Monday morning the public school opened with a cleaned and homey building. Superintendent L T Shipley is aided by Hermin Adams in the high school where enrollment reached 35. Staff include S P Carr in the grammar department and Mrs Etta Bailey in the second intermediate. Total enrollment stands at 143 with room for more as various departments report active classes and many nonresident students. The high school is better organized than in years past and teachers are described as diligent and helpful to students. Directors and parents are urged to visit and encourage use of books and supplies to keep children in school and off the streets.
