j. S. Pitts Makes
Good In Montana

TIE following item was recently
published in the Western News,
published at Libby, Montana. Both
Mr.. and Mrs. Pitts are we'll known
in River Falls as graduates of the
River Falls State Normal School,
At Monday nights regular meet
ing Of the board of trustees Of
school district No. 4 a contract was
offered to ]. S. Pitts and accepted
by him, whereby the district secures
the services of Mr.. Pitts as super
intendent for a period Of three
years following the present school
year. Under the terms of the
agreement the superintendent sal
airy will increase $100 per year each
Of the three years. The present
contract, which was for one year,
names a salary of 81, 100.
There is a general feeling Of sat-
isfaction among both the board
members and the taxpayers Of Lib
by, caused by the able and effective
manner in which Mr.. Pitts has thus
far conducted the schools. The
handicaps he has worked against
have made his position difficult, and
there is no gainsaying the fact that
he has thoroughly demonstrated his
worth as school executive. With
three more years at least to direct
the schools here he may be expected
to reach noteworthy results in these
institutions.

west of the city: Messrs, John Dusek,
H. R. Taylor, w. D. Elliott, John
Haugh, B. Sampson, Nick Larson,
0. G. Webster and Mrs. Ella Taylor.
The addition of this service as
announced in the Journal several
weeks ago, will mean big improve,
ment to these properties, bringing
light and labor-saving conveniences
which will enhance valuations and
make farming much pleasanter in
many respects.

Prof. W. II. Hunt to
Leave Tor Overseas

Mr.. w. FL. Hunt, of the Normal
faculty, has enlisted for the period
of the year to organize and super
wise educational work in the Amerl-
can army overseas. 1t is the plan of
the government to organize schools
for all of the soldiers ranging from
schools that will take care of the
100000 illiterates in the army to
thoce capable Of giving instruction
in college work. The men who en-
listed to conduct this work will be
given charge Of a definite district,
and will be required to drawstheir
teachers from the ranks Of the army,
to train them and supervise their
work. The actual administration Of
this educational work in the army
is under the auspices OF the Z. M. c..
A., as this organization was asked
by the government to handle the
work.
Mr.. Hunt has no definite informa-
ton as to where he will be located,
but it will be either in England,
France, Italy or Germany He has
been accepted for the work by the
committee in charge, and will leave
as soon as his passports arrive,
which will probably be early IN
March. MrS Hunts services are
altogether of a voluntary nature,
there being no salary connected
with the position except an allow
ance for expenses.
No one could have been selected
for this work Who-is more fitted for
it than Mr.. Hunt, as his experience
in the State Department of Educa-
ton, covering period Of fifteen
years, coupled with his intimate
knowledge of the school systems Of
the state and their methods of or
ganization qualify him
Mr.. Hunt will be the second
member of the normal school faculty
to enter into the American activities
overseas, as Mr.. C. G. Stratton is at
present in Paris with the American
Peace Commission. The faculty and
the school feel very proud that its
members are taking such a promin-
ent part in the war work, and while
they deeply regret Mr.. Hunts alb
sence on leave for year, they will,
nevertheless, look forward with
pleasure to his return to the normal
and they wish him the greatest sue
cess in the patriotic work for which
he has volunteered.
