CHANGES IN THE DEPARTMENTS
AN ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION HAS
BEEN FORMED BY THE PU-
Pills IN THE COUNTY HIGH
SCHOOL.

The public schools of this region
opened Tuesday under unusually
favorable conditions and promise
well for an excellent year in educa-
tional work. Many of the former
teachers are back at their posts after
having spent profitable and pleasant
vacations, and the enrolment at the
beginning of the term has exceeded
in numbers that of any former year.
None of the men employed as teach
ers and principals have taught in
Nevada before this year. but all of
them come with the best of recon-
mendations, and have taken hold of
their work in manner which indi-
Gates that they are fully competent
to successfully fill the positions they
hold
Miss Maud Gates, who is entering
upon the fourth year of work as a
teacher in East Ely schools. is now
principal, and is ably assisted by Mrs.
Helen R. Slichter in the high school.
Miss Loretto Duddleson in the inter-
mediate department, and Miss
Esther Rumbaugh in the primary de-
partment. At Ely Miss Matte In
goldsby is principal and is assisted by
Miss Mary Black in the intermediate
department, Miss Doty Upton in the
second primary department, and Miss
Kate Graham in the first primary de-
partment. At McGill George Erwin
is principal and is assisted by Miss
Eleanor Carr as vice principal. Miss
Adelaide Callahan in the fourth and
fifth grades. Miss Jennie Cook In the
third grade, Miss Russ in the second
grade. and Miss Allen in the first
grade.
The county high. school opened
Tuesday with an enrolment of 33
pupils. Bernard Street is principal
of the high school and is assisted by
George A. Whiteley and Miss Grace
M. Fairchild. 1t is probable that
special teachers will also be employ
ed for manual training and CONNER
cial subjects, as there seems to be q
strong demand for each of these de-
partments this fall. The furniture

school was late in arriving so the
rooms were not in good condition
this week, but school has been held
each day and it is hoped to have
everything in readiness for next Mon
day. There has been some difficulty
in getting a sufficient supply of high
school books this year, but enough
have been ordered and are now ON
the way to Ely.
The county high school has organ
lied an athletic association with
Waldo Duddleson as president and
Miss Frances Meyers as secretary
and treasurer. While there does not
seem to be strong aggregation for
football, there is ample material for
basket ball teams, and the organiza-
tion of team of boys and a team of
girls will probably be made In the
near future. The instructors have
all had considerable experience In
athletics and will be able to work out
the best results along these lines.
The instructors are also qualified
musicians and with the assistance OF
Miss Rumbaugh will be able to do
some excellent work In music this
year.
Miss Lucy Rumbaugh has been en-
, gagged to teach vocal music In the
school In East Ely. Ely. and McGin
and in the county high school. This
is very valuable addition to the in
struction that has heretofore been
given in the schools of this vicinity.
