SEPTEMBER 6DAY
OF OPENING FOR
LOCAL SCHOOLS
Teachers Have Been Selected and
Buildings Are Being
Improved

The pupils of the Junior and. senior
classes of the Lakeland high school
met with Prof. G. E. Everett, princi-
pal of the high school, this morning
at the auditorium of the Lake Morton
building to arrange the program of
study. This was the first time the
young people have had a chance to
give the new head of the high school
and of the Lakeland schools, the
once over and they appear to be
., unanimously for him.
The date of the school opening has
been set for Sept. g. The list of
teachers has been selected, the inn
provements in the school buildings
will have been completed and open
ing day will find everything set for
successful school year.
The county school board has desig
mated eight months as the minimum
length of the school year in every
Polk county school, but should it be
necessary for the high schools to have
nine months, arrangements will be
made for the extra month, according
to G.. A. Parker, county superinten-
dent of schools.
The equalization of salaries for
teachers seems to have started a ru-
NOR that salaries were being cut. No
one has reduced salary, but a new
schedule of salaries has been adopted
according to which experience
teachers will receive an increase in
salary over the inexperienced teach
ers. Only experienced teachers are
permitted to teach in the seventh and
eighth grades.
The entire teaching force of the
Lakeland high school has been chang
ed since last year but every instructor
has special qualifications in training
and experience for his work. The
Lakeland high school, like every other
senior high school in Polk county, is
on the accredited list.
As announced before, G. E. Everett,
recently of Mayslick, KY, is the new
principal of the high school and the
supervising principal of the Lakeland
schools, and H. N. Donoho, recently
of Bowling Green is the principal of
the Lake Morton school.
