TEACHERS MEETING
Work Of Term Laid Out and
New Test System Adopted.

A teachers meeting was held last
evening at the central building after
the close of school hours, at which
it was decided that the schools could
not attend the fair on Occur d'Alene
Day. 1t is almost impossible for
either the electric or Northern Pacific
road to accommodate even the adults
without considering the $50 school
children, and it is for this reason
that the schools will have to seek
another day. No definite action has
been taken so far, in the matter, but
it will be settled by the end of the
week.
The teachers we're assigned to the
new building, and the graduation Of
the pupils for these buildings has
commenced, and all have been re-
quested to call at the central building
before the end of the week that the
grading may be completed and the
school ready for business Monday
morning.
A new system for the monthly tests
has been arranged, whereby the tests
are given during the regular study
periods of the last week of the
month, instead of Friday afternoon.
which causes the teachers to work
Saturdays.
