School Notes:

At meeting of Enterprise school
board Saturday, Prof. w. NJ. Sutton was
re-engaged as principal for the school
year 10000, at a salary of $l35
month; Mrs. B. L. Sutton as teacher at
S65 month. and Miss Marie Church as
teacher at $40 a month. The vote in
favor of retaining these teachers was
unanimous
The retention of Prof Sutton meets
With practically unanimous approval of
the patrons of the school. Under his
leadership the Enterprise schools have
become the pride of the citizens, who
claim with good reason there ere no
better in the state. In every respect
they are excellent, and tie credit is
given where it belongs, to Prof. Sutton,
even by those who were loudest year
ago in the cry for his removal.
Another Wise Action.
The county high school board has re-
engaged Prof. w. T.. Moore rs principal
for another year at salary of $l25 a
month, the contract covering period
of nine months. One or two members
were for a "cheaper" man or had per-
sonal friend to advance, but the major
ity was in favor of Prof. Moore, who in
five months has organized an insti ution
ont of hate, distrust and sectional
jealousy that is the pride of every true
citizen of Wallowa county and is already
favorably known all over Eastern Ore.
gon. Prof. Moore has been just the
man for the place, and the cause of
education in this county has been ad.
vanced wonderfully by his work.
4 At meeting of the high school board,
Tuesday, the question of accepting the
recently printed teachers manual and
courses of study was disposed Of mega
lively. The board claims the work is
full of gross errors and is otherwise not
according to contract. The printer is
offered the privilege of doing the work
over, subject to the approval of the
lboard.
It was voted to purchase piano. A
Wallo wa firm has piano ut school on
trial, for which it asks 800. The chair
man of the board is opposed to the buy
ing OF that instrument without inves-
tigation as the make is unknown to
Miss DuFur, high school music teacher,
or anyone else competent to Judge that
he has questioned.
