Public School Notes

S"pt. VI. I1ollllqulSt. Oh Long I'falfle,
visited Warren the Monday and Tues
day following the Easter vacation. On
Tuesday he visited the various grades
and departments of the schools over
which he is to preside next year. Mr..
Holmquist gave very thoughtful adj
dress to the high school and took oc-
caslon to say by way Of Introduction
that he supposed the school was sizing
him up as he was sizing up the school.
He is pleased with the outlook and
feels sure his family and himself will
like Warren and her splendid people.
Supt. Holmquist will move to Warren
during the. summer when we are sure
the people will give his excellent fam
lily the most cordial welcome With
the cooperation which the citizens of
any town should give to the head of
its school system. Mr.. HOlmQuist is
bound to keep the Warren schools up
to very high standard of efficiency.
Instead of having the usual COM
mencement, speaker this year. the grad

exercised. This year at commence
ment time the class will have the I'M

schools $4,000 Liberty Bond. a gift
than which there could be none more
significant of the patriotic spirit which
pervades the high school. The three

The Burnside school has recently be-

The prospective teachers of the Nor
NAL department spent last week doing
practice teaching in several of the sur
rounding rural schools. No doubt they
have returned full of ideas. ideals. and
inspiration for the work which they
will soon undertake. Wherever they
may teach. we wish them the best of
success.
The untimely death of Mr.. and Mrs.
