HIGH SCHOOL ARRIVES

A. S. Kubitz. principal OF the
White Pine County High School, re-
turned to Ely last Thursday from his
vacation and immediately took up
the duties of organizing the faculty
work for the fall term of school
Mr.. Kubitz remarked that con
siderable time during his vacation
was spent in the effort to secure
teachers and that owing 10 the fact
of shortage of 5000 in the nun.
Der OF teachers required throughout
the country for the coming year, the
task was big one 'It was just a
question of bidding for them,'' de-
clared Mr.. Kubitz, and it was only
due to the fact that the County Board
of Education was willing 10 pay a
higher scale than many other places
that We we're able to secure n high
standard of teachers.
The enrolment OF the schoo, is eX-
pected to be greater this fall than at
any time in the previous history ci
