 Miss Sally Beardsley, who has been teacher in the seventh grade of Hop Brook school for several years, was appointed to fill the position of principal of Hop Brook school. left vacant by the appoint ment of Miss Maroney. Although the appointment was to the end of the year, 1t is felt that she will un- doubtedly be continued in that po- sition on next year if she so desires.
 Miss Eileen Cleary, who taught for two years at Stattsburg- on- the Hudson, N. r., and has done substi- tute teaching here, was appointed ] to fill Miss Beardsley's place in sev- enth grade. She resigned from the private school where she had beer teaching in New York state last spring. She had done substitute work in Salem school recently.

N W houses are being erected in this section and several persons have moved there 30 the number of chill dren being transported daily in Frank Clark's bus has increased to 90. This is too many for the size Of the bus. It was decided the best thing would be to make as many as possible attend Groveside school in- stead of going to more centrally located schools. The board author ized the superintendent to make such changes in attendance at the Groveside school. grades one to six. as he found necessary. It Is be- { lievcd this will solve the problem.
