The Public Schools.

ed on Monday morning with
record enrolment. All the
teachers were on hand to COM
mence work. They have been
selected by the trustees after
investigation and much care,
and it is believed that they will
measure up we'll in comparison
with the teachers in any simi-
lar school. The teachers in the
lower grades, where the foun-
dation work is done, are OF
long experience and they have
met with success in other
places.
In the High School there are
two new teachers. Misses Ma
gill and Brooks. Both of these
young ladies have taught in
other schools doing similar
work to that which has been
assigned them here. In Con-
way Miss Magill taught for
seven years and might have
gone back as long as she de-
sired. Miss Brooks taught in
a large school in Virginia with
much success. With Miss Per-
rim, and thesassistance of Prof.
Cheatham, good work will be
done in the High School this
year.
In the intermediate grades
some of the teachers are re-
cent graduates, but they come
from the several colleges with
good scholarship records. Ex-
perience is not so important
here as in other grades. Some
of the best teachers we have
had in these grades have been
without previous teaching ex-
perience, and we expect Misses
Tenant, Plaxco, Brice and
Dial to measure up to the
standard set by their prede-
cessors.
Prof. Cheatham himself has
done work this summer in Col
umbia University, in order to
better fit himself for his du-
ties with. us. He has shown
that interest in his work which
a growing school emands, and
we believe that we may expect
better things from him than in
the past, and he has given us
a good school always under his
superintendency.
But no school will succeed,
and no teacher will succeed,
without the support and. CO.
operation Of the public, espe-
cially of that part of the pub
lie directly interested in the
welfare of the children in the
school. 1t is easy to oritioise
and find fault, and all of US are
guilty at times Of these, Of
fenses. The cause is often
times in a misunderstanding
of teachers and methods.
There is nothing more import
ant than that the parent get
acquainted with the teacher
and the methods employed.
This not only assists the par
ent in having the child study
along right lines at home but

1t was a triumph for Harry Harper,

the locals had a four-run lead up to
the seventh inning. This was the only
flash the Browns showed, however. for
IN the last three games-twenty-sev
innings-they scored exactly one run
and that was an unearned one in the
game yesterday.
FITTED against Harper was Parks. a
right handler. who in the two innings
he pitched in one of the other games
seemed to be a twirler of some class.
He was hit hard enough yesterday to
give the locals a comparatively easy
victory, while Harper should have had
a shut-out to his credit.
As has been the case in most of the
games played with the Browns, the
Griffmen again got off to a flying start.
Morgan. as usual. walked to begin the
inning and after Marsans had taken
Fosters fly Milan singled to right.
Miller allowed the ball to get away
from him and Morgan scored. while
Milan pulled up at third. from where
he scored when Severoid threw poorly

IN the sixth the locals scored two
more. Milan opened with a hit and
Rondeau sacrificed him to second. Then
Judge came through with long triple

Judge home with a single. Shanks
however. was out when he tried to
take third on Henry's single to left
which Shotton fumbled for an instant
but recovered in time to get the ball tc
