TEACHING POSITIONS
IN LEANENWORTH SCHOOLS
ARE FILLED.

All teaching positions in Leaven-
worth schools have been filled for next
fall. OF course designations may oc-
cur during the summer, but from the
fact that the teachers, with one or
two exceptions, signed contracts and
otherwise expressed their intentions
Of returning, it seems most likely
that few if any vacancies will devel-
Op.
Only one vacancy had to be filled
in the grades, and that was caused by
Miss Krieders resignation from the
seventh grade. In filling this va
cancy, Encouragement has been
made which to certain extent af-
fects all the grade teachers. 1t has
seemed wise to secure a man for the
principalship of the grade building,
and to distribute grades among the
teachers so that numbers and work
assigned to teachers will be more
nearly even and so that new entrants
during the year may be more easily
taken care of. Pupils will be assign
ed to the several teachers in alpha
betical order, as that is the method
often used and is the fairest for all
concerned. Careful estimates have
been made by the several teachers
and the superintendent, so that it is
known with very little uncertainty
just how this will work out. The av-
erage number of pupils per teacher
will be about 81.
Though the Board of Directors has
not passed upon it it seems likely that
a slight adjustment in the duties o.
the ianitors will be made whereby
one man may look after the grade
building and the high school building
and also serve as attendance officer
With this arrangement, and with a
man acting as principal in the grade
building, it seems that considerable
improvement in the management Of
the grades should result.
An effort has been made to fill tho
vacancies in the high school, caused
by several designations, with expert
enced teachers. This has been found
to be little difficult, because most
all teachers can return to positions
held last year at last years salary,
which almost without exception was a
good salary. They do not care to
leave last years position unless they
can better themselves.
