Reynolds principal OF our schC OILS
for the past two years will be
pleased to learn that he has been
elected to the superintendency OF
schools at GAINESVILLE, Iowa, at
nice increase of salary over what he
got here. The people of GAINESVILLE
will find in Mr.. Reynolds strong
teacher The Prof. is an educator
or wide acquaintance in the state
who is thoroughly acquainted with
the school system in Wisconsin, and
is conversant with the latest and
most approved methods of teaching.
While in charge of our schools he
introduced systematic course in
reading by requiring the students of
the High School to read such
classics as are recon mended by the
committee which is composed Of
representatives from our leading
universities, for high schools and
also at his earnest solicitation the
laboratory and library of the high
school room were better equipped
with apparatus and such books as
were most valuable in obtaining the
best results possible under the exist
ing conditions. He is a tireless
worker for the advancement of his
pupils and all that tends to advance
the interests of the school over
which he presides.
The water is gradually falling in

improvised line and hook is meeting
with as much success as the profess

and reel.
