Mahan rendered his resignation,

discussion the same was accepted.
This viii come as surprise
and disappointment 10 many OF
our people who have followed the
work Of Superintendent McAIa-
han during his nine years of sue
ccssful effort IN directing the
training Of our young men and
women for their life careers; who
have seen the Nczperce public
schools develop from a more or
less unorganized, unaccrcdited
status into the present cnviable
position they hold, in one Of the
finest public school buildings in
the land.
Mr.. McMahan has not yet am
nounced his future plans, but
the school that gets his services
will secure a high grade instruct
or and organizer and gentle
man, and viii undoubtedly have
occasion TO be proud Of its choice.
The operators at the Nczpcrce

thanks to Mrs. J. p. SorenSon
