Has also held a principalship and a
superintendency in a small place.
Miss Mildred X. Smith of Okoboji,

History and part of English. She has
had several years of very successful
work and we have been very FORUM
ate in securing her services.
Miss Kathleen Simonson, of Ver-
million, South Dakota, will have

of the best Home Economics teachers
In the state, having done some very
fine work in the Woonsocket schools

d., will have charge of the Science
Department. She is an honor gradu-
ate of the Dakota Wesleyan Univer-
sity and has had considerable expert
ence in the Laboratory under the SUI
pervision of the University authorit-
les.
Miss Helen Pierce, of Manchester,
Iowa, will teach Mathematics. Miss
Pierce to us very highly rec
commended, and although with not as
much experience as the others should
prove a successful teacher.
Mr.. Sigurd Lexwold, of Zumbrota,
Minnesota, will take charge of the
Manual Training department. He is
considered one of the best men at
Stout Institute this year. 1t is felt
that any man that Stout will highly
recommend will be very successful.
He ought to give us as good work as
we have had in the past.
Mrs. Gwendolen p. Bentz is the
only one of this years teachers in
High School who will be back with
charge of the Latin and Normal
Training departments and will ON
tinue the excellent work she has done
for us this past year,
Although we are cutting two teach
ers out for the coming year, we will
endeavor to do the best we can under
the circumstances. Present plans
may change, but if they hold true we
will offer Bookkeeping and Typewrit-
ing in the Commercial work doing
away with the Shorthand and Com
mercial Arithmetic. We also hope 10
have Music and Physical Training,
but whether we will be able to justly
handle them with the corps elected
for mex year without other work suf-
fering is questionable. 1t is hoped
however that they will be taken are
of.
In the Grades four of this years
teachers will remain with us. Miss
Carpenter, Miss Conger, Miss Bohen,
and Miss Wilson. We can conside,
ourselves fortunate in keeping the
majority of the best grade teachers.
We only hope that we can do as good
with the new ones that will take
the place of those who leave us. II
present plans prove to work out all
right the grade work will be depart
mentalized from the fourth grade
through the eighth. In this way we
will be able to take care of the grade
Music successfully with the other
grade work. Miss Agnes Krug of
Madison, Miss Louise Whitmore, Of
Madison, Miss Manetta Huddle of
Chamberlain, all very highly recon-
mended will have charge of grade
work next year. We are still looking
for another teacher to take charge OF
Drawing and Penmanship and it is
hoped that we can obtain someone
who is especially gifted in these two
branches.
Supt. Cooper wishes to thank the
patrons of the school for their part in
making the present school year a
success. Without the good will of the
parents and patrons it is absolutely
impossible to have a good school. II
is hoped that we a continue with as
good cooperation and even more of It
next year than has been true the past
two years.
Supt. Cooper left for Post Graduate
work at the University of Minnesota
last week. Some mighty fine work is
being offered there in Education and
there will be many school men there
from many states with similar prob
lens to thrash out. He is working
for q Master of Arts degree in Educa-
tional Administration and Supervision

mer Of 1922. This will make the

mer Schools since obtaining his Bach
