an opportunity to make preliminary
survey of the field and note the con-

Prof. c. e. Humphrey Is Elected.
The members of the Denison school
board held special meeting at Sec
w. c. Rollins Office last Saturday
morning for the purpose of filling the
vacancy caused by the late resignation
OF Prof. e. w. Fellows. 1t was unani
mousiy decided to place c. E. Hum
phrey a. the head OF the Denison
schools for the coming year.
Professor Humphrey has been prin
cipal of the high school since 1905
with the exception of one year. 1910
when he attended the State University
of Iowa. During his long tenure OF
Office he has become familiar with the
conditions at this place and no better
selection could have been made by
the board than the selection of Pro
fessor Humphrey. He is young man
who has devoted much time to school
work and is especially we'll liked,
both by parents and scholars. He
has always taken great interest in the
athletic sports of the high school and
in this way has endeared himself to
the students. This year, through his
efforts, the boys were taken down 10
Iowa City to enter the state meet Pro
fessor Humphrey has always been
active in church affairs, being mem,
Der of the NJ. E. church choir.
We feel confident that the high
standard of the Denison schools will
be maintained under the supervision
of Supt. Charles E. Humphrey
