Only Six Tender designations to
Board of Education.
Rest If the InstructOrs' Force
Is All Reelected.
MISS SCHLEY ELECTED
Will Take Her Former Place in
the High School.
The Other Vacancies Also Filled
by Board.

The two hundred and ten teachers
employed in the city schools last year
were re-employed for another year at
special meeting of the board of
education Thursday afternoon at
O'Clock, with the exception of six who
rendered their designations. 1t is
significant fact that all of the teach
ers who rendered their designations
are women who use the prefix Miss
which suggest six early weddings.
though in one or two cases other rea-
sons have been assigned.
The fact that all of the teachers
who would serve again were en-
ployed, speaks we'll for the school con-
ditions of Topeka. Some of these
teachers have grown old in the service
in this city and the majority of them
have taught a number of terms in
the Topeka schools. 1t has been the
policy of the board for years to retain
such teachers as have proven efficient
and not dispose Of them for the pur-
pose of making room for favored ones
and this is the policy which governed
the action of the board at the meeting
yesterday.
The following were the designations
accepted yesterday: Miss Irene Craw-
ford of the English department of
the High school; Miss Alice Dallas,
who taught the Fourth and Fifth
grades at the Grant school; Miss
Gertrude 1serman, manual training
teacher of the Lafayette and Jackson
schools; Miss Ruth Hoaglin of
Sumner school; Miss Mary Anderson
of the Lowman Hill school, and Miss
Florence Kiser, colOred. resigned from
the faculty of the Buchanan school.
According to the recommendation
of the teachers committee, which was
nm a limo o.
Schley. who has been studying at the
University Of Chicago for a year past
will fill her old position in the High
school; Miss Sarah Voolfolk and
Miss Actea Kennedy the vacancies in
the grade department; Miss Myrtle
Mrs. Edith G. Van Dusen in the man
ual training department and Miss
George Watkins in the colored de-
