been received. The same situation
existed in regard to Mr.. Myron d.
Miller who wrote Principal G. II
Winans that he had accepted a posi-.
| ton on the Bowling Green high school
last Friday. The formal designations
of both of these men viii probably be

| that no sessions of school will be held
until the customary day Of opening
which falls this year on Tuesday. Sept
