PROF. RANSkE
TO RESIGN
Has Been Elected Superinten-
dent of the LewistoWn
High School,

Professor Franskc has been noti-
fed of his election as superinten-
dent of the LsWistown high school.
The competition for this position
was very keen, and over fifty had
in applications. The hoard spent
nearly two weeks in examining
same and eliminating those that
were not looked ON with favor,
They rejected all but five then
vote was taken and Prof. Franske
was the unanimous choice.
We are very sorry to lose Prof.
Franske from our schools here, as
he has made many friends in his
short stay and has made reputa-
tion as superintendent that we don't
expect anyone to surpass for some
time. We must not be selfish in
this, and while we regret to see
him leave here, our loss is his gain.
fle will receive a much larger sal
ary and have charge of high
school with about two hundred
pupils.
