at the former salary brought
a favorable answer
Miss Cardweu has had four years
experience in teaching, one year OF
which she was assistant principal Of
the high school at st. John, Kan. She
school, the NickersOn normal college
and viii graduate in July from the
Kansas University Miss CardWell
SAYS in her application that she is
particularly qualified to teach latin,
English and history and adds that
she could teach the sciences, German
and mathematics, but would prefer
the former group She is recon-
mended by the teachers committee Of
the University Of Kansas
The board Of education Of Good
land is anxious to have complete
harmony all over the country in the
conduct Of the high school, and are
endeavOring to increase the attend
ance from the country districts A
motion at the last meeting carried
unanimously which provides that
any student from the country dis
triCtS in Sherman county who shall
attend the GOodland schools in any
grades, will not be required 70 pay
any tuition, and that any back tGi-
ton arising out OF attendance Of the
GOOdIand school BY students from the
