Mr.. Max A. Becher, who teaches
Photography and Biology in the local

Mr.. Becher has been an exception
ally strong teacher in his line and the
superintendent is somewhat worried
over the possibility of finding the
proper man at this time Of the year
o take his place. However, the
board will, in all probability release
Mr.. Becher, as they do not wish to
stand in the young man. way of ad-
Iancement.
Superintendent W. P. Roseman,
states that the school has been run
ring so smoothly that he dislikes to
have break at this time. He be-
ieves that he has never been more
fortunate in getting proficient help.

ne high school. and everything hum.
I'd from the start Pupils and
sachers seem to nave but one ann
o do that which is best for the school.
Everyone is happy and working hard,
and we are going to have this good
work continue, regardless of the re-
slgnation of one teacher, however,
proficient in his work he may be.
| am pleased to know that Milwau-
kee has learned where to look for
good teachers.
Mr.. Roseman hopes to have man
here today whom he will recon-
mend for Mr.. Becher's place. The
young man is graduate of the State
University and comes highly recon-
mended, He finished the full four
year Scientific course in three years
and one-half. which indicates that he
has more than average ability. He
is q son of MIR. Ives of Fort Atkln-
sun.
