added to this department the coming

Grade Teachers.
One of the greatest problems in pub
Ilic school work is how to meet the
question Of retarded and backward pu-
pills. During the school year a num-
Der Of pupils become i'll or are absent
for one reason or another, so that they
lose from two to six weeks Of work
and thus fall behind in their grade. In
order to meet such emergencies the
Board Of Education has secured
a special teacher for backward or re-
tarded pupils. This takes teacher of
unusually broad experience, but the
position has been filled by the election
of Miss Nina M. Lanvick, who is a
graduate of the Moorhead Normal
school and has had about ten years
experience in some of the best schools
of Minnesota. She taught at Henning,
Montevideo, Aitken and Thief River
Falls, Mimi, for number of years
and comes unusually we'll recommend
ed for such an important position.
During the past year she has had
charge of the Normal Training de-
partment of the public schools of
Thief River Falls, where she gave the
best of satisfaction, but Minot agreed
to pay her more than Thief River
Falls could pay and so she will begin
work here with the opening Of school.

The eighth grade in the high school
building will be in charge of Miss Har-

special work in the Iowa State Teach
ers' College. Miss Cavett has had
wide experience in teaching in North
Dakota cities, among these are her
home town of Enderlin, Wimbledon,
Sheldon and Larimore, N. Oak. The
eighth grade is one of the most impor-
tant in the schools and Miss Cavett
will undoubtedly show the result of
her broad experience.

| by Miss Ada B. Young of Minneapolis,
Mimi, who is graduate of the South
