Among the new teachers, Miss
Annie Glanville, an honor graduate

1909. is well known to Central people
and needs no introduction. Miss Susi
Richards received her education and
training in the Iowa State Normal
School, teaching for four years in the
schools Of Iowa before coming to
Colorado. Her work during the past
three years at Bald Mountain has
been eminently satisfactory to the
people there and no doubt her wide
experience and training will achieve
like results in the Central schools.
Miss Richards has Iowa state and
Colorado county certificates.
Chas. Brown was promoted from
the principalship OF the Holbrook
school to the principalship Of the
Swink, Colorado schools serving there
for several years. Last spring he
closed the Russell schools in a very
successful manner and was elected
principal Of the Clark school in Cent
raj. Principal Brown is not only a

their social life and their sports.

Miss Lola Turner was graduated
from the Colorado State University
in 1904. Miss Turner has had seven
years experience as a teacher, five
years as a teacher Of English and
History. Her four years at Berthoud
high school have given her a state
wide reputation as teacher Of Eng
lish and History and 1t Is confident
ly believed that she will raise the
standard Of the English work In the
Central schools.
1t will be noted that the name Of
the new commercial teacher Is miss
ing. The Union High school commit
tee after carefully canvasing the
situation decided that the districts
comprising the Union high school
district were not financially able to
justify the committee In installing
the commercial course this year. The
superintendent has revised the pre-.
sent high school course in such
way as to offer some preparation for
comes that 1t may be installed.
Glasses will be organized under the
regular teachers this year in advanc-
ed English grammer or business Eng.
lish, Commercial arithmetic, political
economy. and possibly Commercial
Geography. These subjects will not
only be a preparation for the pros.
pective business course but will be
a valuable addition to the regular
high school course. A class in psy.
chology will be organized during the
last half Of the year for the benefit
of students preparing to teach. This
with the commercial branches will
afford the nucelus for a teachers re.
view course.
The high school attendance last
year was the largest in the history
of Gilpin county and every indica.
ton points to an increase Of fully
20 per cent this year. With a strong
faculty and an increased attendance
1t should be not only the largest but
the best school the district has had
for many years.

aminations to remove conditions for

intendent's office in the Hale build.
