Some New Instructors in the High
School and Two New Departments
Have Been Added.

Inc PUBIC ScnOOl OF the city are
now ready to open their fall term on
September 1st. The date of the open
ing was set somewhat earlier this year
than usual in order that two weeks
vacation might be given at Christ
mas time and another week in the
spring without having to continue the
term any later than necessary in the
spring.
The full teaching corps has been
secured and most of the teachers are
already on hand making preparations
for new lines of work and outlining
their courses. The faculty in the
high school will in large part be a
new one, vacancies having been filled
in the departments of English, math-
ematics, domestic science, music, his
tory and manual training. In addition
to vacancies calling for new teachers
two new departments have been Great
ed and new instructors secured for
each.

pointed members of the high school
faculty: In English, Miss Bradbury,
graduate of the University of Ne
braska; in mathematics, Miss Ida
Yates, graduate of Iowa College;

Salaries Raised.
The salaries in the high school have
been materially increased, ranging
now from $S5 to $100 whereas mere
.ofore they have run from $75 to $85.
The raise was deemed necessary in
order to retain some of the instruc
.ors who are wanted by larger institu-
ions. Many of those who resigned
his year did so only because the sal
lries offered here were not sufficiently
arge to hold them when they were
endered positions elsewhere.

rving schools the only new instruc-
or is Miss Elva Gray, graduate of
State College. The other
