in the history of the city's schools
during the coming term is expected
by G. l.. Putnam, city superintendent
of schools, who returned last week
from Cheney, where he was one of
just closed.
prospects are bright" says Mr..
Putnam "for one of the best years
we have had in the history Of our
schools. The city has been very
fortunate in securing teachers who
have had experience in teaching, and
the parents of children who will at
tend school during the coming term
can be assured of their children
getting the best instruction possible"
There is one thing | would like
to call to the attention of the people
of Coville," said Mr.. Putnam, "and
that is about the employment of
boys and girls who need work for
their board and room in order to get
an education. There will be many
boys and girls who will need just
this kind of work and | believe that
it would be a good thing for the
community if the people would help
us in solving this problem"
According to Mr.. Putnam, the
record made by boys and girls who
have graduated from the high school
here compares favorably with achieve
ments made by other high school
graduates of the state For the
most part, the boys and girls needing
work to help them through school
come from different parts of the
county where the means of getting
a living is hard and where their
parents find it financially impossible
to send them to school so that they
can secure a good education.
''lf any Of the people in Colville
have positions or know Of positions
where boys and girls can work for
their board and room or where they
can earn money to pay for their
board would appreciate it very
much if they would get in communi-
cation with Mr.. Grinstead or myself"
said Mr.. Putnam. 81 am confident
that by the time school opens there
will be a number of positions open
to the boys and girls who are trying
to educate themselves TO better
citizens"
