HIGH SCHOOL

GRADES IN. CENTRAL. SCHOOL
TO COMMENCE WORK ON
MONDAY, SEPT. II.

MONDAY, SEPT. II.
AT meeting of the board of
education held Tuesday evening it was
decided to defer opening of the high
school and junior high until Oct. 1st.
IN order that the larger pupils NAV be
permitted to assist in fall farm work.
lhls will apply to the seventh and
eighth grades, as we'll as the high
school proper.
The grades at the central school
Will commence the years work on
Sept. II. In order to make the school
year end at the same time for the
grades and the high school it is pro-
posed to take vacation in January of
about three weeks for the Central
school. This plan commends itself for
several reasons. The teachers would
be given an opportunity of about
months rest during the middle of the
school year, including the regular
Christmas vacation; the little tots
OF the lower grades would be spared
the hardships Of school attendance
during the most severe part of the
winter, and the saving in fuel bill
will be considerable, as it will be un-
necessary to heat the building dur
ing that period.
The entire teaching faculty for the
year has now been completed. Fol-
lowing is the complete list and the
subjects taught:
l.. H. Darling, Superintendent.
Ruth E. Underwood, Prin. Senior
H. S.

This list includes a number of new
teachers.
Mr.. Neulen will need no intro
duction to Bottineau citizen as his
success and popularity as Supt. Of
Carbury schools is we'll known here.
He will have charge of the music in
the high school, including the orches-
ira, and it is needless to say the high
standard of the past will be fully
maintained.
Miss Mcintosh comes from Willow
City schools, where her success
brought an offer of an exceptional ad-
vance in salary, but she consented to
come to Bottineau that she might be
with her parents.
Glen Holcomb is graduate of the
Four years course in Minot Normal
and comes with very high recon-
mendation from the faculty of that
institution. In addition to the manual
training he will teach physiology,
geography and penmanship and spell
ling in the J. H. S.
! Hilda Vivian and Edith johnson are
bith graduates Of the advanced course
Of the Minot Normal; both have had
lexperience in teaching and come very
highly recommended
Miss Sutterlin comes here from the
Kramer schools. She has made spe-
Icial preparation for her grade and her
success last year was very pronounc-
ed. Her home is in St. Johns, N. D.
| Miss Hogy will have charge Of the
music in Central School. Her ability
as teacher may be inferred from the
fact that she was selected to fill a
vacancy in the force of Critic
teachers during this summers session
at Minot.
Miss Peterson has taught the past
four years in Rushville, MINI. Her
credentials are Of the very highest.
One member of the Board writes:

ever had"
j Miss Kalbfeisch and Miss Dana are
we'll and favorably known, having
grown up in this community, gradual
ed at the local high school and made
: good in whatever they have under
J taken.

training and will give the patrons Of
No. 4 a good school. On the whole q
strong corps Of teachers this year
