Some Changes In Dickinson
Schools Misses Gebeler and
Gallagher Resign-One or
Two Additional Teachers.
The school board for the Dickinson
school district has selected majority
Of the teachers for the coming year.
While all the old teachers were given
re-election, it is expected that there
will be several vacancies caused by
changes of location or resignation.
Owing to an increase in the number
Of pupils the coming year. some changes
have already been made and others will
be necessary. There will be two third
grades instead of one as at present and
the new school will be given Miss Vieva
Walster, who has been teaching on the
South Side but who has just taken the
place of Miss Edith McDuffee, resigned.
It is expected that new fourth or
fifth Grade will be necessary. At pres
ent there is one fourth and one fifth and
one school where the work of both is
taught. The change will make two of
each.
If manual training and domestic
science are introduced as recommended
by the state hiah school board these will
require still two more teachers, making
four in all.
The great problem is where to put all
these additional teachers. Every avail
able room in the high school building is
at presen to coupled and most of the rooms
are over crowded and far from satisfac-
tory. One teacher at least will be with
out any quarters and probably two while
possibly four teachers will be quarter
less. 1t means that something must be
done at once to remedy the situation.
ca the South Side only two teachers
have been provided for next year but
if the attendance warrants anothe,
teacher will be added. There are three
rooms in the building and it does NOT
seem likely that the school will be over
crowded.
The new teacher elected is Miss Ida
NJ Odeers in the 5th grade, who comes
from Ely. Mimi. where she has been
teaching several years. She is grad
uate Of Minnesota normal school.
The following is list of the teachers
elected, their grades. salaries and the
