1t is with much regret that we
announce the resignation of Super
intendent Silyerthorne from the
Logan schools. He has been elect
ed superintendent of the Mt Sterl-
ing schools for term of three
years at an advanced salary, and
in justice to himself and family,
he felt it his duty to accept the
offer. He had guided lhe schools
of thar town for six years prior Ia
coming to Logan and is familiar
with the work and the people, and
they certainly know hls worth to
ask his return for three years more
at $i400 90 per year.
Supt. SilverthOrne and his good
wife have made many friends IN
Logan and all our people regret to
see them leave us. Mr.. Silver
thorne has filed his position ad
mirably and efficiently, and as We
say, we believe we voice the entire
community when we express re,
2ret at his leaving. We certainly
wish him and his most excellent
wife good health and God speed
In their new (old) home.
In filling his place here, the
Board of Education must look
carefully to their choice. Why
not select q superintendent from
our own citizenship; We have ex-
cellsnt material. II. r. Herring
