Miss Francis Everett
Teaches at Pipestone
Favorite Redwood Falls Teacher
Shown Signal Honor By Four
Successive Appointments

Miss Francis Everett began work
yesterday as instructor in Primary
Methods, Reading and Art in the
County Training School at Pipestone.
This is the fourth summer in sue
cession that Miss Everett has been
called to teach in the summer schools
in the various counties throughout the
state. This in itself shows that Miss
Everett's work as an instructor is
much appreciated by the state educa-
tors, for it is seldom that any one re-
ceives this appointment for even two
years in succession.
Miss Everett has taught in the pub
lie schools of Redwood Falls for the
past twenty years, and resigned her
position here this spring to accept one
in Seattle, where she was elected to
do primary work. The salary accom-
panying her new appointment is de-
cided increase over the one she re-
ceived here.
While Redwood Falls is sorry to
lose Miss Everett, we can not help
knowing that she goes to city that
offers great opportunities of growth
to woman of her ability. The peo-
pie of the community as unit are ex-
ceedingly loathe to have Miss Everett
give up her work here as one of our
corps of teachers. She is considered
by all who know of her work as one
of the strongest primary teachers in
the state She viii be greatly missed
in church and social circles as well as
educationally.
At the close of summer school Miss
Everett returns to Redwood Falls for
. short visit before leaving with her
mother for Seattle.
