LYNDEN'S NEW CORPS
OF TEACHERS NAMED
Two Less Instructors Than At Open
ing OF Last Year Is Economy Pro-
gram In City

Announcement of Lyndcn's teach.
ing faculty for next year was made
today by Superintendent w. A. Fish.
or. One less grade teacher and one
less high school teacher will be EN-.
ploycd than at the beginning of last
year, the economy having been made
possible by the fact that Mr.. Fisher
himself will handle the bulk of the
mathematics courses.
The following will be the teachers
in the grade school:
Miss Christine Johnson. primary
Miss Hurlburt, second grade.
Miss Wincmiller of Blaine. third
Miss Katherine Harris fourth.
Miss Edith Harris, fifth.
Miss Viola Gosch, sixth.
Miss Edna McKinnon, 7th and high
school.
Miss Anna Wright. of Sumas, a
sister of PA Wright. Sth grade and
principal of the grade school.
Miss Elsie Sweet will be the prin-
cipal of the high school, and will
handle the foreign languages and his
tory courses. Other instructors will
be:
Miss Bessie Gwinn, Latin and Eng
lish.
Miss Helen Nelson of the Univers-
ity of Washington. English and hist
ory.
Miss Martha Johnson of the Univ
ersity of Washington, science.
Miss Gala Van Syckle, domestic
science. Miss Van Syckle is from the
Bellingham Normal school.
Orren Frye. State Normal School,
manual training and athletics.
The positions of instructors in art
and music, and commercial work,

The reduction of two in the teach
ing force will not mean lowering of
standards in any way, but merely a
doubling up of work by the present
faculty in order to make the econ
omy possible.

BOARD VOTES EXTRA
$500 TO RED CROSS
Will Give Half OF Over-Subscription
To Drive; DIR. Suzzalo Suggests A
Statewide Lynden Plan

Twenty-eight hundred dollars will
! be Lynden's contribution to the Nat
ional Red Cross work, following the
decision of the War Chest Fund COM
mittee to increase the local allotment
by $500, approximately half of the
! oversubscription to the funu.
i The comittee, which is composed
of E. Edison. W. H. Jackman. P. NJ.
/ Serrurier, Gerrit and Hilbert Kok
met Saturday and voted to increase
the subscription. The fund raised in
Lynden totaled 1920, and will be
used for all war charities for 1918.
Lynden's plan of curtailing all of
the heavy oversubseriptions to war
charities through the medium of
single fund has the hearty approval
of Henry Suzzalo, chairman of the
state council of defense, who advoc-
ated last week some such plan for
the entire state. Suzzalo's ideas are
expressed in the following editorial
from the Spokane Spokesman Rev
lew:
DR.. Henry Suzzallo, chairman of
the state council of defense, left a
thought with the people of the In
land Empire that merits reflection.
Geo. B. Chandler, one of the national
speakers sent to the Spokane confer
ence by the government. had said
that already the war is costing the
people of Washington about $500, ,000
day, or more than $3.50, 100000 a
year. This is the vast sum We are
applying to Liberty bond subscrip-
tions. war savings, Red Cross contri-
buttons and various other relief and
rocreational activities and war taxes.
1t is high time, declared DR.. SuZ-
zallo, that we should look ahead and
conserve the financial strength of the
state. and to that end the state coun-
Gil of defense will take up the help
full work of guiding subscriptions and
contributions. 1t will first pass up
on the activities that will come up
for public approval and endeavor to
cut out duplication. 1t will then cal
culate the just quota for the state
and each community and insist that
such quota be adhered to-that ov-
er enthusiastic communities stop
when they have raised their portion
and that tagging communities be
urged and helped forward TO the full
performance of their duty.
AS a just and proper brake on ov-
,r-enthusiasm the state council of de-
fense will ask that where a quota is
cver-subscribed all beyond it be held
in trust and credited on the next f.
naneial campaign.
1t is obviously advisable that these
campaigns be brought under the con-
troll and direction of some properly
constituted authority, and the coun-
Gil of defense is the logical agency.
The council of national defense. ere
ated by act of congress, and composed
of six members of President Wilson's
cabinet, has subordinate councils in
all the states of the Union, and the
state councils have their subordinate
county and community councils.
The public should look to this law
fully constituted organization for di-
rection and engage only in such war
drives as win the express approval of
the state council.
