very extensive reading and study
along administrative lines that have
benefited me greatly.
The coming in contact, daily, with
four or five city superintendent of
Idaho, and by a number of confer
problems, we set out to solve them
and all feel that we have profited
considerably.
The repair and cleaning work OF
the janitors is progressing very
nicely. The Central school is now
ready for occupancy. The floors have
been cleaned, all the wood work
thoroly washed and the seats re-
vanished.
The janitors are now at work on
the windows of the high school,
which will be completed by the end
of this week together with the seats.
They will go to the Irving building
this coming week, which will be put
in shape in a weeks time.
The remaining rooms have been
calsomined, which means that the
entire system has been calsomined
during the past three years.
Janitors Dolan and SAINT have
taken their vacations and SAINT will
again be on the job tomorrow, while
Eckersley is now of for two weeks.
Ketchum, the newly elected janitor
of the junior high school building
went to work August 1 and is rapidly
rounding into shape and becoming
accustomed to the work.
The coal for the coming year is
now in the bins and all furnaces are
in shape for the coming of cold
weather. Janitors' supplies. except |
sweeping compound, are now on hand
or in transit.
During the past month, Miss Inez

Irving, Miss Bertha Swanson, third
grade teacher at Central and Mrs.
M. N. Austin, principal of Irving
have resigned. Miss Lucille Snyder,
has been employed to fill
the position left vacant by the resig.
nation of Miss Bjornson.
The resignation Of Mrs. M. N
Austin brought about rather COM

slight reorganization. These teach

make room at the top for a new
