to the position of primary teacher in
New Salem at a salary of $50 per
month, and Miss HuIda Anderson goes
to oberon as intermediate teacher at
S65 per month.
Miss Inga Olson who went to Fargo
to fill a vacancy which occurred dur
ing the past year was reelected at an
increase of SIS per month This rec
ognition of her teaching is very graft
flying to the school. We knew that
Miss Olson would make good.
Walter Fait, who graduated with us
three years. ago and has been princi-
pal at Taylor during these three years,
has decided to become a candidate for
the position of county superintendent

student and master of his work We
have much confidence in him and are
sure that If elected he will give ex-
cellent service. He, is {. young man of
excellent character and habits and will
be a credit to any school position
which he may hol-. Here is to his
success.
