FACULTY CHOSEN
FOR HIGH SCHOOL
Churchill County Board of Educa-
ton Complete Selection of
Teachers Last Week.

Dr. c. M. Gardner, president, A.
d. Drumm, clerk, and F. G. Hough,
constituting the Churchill County
Board of Education, met Wednesday
evening for the purpose of holding
an election to complete the High
School faculty for the coming term.
Selections we're made for the entire
teaching corps with the exception of
the principal, Mr.. J. r. McKillop,
late of Lovelock, having been elect
ed to that position about two months
ago. With this exception the men,
bers of the present teaching staff
were reelected to their positions as
follows:
Miss Earnestine Sweet, history
and languages; Miss Mildred Cation,
commercial department.; Mr.. p. f.
Conser, science and mathematics.
In addition to the above, Sc ections
of two additional teachers were
made-a young woman TO instruct
in domestic science and arts, and a
man to teach agriculture and man
ual training. The names and quail
fications of those chosen for these
positions will be made public as soon
as their acceptances are received.
The boards action was taken after
careful investigation of the work
and general fitness of the various ap-
plicants. The present standing of
our high school in a number of its
departments of instruction is very
high. and has been favorably COM
pared with other of the best and
largest schools in the state.
In the selection of the above
named teachers the Board believes,
from thorough investigation and ex-
pert opinion of prominent state edu-
Gators, that the personnel of the
Churchill County High School will
compare favorably with that of any
other in the state.
While somewhat lacking in facili-
ties in some departments, notably in
the commercial department at pres
ent, the necessary equipment viii be
furnished for use during the coming
term. The plan of cooperating with
the grammar grades in establishing
courses in domestic science manual
training and agricultural viii have
to be abandoned by reason of lack
of funds in District No. A. How
ever, funds are available for finish
ing the basement of the Oats Park
school and equipping il for domestic
science and manual training. 1t is

new department in the high school,

there and except for the arrange
ment to use this part of the
Oats Park school it would be impos-
sible to introduce these new and val
liable courses during the coming
term.
Even with this additional space
our school will be much crowded
during the coming term when the
attendance is expected to exceed 100,
which will make it either tie second
or third latest high school in the
state. In point of buildings and
equipment, however our school
rank near the bottom of the list.
