Tonopah daily bonanza. [volume] (Tonopah, Nev.) 1906-1929, 1915-09-03

Tuesday, September T. with corps |
of teachers carefully selected and
ready to devote their energies to Civ
ing Tonopah system of schools sec
ond to none.
In the selection of teachers for the
high school care has been used to
choose such as are specially trained
for the subjects they are to teach
and who, in addition, are each inter
ested in some of the various school
activities that lend so much interest
to the work of the schools In this
| way we hope to offer to the young
people of Tonopah any and all the ad
vantages offered by any city high
school, with the added advantage of
personal help from teachers possible
only in the smaller high schools.
/ The science department in the To
nopah high school is unusually com
plete Mr. Walter Anderson will
again have charge of this department
and those acquainted with his univer-
sity training and his experience in
teaching science know that the
science work in our high school will
be excelled nowhere. Mr. Anderson,
being relieved of the work in mathe-
MATES, will be able to devote more
time to his speciality than was pos
sible last year.
Miss Frances Hickok of the Univer-
sity of Michigan, will have charge of
the English and history, Miss Hiekok
has the honor of being the first and
only woman ever chosen to represent
the University of Michigan in an inter
collegiate oratorical eontest-a con
test which was won for her college by
Miss Hickok. She will have immedi-
ate charge of the work in public
speaking-debate, dramatics, etc.
and the Tonopah high school will be
heard from along these lines before
the end of the year Miss Hickok
was recently rendered a position in
the Kansas state normal school, the
second largest state normal in the
country, but did not accept because
of her promise to come to Tonopah,
Miss Agnes Jewett of the Univer
sity of California comes to us from
the high school at Sebastopol, Cal, to
take charge of the classes in Latin,
German and Spanish Miss Jewett is
a member of the Phi Beta Kappa,
Greek letter society which grants
membership only for excellent schol
arship Judging from her reeommen
dations she will prove herself yalu
able addition to the high school facu-
"
To have charge of the mathematics
and athletics we have been fortu-
nate enough, through the assistance
of President Hendriek of the Uniyer-
sity of Nevada, to secure the services
of Mr.. Tom p Walker While in the
university Mr.. Walker was interested
not only in athletics but in the uni
versity band, glee club, and dramatic
a organizations. Tonopah people may
remember his visits here with the
: university glee club.
4 The commercial department, which
: offers complete four-year course
will be under Mrs. Maud Coulter
well known to the people of Tonopah
Her extensive practical experience
\ in office work, coupled with her Ne
/, vada university training for the worl
Q of teacher and her experience as {
: teacher, will enable her to give oul
young people just the training neees
: sary to fit them for real work.
