BOARD HIRES TEACHERS
Several Changes in Grade School
Faculty Next Year. Prof. Fuller
is Retained.

There will be several changes in
the personnel of the Meridian grade
school faculty next year, due TO the
fact that some of the present teach
ers, having other work in view, did
not apply for their positions again.
The board of trustees at a recent
meeting retained Prof. A. w. Fuller
as principal and Miss Hattie Hawley
as his assistant Other grade teach
ers hired were Misses Evelyn Nelson,
Nellie Orr, Blanch Clark, Zena Ly-
ons and Mrs. Mae Adams. These Will
later be assigned to ther respective
grades by Principal Fuller.
Miss Blanch Hedges did not apply
for her position here again as she de-
sires to spend the next year In col
lege. Miss Newlan, one of the grade
instructors this year, aspires to high
school teaching next year. Both have
made excellent records In the Merid-
ian schools.
Miss Loder, instructor in music in
both the grade and the rural high
school and one of the most popular
and efficient teachers the local
schools have had, did not apply for
her place again, much to the regret
of trustees, patrons and pupils. This
vacancy will be filled later and it is
planned to have the instructor in
music attend to this branch in both
schools
The board has hired one less teach
er for next year than it has now, and

The following statement, sketch of
his activities and announcement of
his candidacy, appeared in the Parma
Review of the 27th of April:
Fred h. Fisk, who in this issue of
the Review announces his candidacy
for the nomination for the office of
state treasurer ON the Republican
ticket,is one of the strongest leaders
in the party in Idaho to-day. Known
throughout the state by voters of all
parties as a man of many financial
interests in which he has been uni
formly successful, he comes before
the people offering for the use of the
state those qualities which have con-
tributed to his own prosperity and
which are necessary adjuncts to the
mental equipment of one seeking to
bring the Office of state treasurer to
its highest efficiency.
Mr.. Fisk, who came to Idaho from
Illinois Is years ago, enters the po-
litical arena this fall not as an un-
tried candidate, but one who has SER
we'd his party and state continuously
and with marked success. In direct
| ly Republican party affairs he has
been a moving factor. He has atten-
ded every Republican state conven-
tion since his arrival in the state and
was a delegate to the Republican
national convention in 1912. As
Canyon county representative on the
state central Republican committee
he served for eight consecutive
years.
In 1909 he received from Governor
Brady, unsolicited, the appointment
as commissioner from Idaho to the
Alaska exposition at Seattle.
His management of the duties of
that position may be used as reli-
able indication of his fitness for the
office of state treasurer. At the close
of the exposition the commissioners
turned approximately $500 hack into
the states treasury, an almost un-
precedented accomplishment for an
exposition commission.
In the conduct of county affairs
Mr.. Fisk has always taken an active
interest, serving as chairman of the
board of county commissioners dur
ing his tenure of office. He has given
freely of his time and business acu-
men in serving for many years on
the Parma school board and the vii
lage board of trustees. Since the or
ganization of the Parma State Bank
in 1908, he has been vice-president
of the institution which is unexcelled
in its class.
Our candidate is moving factor in
the business, political and religious
life of the state as of Parma. and or
every question of public advance
men and uplift he is found on the
right side. Since coming to Idaho
Mr.. Fisk has made his home in Par.
ma and is bound to Idaho by every

that the demand for cheese was SO
great that he could not get ahead
more than the product of about four
days at any time.
Not far from him is the Long
Brothers's Jersey farm, where the
finest bunch of Jerseys / ever saw is
assembled, the original stock having
5een brought from the Isle of Jer-
sey. The trade now gives this farm

ers there were experimenting with

find that last year this crop yielded

the farmers of that section. And
this is one subject that one could
write a volume on In comparing to-
20 years ago"
Mr.. French advises that north Idaho
is very prosperous and pushing right
ahead.

Speaking of his candidacy for con
