z new DEPARTMENTS IN
LOCAL SCHOOLS CREATED
Oakland High to Have Industrial
Art Department; Special Glasses
Planned in Elementary School
SCHOOL BOARD MATTERS
DECIDED AT MEETING

That department of industrial arts
in Oakland High school, and a special
class for pupils needing extra help in
the Oakland Elementary school would
be inaugurated this fall was an
nounced by F. E. Rathbun, county
superintendent of schools, following a
meeting of the Board of Education
last Friday, June 30.
Present at the meeting were Walter
W. Dawson, president; Walter w.
Savage, vice-president; Stuart F.
Hamill, associate member; and Mr..
Rathbun, secretary. Mr.. Hamill was
recently appointed member of the
Board for 6 years, until May, 1915.
The Board appointed the following
teachers: Upton Sheets as assistant
teacher in Oakland High school;
Merne W. Kloss as assistant teacher
in Oakland Elementary; Rach e |
Hughes, principal of Bear Hill school;
Helen M. Conner, principal Lager
school; Helen Gibson-Merat, principal
of Combination school.
Mr.. Sheets will establish a depart
ment of industrial arts and general
shop in the local High school.
Mrs. Kloss was appointed to con-
duct a special class of pupils who may
need extra help in meeting the re-
quirements of their usual grade, Mr.
Rathbun stated. "Many pupils are
unable to carry on or keep up with
their classes due to absence from
school frequently from illness, defec-
tive vision, hearing, and other reas-
ons," he said. "The number of chill
dren in this special class will be limi-
ted to about 20, enabling the teacher
to give more individual attention to
each pupil. The addition to the Oak
land elementary school of four mod
ern classrooms has helped greatly to
make possible this additional facility"
Mrs. Kloss has had special training
and preparation for this type of class
room instruction and has had success
full experience in this particular field
Of instruction, Mr.. Rathbun pointed.
Pupils are to be selected principally
from the first, second and third grades
and more particularly from those
who have failed in being promoted.
The Federal and State funds for the
payment of the salary of such special
teacher can only be secured for teach
ers in the largest elementary schools
in the county, and then only where the
best possible type of room is available
as also where other rigid requirements
can be complied with, When such in
structors are employed and these re-

PLACING FIRECRACKERS IN
MAILBOX BRINGS ARREST
Robert Utterback Accused OF
Malicious Destruction OF Gov

Charged with malicious destruction
of U. S. Government property and
United States mail, Robert Utterback,

o'clock on the morning Of July 4,
which blew away the front, mutilated
dozen or more pieces of mail in the
box at the time, and otherwise dam

happened to be in Mt. Lake Park on
Tuesday investigating a case there.
Utterback was arrested at one of the
farm homes around Deep Greek Lake
later that morning.
With him at the time of the Incl
dent was Guy W. Gregg, of Deer Park.
No charge has been placed against
Gregg, but he will probably be called
before the U. S. Commissioner for
questioning when Utterback is given
hearing.
Mrs. Frances H. Matthews, post
master, said all mail in the box at
the time could be replaced. Tampering
with a mail box is punishable by a fine
of $1,000 or three years Imprisonment.

Lodge about two weeks ago. The boat
and motor were owned by man from
Pennsylvania.
Neil C. Fraley, States Attorney,
and Corporal Thomas Currie of the
State police, accompanied Owens to
Friendsville. The two young men adj
mitted the theft and led the officers to
where they had hidden the motor,
mile or more from Friendsville.

81 and costs by Magistrate G.. F.
White on charge Of unlawfully ex-
ploding frecrackers on the streets of

dent recently. He furnished cash
bond of 500 and was released.
