School Commissioners
-- Notes
May L. Stewart. Commissioner

A good time was reported at the
Ironton picnic of May 25th. Ye scribe
is sorry that board meeting and the
duties incident thereto caused her alb
sence at these festivities.
The Hilton school closed May 22nd
also with a picnic. Picnics are very
much in evidence at this time of the
year and always plenty OF good things
to eat. This was another good time
that the commissioner could not attend
this year.
Miss Eunice Liskum is to teach the
Robinson school next year at a salary
OF $58 per month. The school board is
very much interested in the remodeling
of the cloak rooms for better heat and
better sanitation.
Miss Effie Cook will receive $50 per
month next year in the Deer Lake
school,
Hon. j. NJ. Munson delivered the
Commencement address for the County
Normal class Tuesday, June 5th.
Every member of the class has signed
contract for next year. The least
that any will receive is $50 per month,
but the inexperienced teachers all re-
ceive practically the same amount.
All applications for tuition to high
school next year must be made in writ
ing and presented to a member of the
district board before the fourth Monday
in June. The date this year is June
25th so all eighth grade graduates and
all high school students whose homes
are in the country should care for this
now. At the time of the annual meet
ing is too late. Application must be
made every year and the school Off
GERS cannot pay this tuition even if
they wish to unless the parents nave
complied with the law. The fact that
application has been made would not
compel any student to attend if he
wished to change his mind later in the
summer as the tuition is paid only
when demanded by the treasurer or
superintendent of the city district in
which the high school is located. The
safest thing to do in all cases is to
apply for the tuition and care for de-
tails later. Amount of tuition allowed
without special vote is $40.
A prominent company sends the
following letter to the office: "The
government order is to continue to
work in the usual way and thus keep
business norm al. National welfare and
safety demand of all closer coopera-
ton. We are going to do our best 10
keep factory and sales force going.
We are struggling to avoid further
rise in prices. To do this we shall
more than ever need your cooperation.
The Owen Pub. Co., has some new
and very fascinating classics on the
"Story of the Flag"
Miss Jessie Barkley returns to the
Clark school with increased wages.
Miss Florence Meggison gets $3.50
per month raise in the Hilton school.
Miss Esther Benson returns to the
Miles school. Miss Marcia Goss has
signed a contract for the Clinton
school near Boyne Falls. Miss Florence
Maddaugh returns to the Johnson
school with $500 raise.
Misses Norma Johnson and Grace
Meggison will attend State Normal at
Mount Pleasant next year. Many
students plan on attending summer
school but the entire list is not at hand.
The following are few OF our summer
workers: Misses Ruth Dell, Eva
Latham, Emma Knop, Ethel Brintnall,
Marcia Goss, Ida M. Milton, Myra Pool,
Mrs. Thos. Scroggie, Mary Berg, Golda
Jensen, Mayme Scroggie, Clarence
Dewey, Leden Stewart, Jane Nc
Donough, Grace Gallagher and Thos.
Rowe.
The Knop school closed with a picnic
on Friday, June Sth.
Every boy and girl should have a
garden this summer and it would be
best to have that garden on land that
otherwise would have gone to waste.
Have it just as large as can be taken
care of well, raise potatoes or beans,
help the country and do your bit.
Due to the registration of A. T.
Greenman from the Board of Examin-
ers, vacancy occurred on the Board on
June lst. In accordance with the law,
the remaining members of the board of
of examiners together with the Judge
of Probate, filled this vacancy for the
unexpired portion of the term. Miss
Elizabeth Wetmore Of Boyne City re-
ceived the appointment.
