LOCAL SCHOOLS.
After discussing the matter in exc
cutive session, the board of education
at its regular monthly meeting, Mon
day evening, reelected Superintendent
Arnold Gloor of the local public schools
for another year. The board also
voted to increase his salary $500, from
$4,000 to $4,000 per year. Prior to
going into executive session, board
members informally inquired of Super
intendent Gloor whether he would
consider reelection and the salary
question was also discussed. In this
connection, Mr.. Gloor stated that New
Ulm and one other city are at the
bottom OF list of some Is or 80 COM
munltles in the state as far as the per
centage OF increase in the superintend-
ent's salary during the past five years
IS concerned. He thought that the
local superintendent should receive
compensation at the rate of at least
S3,6OO per year. Following announce
ment of the boards action, Mr.. Gloor
requested that. he be given 10 days in
which to consider whether he would
accept reelection or not, which was
granted.
Favor Free Clinic.
DR.. G. A. Hintz informed his fellow
board members that Miss Emma
Potter, school nurse, had conferred
with him relative to the establishment
of free dental clinic for the use of
school children at the school house.
Arrangements could probably be made
to house the clinic in Miss Potter's
office IN the Emerson building. Dr..
Hintz also stated that he had spoken
with most of the other local dentists
relative to this matter and they had
expressed a willingness to devote
half day or even more time each,
month to examine the teeth of the
children gratuitously, as we'll as to give
all needy children necessary dental
treatment free of charge. The local
Red Cross Chapter has given Miss
Potter the assurance that it will pro-
vide the necessary equipment for the
clinic, paying therefor out of funds of
the Chapter. 1t was also suggested
that the New Ulm physicians be can
vassed to ascertain whether they
would be willing to devote half day
month to the physical examination of
pupils. 1t is believed that this can be
accomplished
DR.. Hintz proposed that, in case the
clinic is established, records of all
examinations and treatments be care
fully kept and that individual reports
be made out in triplicate, the original
to be placed on file in the school nurses
office, while the examining physician
or dentist retains one copy and gives
the other to the pupil examined.
After discussing the matter at length,
Dr.. Hintz and Miss Potter were author
lied to carry out the preliminary work
and report at the next meeting of the
board
Many Detectives Found.
Superintendent Gloor reported that
DR.. O. j. Seifert had completed the
physical examination OF retarded pupils
- of the public schools, preparatory to
having DR.. F. Kuhlmann Of Faribault
perform the mental tests of these
children, of whom between rs and 80
were examined DIR. Seifert has not
completed his report in connection with
the investigation, but it can be stated
that there were a great many cases Of
unusually enlarged ttonsilsa In this
connection, F. r. Zschunke thought it
good plan to have physical examina-
tions made Of all school children. 5..si5
Only Eight Applicants.
Superintendent Gloor also Informed
the board members that only eight
applicants had reported for Instruction
in citizenship class that was to have
been formed here. In view of4the fact
that only.tWo of these are aliens, While
the others are citizens who desire tc
broaden their knowledge Of the Ameri-
can language and our form Of govern
ment, the matter Of establishing this
class was laid on the table, as the
expense involved would be far greater
than the benefits derived therefrom
1t is possiblethat ascitizenship class viii
be formed at the beginning Of the fal
term of school, /
