commended. She is a graduate OF
| the Missouri Valley, College, at
| Marshall, Mo. A.
| Miss Chastain is daughter of
DR. and Mrs. E. N. Chastain Of this
city. She is graduate Of the
Butler High School and also Of the
State University. For the past
! year she has been an instructor in
the University.
The following positions are
still open:
High School Principal.
Music and Drawing.
Owing to the increased enroll
ment in the High School it will be
necessary to employ an additional
teacher as some Of the classes are
getting too large for efficient
work.
| Butler has a standing among
schools Of the state that our citi-
zens may we'll be proud Of. For
three years our High School has
been recognized by the North
Central Association of Colleges
and Secondary Schools. This Or
ganization covers practically the
entire U. S. and is made up by
our leading Colleges. Our High
School graduates are admitted to
all schools of this association
without farther examinations. The
Teachers Training and the Com
mercial Departments have been
added to meet the demands Of
such students as desire to at once
begin to earn a livelihood on the
completion Of course in our
schools. Our schools should al
ways be practical and disable.
Our Grade Schools have not
been overlooked. The introduce
ton Of the Teachers Training
course presupposed the idea that
our grade teachers should conduct
model recitations for that depart
ment. They are in fact part Of
that department. With that end
in view a wage schedule was
adopted seeking to regulate the
wages in the grades on a merit
and qualification basis. It has
worked no hardship on any one
and how we'll it has succeeded in /
raising the standard Of our teach
ing force and how tenaciously it
has been adhered to in the en-
ploymentsQf teachers is shown by
the fact that every grade teacher
employed in our schools fully
meet the requirements as set forth
in the following letter just re-
ceived from the State Superin-
tendent: Il
jefferson City, April II, 1916. {
