tho board.
This board, seeing an urgent de-
mand upon them to elect teachers,
held almost continuous session for
several days, working day and night
to fill the vacancies in the, faculty.
So unsatisfactory had become the
conditions that everyone N ofgothe

probably only few who dwere
Counting upon work in the school,
and from this condition only a few
days ago practically complete fac
ulty have been employed and have
accepted to be in their places on the
first day of the school, if necessary
for the preliminary work to begin
the Friday prior to the regular open
ing day.
The superintendent, Mr.. McGee,
;.rrived in Union City Monday and
spent the day with the Board of
Education, going over the work and
familiarizing himself as far as pos
sible with the details, and he never
lost minute while here. Mr.. Nc
Gee was introduced to a number of
our citizens, who were very much
impressed with his appearance and
his manner of entering upon the
work. He is man of forty perhaps
with wife and two children. He is
of Irish descent, square built, strong
features, light completed, intensive
speculating eyes, clear headed, big
capacity for expeditions work, and
seems to have a proper sense of the
Importance of his vocation.
Mr.. MCGEE is graduate of the
University Of Missouri, Columbia,

outside the city of st. Louis, for six
years. He is we'll known here to the
family of Mr.. Will Whitson, where
Mrs. MCGEE visited on. former oc-
casion, while further acquaintance
comes from the fact that Miss Ruth
Whitson has been engaged in school
work. with Mr.. MCGEE at Webster
Grove.
But Mr.. McGee is not the only uni
versity man we are to have in the
school. We have another, Mr.. r. H.
A. B. and A. M. of the Uni
versity of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Mr..
Baldwin is not only an accomplished
scholar and teacher, but he comes
with the finest Endorsements. In
fact he was one of the applicants for
the position of superintendent, and
was finally offered place in the
aigh school, which he accepted. Mr..
Baldwin held chair as teacher in
he University of Michigan after his
degrees were attained and then fill
I'd the position of superintendent of
schools at Quincy, Mich, for one or
.wo terms. Mr.. Baldwin has no
amily except his mother, with whom
