The Board of Education received a
nice letter from the State Superin.
tendent of Schools, Hon. Samuel A.
Baker, of Jefferson City, last week
in which he compliments the high
school at this place very highly. In
speaking of the report sent in by the
high school inspector, who was here
a few days ago, he says: "The report
shows that you have a splendid new
high school building, well equipped for
doing good school work. Your teach
ers and your pupils are doing high
grade work. Your next forward step,
it seems, would be to introduce a
course Of Manual Training. This, |
understand, you contemplate doing +"
He closes his letter by suggesting a
few minor changes.
The Board of Education met last
J wednesday evening and elected Mil
ford Hall, of Cape Girardeau, as Conn
mercial teacher, and Miss Mabel E.
Weise, of Fayette, as teacher of Home
Economics. Both of these teachers
come very highly recommended, and
will no doubt add much to our already
splendid school. The president of the
board appointed the following COM
mittees from the members of the
board: A committee on Supplies for
the school, one on Books, Budget and
Finance, Building Committee to lock
after the buildings and grounds, a
committee to purchase equipment for
manual training, and a sanitary COM
mittee. We think the work of such
committees will be big advantage to
the school in many ways.

day morning of the death of Mrs. Min
ME Appleberry, wife of DR.. r. Apple

Eastern Star at this place, and quite
a delegation from here attended the
