At a regular meeting of the
School Board held in Superin-
tendent Turner's office, Prof. E.
A. Skillman was unanimously re-
elected principal of schools at a
raise in salary Of twenty-five dol
lars per month. That the choice

people, is the universal comment
from all directions. Mr.. Skillman
has proven himself efficient and
worthy in every particular, and
is held in the highest esteem by
everybody. His conduct and ef-
hclency has been above reproach
and the school has never been on
a higher plane. The teachers
who have been retained by the
Recommendations the board for
the next term, are. likewise most
satisfactory, in fact, no term of
school has ever given greater
satisfaction, and full credit is
due to Prof, Skillman and is as
slstants for their untiring efforts
and labor.

Statistics showing how serious

issued by the National Association
for the Study and Prevention OF
Tuberculosis. From reports received
from over 725 churches, with mem
bership of over $4,000 communicates
of twenty denominations, and from
20S cities and towns In II states In
various parts of the country. out OF
nearly 1000 deaths IN 1910 over 700
or 10 per cent were caused by tuberi
culosis. This means 2.24 deaths for
every thousand members or com
municants. While the percentage OF
deaths from tuberculosis compared
with other diseases is no, higher In
the churches, according to these fls
ures. than in the country at large. the
tuberculosis death rate. as shown by
