Enrollment Soars as High School Eyes New Deaf Department
The district reports 197 students enrolled this term with 120 girls and 77 boys, nearing the all time high. Rural pupils number 34, and new classes in commercial fields attract more students. A petition seeks a city school for the deaf, funded by state aid, while grades exceed seating limits and a new seventh grade is added in the Washington building.

Enthronement of Bishop Weller Planned Quietly
Bishop R H Weller will succeed Bishop Charles Chapman Grafton as bishop of Fond du Lac with a simple ceremony likely on November 8, the twelfth anniversary of Bishop Weller’s episcopal consecration. He opposes elaborate rites and expects a restrained service. The St Point Journal notes modest plans remain possible as no definite program exists. Krasin Brothers advance Tiffany-Eamps storefront front changes, with second story nearly finished expanding store space. A heavy staging will keep sidewalks open during work.
