Holbrook Schools Ohen


 The Holbrook public schools opened last Monday morning with an enrolment of no. This number will be considerably in- creased before the end of the month by the entrance of num- Der of pupils who are expected to return soon.
 Prof. J. F. Kemp is principal of the schools, and he IS assisted by Mrs. Kemp. temporarily in charge of the intermediate grade, and Miss Irene Milestone, tea cher in the primary department of the north side school. Miss Norah Traitor is in charge of the south side school, the enroll ment in the school being 31.
 Prof. Kemp has two pupils who desire to take tenth grade work, and it is his intention to teach the ninth and tenth grades, provided he can overcome the difficulties nov m the way of do- ing so.
 The chief thing in the way is lack of room. To put on the work in the upper grades an ad- ditional room must be secured; !; also another teacher. An effort may be made to secure room in one of the churches; failing in thls, it may be possible to secure the court room. While the sea- son is late for securing another teacher. it will probably be pos sible to do so.
 Prof. T. C. Hilliard, who was employed to teach the intermedi- ate department. did not appear to accept the position, and MT. Flanagan, member or the school board. has been unable to locate him. It is not known whether he failed to receive a notice of the date of opening of the schools, or has decided that he does not wish the position. His failure to come or to notify the board tbat he does not want the. place would have muddled things considerably had it not been for the fact that Mrs. Kemp. who is a competent teacher, was willing to take temporary charge of the department.
