The Owyhee nugget. ([Silver City], Idaho) 1905-1984, 1906-06-01
Silver City.

The school here will close a very sue
cessful year next Wednesday, and one
in which the teachers have given very
general satisfaction to both the pupils
aud their parents. The attendance has
not been as large as usual for the past
few months, on account of several with
large families of school children re-
moving from town during the year.
Because of the Indifference of the
principal or some other reason not
known to the publisher, Nugget has
failed to obtain notes of the progress
of the school during the year. As the
publication of such items is often of
considerable interest to both patrons
and pupils, this neglect or Indifference
is to be regretted. Through other
sources, however, we have been able to
learn that eight pupils have passed the
eighth grade this year with good aver
age percentages on their examinations.
The Owyhee nugget. ([Silver City], Idaho) 1905-1984, 1906-06-01

Four of them, to wit; Mary Hicks, Lynn
Baohman, Clifford Weston and Ethel
Gaylord, passed the examinations last
March, and the other four, Lorraine
Gardner, Ethel Kingsley Victor Rowett
and James Brown, passed at an exami-
nation held recently.
The schools will be closed, we have
been informed, without any public
exercises.
Professor Bradfeld has been engaged
as principal for another year. The
lady teachers, one of whom will return
to her home at Denver, aud the other,
who it is rumored is to accept longer
and more important engagement, de-
clined to apply for their places
County Superintendent Miss Hast
ings informs us that all the schools in
the county are now closed with the ex-
ceptious Of two. She says that the
years work in nearly all of them has
been very satisfactory, II she excerpts
the remissness that nearly all the
teachers in the matter of teaching the
pupils to spell correctly. In all other
branches taught the progress has been
commendable. With the exception of
two or three of the districts their
financial condition is excellent.

Those who have lived long in these
Owyhee Mountains become so accus-
toned to weather freaks, such as snow
storms out of season and balmy days
in midwinter that it taxes something
away beyond the usual to surprise them
as the storm beginning Sunday and not
letting entirely until today has done.
Within AS hours time more than two
feet of heavy wet snow came down, and
the weather was boisterous. though not
cold. For the first time within the
memory of old timers, the stages we're
forced to come over the summit as late
as the 29th of May on runners and
leave here in the same manner the fol-
lowing morning. 1t has been tough on
the people up here, but when we con-
slider that while it has showed here
there has been needed rains on the
ranges and the valley ranches we feel
that we can stand it.
Word comes from all sections that
but little injury has been done by frost
to the fruit crop in the valleys and that
we are promised an abundant yield.

Annie Pascoe, Ora Demming and Geor-
gle Sotheren passed the eighth grade,

named. This was the largest eighth
grade class which the school there ever
graduated, all 10 it being successful in
passing.
Professor H. S. Simmons, who has so
successfully conducted the school for
the past eight years, will be retained as
principal another year, aud probably
as much longer as he chooses to re-
main Miss Eliza Mitchell, his much
esteemed and capable assistant for the
past four years. will soou go East TO
visit her parents, and il is rumored
that on her return she wlll take up tie
more interesting vocation OF teaching
the principles Of domestic happiness
and contentment to one OF DeLamar's
popular young men and will no longer
occupy her present position.
Miss Leona f. Crete, one Of the more
advanced pupils Of the DeLamar school,
has received a letter from d, Heath

schools and colleges, which we have
the pleasure Of copying here:

Miss Grete's teacher, Prof. Simmons,

the following comment:
"Leona found the problem and arriv-
ed at the correct result, but differing
from the one given in the book The
book having been in use for long
time, she persisted in the impression
that the book answer must be correct,
but after having solved the problem n
number of different ways, and each
time arriving at the same result, she
became so positive that her answer was
correct that she submitted it to the
publishers, and obtained from them
the above letter in reply. You will note
that this problem is from Wells Essen.
