HAS HAD LONG EXPERIENCE
Was Former superintendent of Schools
of the Government in the Philippine
Islands Comes Here Highly Recon-
mended.

NooASo ~ 1I0up6f OI OHdnpdISH,
H., an educator of more than ten years
experience, seven years of which have
been spent in supervisory work, is to
succeed Oliver S. Thompson as princi-
pal of the Kenosha high school, as at a
joint meeting Of the committee on
teachers and the committee on high
school held at the office of Superin-
tendent Mary D.. Bradford following
the commencement exercises on Friday
the superintendent was instructed to
telegraph Mr.. Temper that he had been
selected for the position. Immediate
action on the application Of Mr.. Trem-
per was necessary as he had been of
fered the position of superintendent of
schools at Cairo, ILL.,, and he was forced
to give an answer in regard to the ac-
ceptance of this position.
Prof. Tremper had been in Kenosha
and had met many of the members of
the board of education and the action
of the committee was unanimous not
withstanding the fact that more than
forty applications for the position had
been filed with the members of the
committee and the superintendent.
1t is thought that the employment
of Mr.. Tremper in this position will
do much to strengthen the teaching
force of the high school. The new prin-
cipal is man who has had wide ex-
perience as a teacher and the greater
part of his work has been spent in
supervision of high schools in this and
other countries. mir. Tremper was grad
uated from the University of Michigan
as member Of the class of 1901 with
high honors. He then went to Cincin-
| Dati where he was instrumental in the
erection of the College Hill High school
one of ne largest schools in that city
and he remained as principal of this
school for five years. He also served
for term as principal of the high
school at Franklin, Ind. Later he was
appointed as supervisor of the govern
ment schools in the Philippine Islands
and he held this position for a term of
three years. For the past two years he
had been at the Academy of the Uni
versity of Illinois at Urbana A short
time ago the legislature of Illinois re-
fused to make an appropriation for the
continuance Of the academy and all the
teachers were released. Previous to
this Mr.. Tremper had been elected for
a new term.
Principal Tremper is the second
teacher that Kenosha has secured as a
result Of the action of the Illinois leg
islature as Prof. Langmas, who comes to
take charge of the commercial depart
ment of the high school is also one of
the former teachers in this institution.
The recommendation Of Mr.. Tremper
coupled with his personal appearance
made a distinct hit with the members
of the school board.
The committees have agreed to es-
tablish musical department. in the
Kenosha schools with the opening of
the new year and Superintendent Brad
ford and the members Of the committee
on teachers and high school are now
looking for some one to take this posi-
ton. Mrs. Bradford insists that if
music is installed in the school that a
high grade supervisor be secured and
to this end the committee will take
plenty of time and get the best posi-
BILE teacher to head this new depart
ment.
