spe ,taI to Times-Republican.

Storm Lake, Dec. 26.-The school
board has decided to employ an ad-
ditional teacher. The promotions COM

entire eighth grade would go to one
teacher; SO, the decision was arrived
at to employ an additional teacher and
occupy the room at the Seventh street
school which has been vacant since
the addition to the school house was
built in 1894. The new room will be
entirely eighth grade and the pro-
motions from that school hereafter
will be directly into the high school
