SENT FINE APPEARANCE.
Mlss Carrie Dean Succeeds Miss Bes-
sic Carver as Teacher Of
sixth Grade.

Several patrons have visited the
school the past week. Others would
End It very much to their edifcatior
and enjoyment to do so Let those
who visit the grades ask to see the
work that Is kept for exhibition.
The Junior Literary Society held
les FIRST regular mseting Wednesday
afternoon. with George Moseley pre-
siding and Louise Parker as secretary.
When It Is considered that many Of
those taking part had never bad any
experience In exercises Of this kind,
the program was well rendered. Not
withdrawing the fact that there were
knocking together Of knees, twitching
at trousers, and other nervous things
that inexperienced debaters are Civ
en- to doing, the debate was the best
thing on the program.
The sympathy Of the entire faculty
and student body goes out to Miss
Bessie Carver. who was forced this
week on account OF failing health to
resign her position as teacher Of the
sixth grade. No teacher In the school
was more popular with her pupils.
Miss Carver possesses to reasonable
degree the rare faculty OF gaining the
admiration Of her pupils. She does
not get their good will by pettlng, hu.
moflng. or indulging. Although she
IL very firm. sometimes severe. her
pupils almost idolize her. It is the
earnest desire OF the faculty and stu
dents that she may soon recover and
be able 20 resume her place In the
faculty At the beginning Of another
session.
Miss Carrie Dean has been appoint
ed to the place made vacant by Miss
Caryer's resignation. The school IS
indeed fortunate in being able to Sc
cure a teacher OF Miss Deans ability
