TEACHERS HAVE
 BEEN CHOSEN.
Sprinsdale Schools to Open Aug ust 3l.-To be Eight
 Months Term.

 completed the selection ot teachers for next term of school, with the exception of an assistant at the High School.
 The teachers selected are:
 w. J. Peterson, principal High School.
 $. D. Woods, principal Cram mar School.
 Miss Sophia Walker, sixth grade.
 Mrs. Clare Farrar, fifth grade.
 Miss Lee Davis, fourth grade.
 Miss Mary Carter, third grade.
 Miss Blanche Sturdivant, sec ond grade.
 Miss Ola Watson, first grade.
 MT. Woods was principal of the Grammar School last year, and Miss Walker, Miss Carter and Miss Watson were also teachers last year. Mrs. Far Tar has taught in the school i'll the past. Miss Sturdivant is a graduate of the Springdale High School, and taught last year out beyond Elm Springs where she gave splendid satisfaction. This will be Miss Davis first eXper- 1enee as teacher, as she was ole of the graduates at the last term of school. She stood high in her classes, however, and Was granted d first-grade license by the county examiner, so her friends have no fears but what she will succeed.
 MT. Peterson, principal of the High School, resides at Russell vile, and is a young man who comes highly recommended. The board IS now negotiating with d lady residing at Dard- anelle for assistant at the High School, but as 10 whether or not she will accept the place, IS not yet known.
 The board decided on an eight months term of school, to open August 31. Both buildings are to be repainted, inside and out, and the doors at the Grammar School building made to open outward. The probabilities are that a fire escape will be added to this building. The platform in the principals room is to be taken out and more seats added, so as to accommodate all the pupils at chapel exercises. The problem of properly heating the two buildings was also consider ed by the board. and 1t was de- cided to use coal this year at the High School. Large shields of sheet iron are to be constructed for the stoves at the Grammar School building which will allow a good fire to be maintained all the time and still not make 1t too warm for those seated near by.
