taught by Mr.. Klampe and the do
mestic science by Miss James. The
9Th grade has an enrolment of thirty

Hosken. To accomplish the best re-
suits no teacher should have more
than thirty-five pupils in her charge.
The fifth grade is taught by Mrs.
Nettie Reinhart and has an enroll
ment of twenty-eight. The second
third and fourth grades are too large

championship of the local Young

to bow to much superior work on the
part of Miss Allen But in the sec
ond set, she commenced to get into
her own and led the winner hot
battle forcing it into extra games.
This was the first woman'S net tourn-

Rev. d. d. Hisaren Takes Life
Membership I'm Celtic Cross.

We are in receipt of acOpy of the
Irish Republic (Chicago) which con-
tains a fine portrait and a very COM
plimentary notice of Father d. D.
Hishen, life Epember of the Holy
Cross. The Republic says:
The O'Hanrahan Council of the
A. A. r. I. r., which is active in
every movement for the cause of Ire
land, and which is the center around
which all the activities of the Second
Congregational District are grouped
receives most of it's inspiration from
the enthusiasm, ardent patriotism
and unselfsh devotion of Father
Hishen.
He has supported and encouraged
the Celtic Gross from the very begin
ming, and whatever received his ap-
proval becomes a success in Holly
Cross parish. His people have known
him for the past thirty years, and
consequently have good reason to be-
lieve that his viewpoint is always cor
rect No Council in the city has
done mora for the relief OF Ireland
than O'HanTahan Council, through
the efforts oof it's membership.
Father Hishen regards the cause
of Ireland as most sacred one. He
is most 3Tttspoken in his praise Of
the IrisE people and thoroughly
American when he presents their
claims fog independence. In the pul-
pit and On the platform he is a con-
sisgent advocate of Irish freedom
and no cause ever had a more fear
less chamGiion.
His church is known as the NEIHish
Church" Proportionately lit has mo
more Irish people than many other
churches CT {Chicago, but it certainly
has a warmth, a pietys spirit of 10y
atty to authority an opem-heaEted
generosity, a kindly spiritual atmqE-
phere which can rarely be found ,aut-
side the hal!owed land of Ireland.

Class Rooms Taxed To the
Utmost Degree.

"
The public schools of our city
opened Tuesday, Sept. 9Th, with a
record enrolment in all departments
from the kindergarten through the
high school.
The enrolment in the high school
is the largest in the history of the in
stitution and is taxing the laborator-
les and class-rooms to the utmost de-
Sophomores, 80 Juniors and 35 Sen
iors enrolled making a total Of 204.
The maximum seating capacity of
the study hall is ITO so twenty-five
students do not have desks of their
own, but are obliged to share desk
with "a fellow student. Thus fifty
students suffer the inconvenience of
not having adequate space in which
to keep their books and other study
equipment. The Board of Education
is graphing with the problem and will
provide lockers or some other device
in which students may keep their
books.
It is unfortunate that the salary
scale in Mineral Point was not large
enough TO cause a majority of the
high school teachers who We're with
us last year to return this year. A
large turnover is detrimental to the
best interests of the school the same
as it is in industry. 1t requires con-
siderable time for teachers to be-
come acquaintd with students and
their parents. The best work is pos
sible only when there is wholeheart-
ed cooperation of all agencies in at
tanning the desired goal. In spite of
all drawbacks indications point to-
ward most successful school year.
All teachers have entered upon their
duties with great enthusiasm and are
putting their best energies into their
work The Board of Education
should be congratulated upon secur-
ing a corps of well trained and pro
fessionally minded teachers.
The high school instruction is in
charge of the following teachers
Arnold A. Vieth, Superintendent, AL
