Miss Sarah D.. Timer will open
a private school in Tucumcari for
the instruction OF those advanced
beyond the regular course OF study
afforded, by our public schools.
The course OF study as outlined in
the curriculum covers those sub.
iects given in the most advanced
high schools. Miss Ulmer is a
graduate OF Northwestern Univer.
sity, and comes very highly recon-
mended. Our school board, after
carefully examining her creden.
tials and recommendations, have
given their hearty endorsement to
the enterprise, and to her as an
instructor. We do not have the
necessary facilities for a high
schoofcourse, and this will give "a
most excellent opportunity for
o VINO desire a hlRher educa
ton. Arrangements have also
been made so that any parent de-
string to do so, may have their
children transferred from the pub
lie schools to Miss Ulmsr's school,
by paying the regular tuition
which she charges. This only APP
plies to the fifth, sixth and seventh
grades. IL was thought advisable
to make the arrangement because
OF the crowded conditions OF our
schools. Any person desiring to
attend the school, and wanting to
work for their board or room, or
any persons who will furnish board
or room to students for certain
work, will please communicate with
Miss Ulmer. We hope that Miss
Ulmer will receive the hearty sup
port OF our citizens.
