| The public schools of the city of
Brookings for the coming year, which
begins reXt Monday, will have as COM
petent a corps of teachers as it has
ever been our privilege to have gath
cred together in our city. The board
of education has used a wide discre-
ton in its selections and each one
of the new members of the teaching
staff comes with the very highest
recommendations OF the twenty-five,
ten are new to us, three being from
this state, five from Minnesota, one
from Iowa and one from Michigan.
Miss Ruth Hill, formerly principal of
the high school, does not come back
on account of personal illness and
sickness in the family and Miss Jen-
nings goes to indianapolis.
A new course, English scientific,
has been added to the high school
and is the same as German scientific,
with the substitution of advanced
! English grammar and bookkeeping in
place Of German. So that now the
school boasts Of three scientific cours-
es. Only one change has been made
in textbooks. Steps in English be-
ing substituted for Scott & South
brooks "LesEons in English" Ex-
changes for these books may be made
at Tidb2ll's pharmacy, Book No. 1
and twenty-five cents and Book No.
and thirty-nine cents of the old
for the new ones. In the third grade
book known as Language Through
Literature and Art" which is being
used in some of the other grades, has
been added to the work, but no new
books are to be purchased until after
consultation with the teacher.
All pupils who enter the high school
from out of the city will be required
to present diplomas from the eighth
grade. There will be only one enter
ing class in the primary this year, and
,all parents are requested to send
pupils that will be of school age this
coming year, at the commencement OF
the first term. There will be no pri
mary class formed in January as has
been customary in the past
The new building will be occupied
