Our School Discussed by Jamestown Journal Reporter
Hans Waite of the Jamestown Journal interviews our school on Tuesday. The attendance was 352, 72 percent of the records, affected by a three week disease and a strong German influence in Warren. The board weighs a German department and stricter discipline under Mr King, who improved order and progress. Teachers deserve higher wages and Warren should support liberal funding and facilities, as Warren gains from stronger education. Croquet Croquet at Hazeltine Orr and Co's.
