TEACHERS CHOSEN
FOR NEXT TERM
Two New Teachers Are Selected for
Franklin K. Lane School;
Term Begins September 3.

The School board announces that
Miss Luella Schaeffer and Mrs. N.
A. Schaeffer have been selected for
the teaching staff of the Franklin
K. Lane school and that the next
term will commence on September 8.
The school board have felt that
the growing number of pupils at
tending the Franklin K. Lane school
rendered it impossible for one teach
er to handle the work alone, and at
the last meeting of the board made
the selections for the teaching staff
out of the applications on file.
Miss Luella Schaeffer, who will
teach the advanced grades, has been,
for the past two years, principal of
the school at Sitka, Alaska, and is
expected to arrive here shortly to
take up her new duties.
Mrs. M. A. Schaeffer, who will
teach the primary classes, also has
had considerable experience in school
work.
The school term will commence
on September 3rd and it is expected
that the number of pupils will be
much greater than in last term.
The changes in the teaching staff
were made necessary by the re-
signation of Mrs. William Grigg (nee
Helena Kobe) and in the increase in
the number of scholars.
