The rural schools open for the WIN
ter term Monday Nov. 30. AS far as
possible an effort has been made to
retain the same teachers for the year
in school. A few changes, however,
are necessary. These are as follows:
Mrs Della A. Sandford, who has been
on leave of absence for the fall term,
will resume her duties at Dudley's
Corner and Miss Addie Cover, who has
taught the fail term at Dudley's Cor
ner, is transferred to the Snow school,
Miss Daisy Snow, who has taught the
Snow school for the last two years
resigns to enter upon business course
at Morgan's business College, Water
vile. Miss Grace Hutchinson resigns
the Riverside school and is succeeded
by Miss Florence Steele.
The teachers have completed the eye
and ear tests as required by the State
educational department. Much need of
covered. During the present week
through the cooperation of the w. C.
+. U, DR.. Mary Crosswell, physical d.
rector of Colby College, is examining
the worst cases of the schools as re-
ported by the tests made by the teach
ers. 1t is hoped that the work as
started by these examinations will
cause the people to realize the neces-
sity of making an appropriation at the
next annual town meeting which shall
be sufficiently large to insure a thor
ough and scientific medical inspection
of our public schools.
