fall term on the morning Of Tuesday,
| September o. according to an announce
ment made yesterday by the superin-
ttendent and the school commissioners.
Sessions will be resumed a day later in
the week than usual on account of
/ new arrangement which is hoped to
prove of direct benefit to the teachers
who will take up the work in the diff
ferent departments. 1t is planned to
reserve the Monday prior to the opening
for teachers meeting to be held in
the chapel at Spaulding high school I
I3 o'clock in the afternoon. At that
time all of the teachers, including the
high school faculty and superintendent,
will get together for an informal discus
sion of the policies to be pursued during
the year. 1t is expected that every
teacher now engaged by the city will be
present at the meeting.
| On the teaching stat this year there
are eleven new names, changes having
| been made necessary by designations an
nounced at the close of the last school
year. Since the list was published last
| June, there have been three additional
designations, and the places have been
| filled in each case. In the fifth and
sixth grades, Beckley street, Miss Laura
McAllister rendered her resignation on
receiving an appointment as post-mis-
tress in her home town, Waitstield. The
vacancy in the third and fourth grades,
Ayers street school. caused by the res
| gnation of Miss Celia Corbett, who was
recently married, is to be filed by Miss
Emma L. Bean Of Newport, graduate,
of the johnson Normal school. Miss
Maude Abbott of Royalton, until recent
| ly teacher in the eighth grade at the
Mathewson building, has resigned to ac-
cept a position in Maiden, Mass, and
her place is to be filled by Miss Sadie
A. Boyee of Williamstown, a graduate
of Montpelier seminary, who has had an
experience of several years in teaching.
Indications now point to the largest
high school enrolment in the history of
the city's school system. Indeed. the
superintendent is arranging to accom-
modate $50 pupils, with provisions for
few more. Several new faces will be
seen on the high school faculty this year.

state provides. II is planned to enroll
/ twelve or fifteen students, who viii have
their class room at the Lincoln building

Spaulding high school is one of the first
class secondary schools which the state
board Of education has recognized as a
seat for one of the training courses,
which are established for the express
purpose of training teachers for rural
work. All of the students will have
ample opportunity for practical work at
the Lincoln school.
! The growing enrolment at Spaulding
has made necessary several changes on
the ground floor of the building during
! the present summer The north tower
of the structure has been converted into
an office, an alteration which fills long
4 felt want. The north end of the main
corridor has been finished into q room
/ for the typewriter classes and is con-
venientlv connected with the CONNER
! cial class headquarters. One OF the
rooms devoted last year to grade work
| has been divided into two sections, each
of which viii be used for recitation pur-
poses. Still another grade has been
! transferred elsewhere and the room
given over to high school purposes.
Minor changes include the construction
! of roomy supply cupboard along one
/ of the east corridors of the first floor.
