SCHOOL FACULTY EMPLOYED

The following teachers will compose the faculty for the Green Forest public school this year: Principal, Prof. J. P. Pellill; Eighth grade, Prof. L. B. Me Ginnis; Sixth and Seventh grades, Miss Kate Rhodes; Fourth and Fifth, Miss Mabel Galloway; Second and Third, Miss Dollie Watkins; First grade, Mrs. Essie Stevens. The school board con siders they are fortunate in securing such a strong faculty, and assures us this will be the best school year Green Forest has ever enjoyed.
 It goes without saying Prof. Perrill ranks among the best teachers of the state, and a second term places him in a position to better understand condi- tions, makes him know his pupils bet ter, and gives him better insight of the needs generally.
 A. J. Tabor, president of the school board, informs us Prof. McGlnnis is a teacher of extra high standing and was last year Principal of the public school at Cave Springs, Ark
 Misses Kate Rhodes and Mabel Galloway are products of the Green Forest High school. Each have taken a special course for teachers this sum- mer. Miss Kate at the State Univer- sity and Miss Mabel at the Springfield Normal.
 Mrs. Stevens is also product of the Green Forest school and has had several years of successful teaching.
 Miss Watkins comes from Harrison and will no doubt prove herself worthy of the place entrusted to her.

 It was the wish of the committee who have charge of the collection of the fund for the Prof. Burney monu. ment to close up same this week, but owing to the fact that a number of those who signed notes payable Sept. 1st, 1916, have as yet failed to do so, and as it is thot the notes were given in good faith little more time will be given. All who wish to be represent. ed in this laudable cause please do SC by August 1st. Call at Seitz's store and pay your amount, and get credit. We will publish the list in two weeks.

 The school board urges patrons te comply with the order to have all chil. dre. vaccinated in time to be ready fol work in the coming term which promises to be one of the best ever taught in the Green Forest district. The order tc vaccinate is not a personal desire of the board but is pressed down upon then by the county health officer who is ap. pointed by the state board of health al Little Rock, and the purpose is for the safe guarding the health of our children It is a finable offense not to comply with this order, and no child or teacher will be permitted to be in school who has not been successfully vaccinated
