DR.. Richard Watson Cooper, presi-

been secured to deliver the commence
ment address. The exercises will &C.
cur on Friday evening, June 3.
The senior class has selected lively
comedy in three acts entitled "Out of
Town. for the class play this year.
In spite of the fact that the entire
corps was reelected number of va
cancies in the teaching force will &C.

school principal, has accepted a posi-
ton as head of the mathematics de-
partment of the Interlaken School for
Boys at Laporte, Ind, at salary Of
81, 600 and his board and room. Miss
Anderson, who has taught our mathe-
mates this year, will teach in one of
the Chicago high schools next year.
Miss Westby cannot accept the eighth
grade position because she feels that
she must remain at home with her in
valid mother. Miss Fessenden, of the
third grade, expects to 60 west. Miss
Winifred Barker, supervisor of pen
manship, drawing and sewing, does not
expect to teach next year. All of
these teachers have given perfect sat
isfaction and there is universal regret
that they do not see fit to remain with
us for another year.
On the 2lst and 22nd of April an ex-
hibit will be held in the central build
ing showing samples of work done in
the schools this year. 1t will consist
not only of the best but some of the
poorest and mediocre work. The aim
will be to give fair idea of the aver
age work of the pupils. No particular
preparation has been made other than
to save from time to time samples OF
what has been done. Each grade e
work will be exhibited in it's own room,
except that the South Side work will
be shown in the corresponding room on
the North Side. There are several
reasons for this. In the first place We
want it all together so that we car
compare the work and enable the pat
rons to see the entire exhibit in one
building. Then, too, we want to make
the exhibit absolutely free of charge
and we cannot do this if we take it t.
the Armory or any place where VI
would be required to pay rent. W.
feel that everyone should have the op
portunity of seeing the work done b!
children without paying for the priv
lege. 1t is true that there will be cand!
booths, etc., but admission to tn
building will be free. An admission
will also he charged for an entertain
ment given by the high school Wednes
day, April 81, in the high school room
and for one given by the grade pupil

The former will consist of the cham
