Is REELECTED PRINCIPAL Or
SCHOOL NO. 1.

In session from until IL o'clock
last night, the new board of public
instruction of this county got fairly
started in the matter of arranging for
the coming scholastic year. A ses-
sion, to start at 10 o'clock this morn
ing and to continue until night, is
probability, for the calandar is heaV-
Ter this year than it has ever been.
New schools are desired and strongly
urged in many sections Of Che county;
the appointment of four-Score teach
ers; the assignment to service of the
same number; the arrangement OF
salaries and terms, etc, are Few OF
the many matters to be considered.
While the meeting was going on last
night, d. j. Hayes, one of the mem
bers from the city, contracted a
splitting headache, but he stayed with
the rest of them until adjournment.
The meeting was called to order BY
the president, F. E. Brawner. A num-
Der of gentlemen with requests con-
corning school matters were present
and each of them were heard.
Supervisor Spoon recommended the
appointment of Miss Sadie Coley for
teacher of school No. at Brent, but
asked for an assistant. The board
declined the request, but will elect
Miss Coley.
Mr. Bowman spoke on the matter
OF moving school No. Is. This was
agreed to.
Mr.. MobIey asked for a new school
six miles west of Bluff Springs. In
this section there are about twenty
five children more than three miles
from the nearest school. The request
was acted on favorably.
The election of ]. s. Watson as su-
pervlsor of school No. 5, at Roberts,
was confirmed. He will be given the
usual privilege Of recommending
teachers there.
Some Recommendation.
Superintendent Cook presented j
number of recommendations, and it
was resolved to take up the paper and
act on it by sections. This will be at
tended to today. The superintendent
recommended that the high school de-
partment OF school No. l be provided
with room elsewhere. This means
grades 9, 10, IL and u. The four
sections of grade were to be trans
ferred into the main building in school
No. 1 and that an additional primary
school be opened in the building here
tofore used by the fOur sections of
grade 5. For the new primary school
which is to have eight teachers, there
were some recommendations. These
were: Miss Annie Mcmillan, princi-
pal, and Miss Olive Andrews, first
assistant, to be in charge of 1 and 2;
and Miss Ethel BTOughtOn and Miss
Sadie Fell, to be in charge of grades
3 and 4.
The superintendent also recon-
mended a school in the northwestern
part of the city. The board, he ex-
planned, owned an acre of land in
that section, which could be eXchang-
ed if possible for other property if
that holding were found undesir-
able.
A number of other matters were
recommended, including teachers. The
board will supervise the paper at to-
days session.
