We learn today with regret that Mr..
G. Vertrees, who has been the popular
and successful superintendent of our
schools the past year, has decided to
withdraw from the teaching profess
sion aud engage in some line Of work
connected with business. He will not
he an applicant for reelection but in
tends to remain In Kennewick. Mr..
Vertrees has formed SO favorable an
impression of the people of our town
during his stay here the past school
year, and that fact coupled with the
other that he is convinced of the great
commercial possibilities of the place,
are the Inducements that have led
him to enter mercantile life here. Mr..
Vertrees' Influence as a teacher and
as u citizen has been along the best
lines and every such man Is a tower
Of strength to q community. Just
when our school system is taking
form We think Mr. Vertrees' expert
ence and acquaintance with local
conditions would have been highly
be... fical to the district, but having
taught school for several years, the
writer is convinced that it is good
business to get out Of, and the future
will show that Mr.. Vertrees has de-
termimed wisely.
