A. Langtop, superintendent of schools

literature, oral expression and COM
mercial arithmetic; Albert E. Sells,
agriculture, chemistry and general
science; Josephine Johnson, mathe-
mates, history and civics; ]. G. Kim
ball Jr., manual training and
athletics; Olena Smith, domestic art,
science and physical education; Alice
Hankinson, stenography, typewrit-
ing, bookkeeping and English.
Harry A. Dean will instruct in
music, both in grades and high
school. Mr.. Dean has been studying
music in Salt Lake City for some
time past and is prepared to give
the proper instruction along this
line.
A manual training building has
been erected near the high school
building, thus givingsmore room in
the high school building proper for
study and recitation.
The commercial department under
Miss Alice Hankinson, which has
been added this year, makes it un-
necessary for our young people to go
elsewhere to acquire training in
business English, typewriting, stenog
raphy and bookkeeping. This de-
partment has been needed in our
high school, for several years and
now that we have it, our young peo-
pie should use it to advantage.
Both high school and the grade
school are much better equipped this
year and we should all boost for
larger and more regular attendance,
and make the Shelley schools
greater. Education, next to health,
is one of our most valuable assets
in life today and tomorrow.
