On Friday of last week Prof. Geist,
principal Of our schools, closed one Of
the most successful terms in the history
OF our town Never before have our
schools been marked with such interest
and advancement as with the term just
closed, although with the coming Of
| Prof. Wagner about six years ago, who
was succeeded by Prof. G.. M. ShalIer
and Frof j. Il. Wilson, all Of whom
contributed largely TO the present
welfare Of our schools by such work as
| would lay the foundation for the culmi-
nation OF the work that has so success
fully been brought about by Prof. Geist
during the last three years that he has
been among us. On his last years work
he was assisted by Miss Stauffer in
room No. 3, who for two years has been
| untiring In her efforts TO make the
school decided success and who has
proven herself to be an able and eflici-
ent teacher. She has been with US two
years. Miss Phillippi, student Of our
schools two years ago, had charge OF
room No. 2 and while in many ways
this department may be considered as
the most difficult to handle yet Miss
Phillippi closed her school on last
Tuesday with an entertainment that
received the approval of all present.
While in room No. l., clustered about
Miss Clouser, were no less than eighty
primary scholars ranging in age from
six TO ten years. Miss Clouser has been
with rs for three terms and her work
has been OF such q character that
would place her near the head OF the
line Of primary teachers. We can only
say that for the coming year we can
ask nothing better Of our directors than
that they secure for us as efficient a
corps OF teachers as the past have
| proven themselves to be.
