ELECT TEACHERS
FOR NEXT YEAR
School Board Also Fills Vacancies
Caused BY Resignations--Most
of Old instructors Remain.

Acting as a nominating committee
four OF the members OF the Board of
Education held a meeting yesterday
afternoon at the office of Superin-
tendent j. A. Wood for the purpose Of
preparing list OF teachers for the
ensuing term in the pubic schools of
Santa Fe. President T. B. Catron pre-
sided and the Others present were
James l.. Seligman, n. B. Laughlin
and Jose d. Sena. Superintendent
Wood was at his post as secretary.
All of the teachers now employed
in the public schools of this city who
made application for reelection were
recommended for their old positions.
Five of the present teachers will re-
tire with the closing Of schools Fri
day, among them being Principal
w. e. Garrison who will assume the
presidency Of the New Mexico Normal
University at East Las Vegas. The
vacancies thus created will be filled
without any difficulty. In fact five
teachers were selected from long
list OF applicants as the best adapted
for the several positions.
The roster of teachers selected by
the committee will be voted upon for
confirmation at the next regular meet
ing of the school board and there is
little likelihood but that the entire
list prepared will be ratified. Instead
of recommending the appointment OF
high salaried principal for the High
School 1t was decided to have Super
intendent Wood act as principal with
two assistants under him. The school
board members felt that the present
attendance at the High School was
not large enough to warrant employ
ing more than two teachers as mem
bers OF its faculty and for tnat reason
thought it best that the ones whose
services we're engaged should be
teachers, rather than having prin-
cipal and one assistant.
Miss Beatrice Bach who has been
assistant principal of the High School
is one OF he quintet who retires and
as Principal Garrison goes out too it
leaves two vacancies to fill in the
High School Miss Elizabeth Faulk-
ner of Columbia, Missouri has bee-
recommended as first assistant, and
Miss Cora B. Wickham of Anacortes,
Washington, as the second assistant.
The other new teachers whose names
have been placed on the list for con
firInation are Miss Edna Condor. of
Hutchinson. Kansas: Miss Lottie E.
Stebbins, of Munising, Michigan, and
Miss Louise S. Adams. Miss Adams
is a resident now of Santa Fe but for
merly lived in Massachusetts.
The following are the present teach
ers who have applied for reappoint-
ment: First ward, Miss Ella Miller;
Second ward, Miss Louise Scnnepple
and Miss Amelia Gutterman. Third
ward, Miss Elizabeth DuVal Miss
Elizabeth Phelps, Miss Carol Lind
beck. and Miss Edith M. Walker.
Kindergarten, Mrs. Dora c. Fletcher.
Spanish Miss Matilda Alonzo.
Miss Beatrice Bach and Miss Ellen
+. Daniels, two of the retiring teach
ers have accepted positions under
Professor Garrison at the New Mex
leo Normal University. Miss Louise
Rider who will also retire at the end
of the present term is going to re-
turn to her home in Illinois where it
is rumored she will soon become
bride Mrs. Alan G. McCord de-
clined to consider a re-appointment as
she only accepted position as teach
er to fill a vacancy until school closed.
