BOY SCOUTS TO
MEET WEDNESDAY
AT SCHOOL HOUSE
The boy scout movement is progres
sing rapidly and the majority of the
local lads are interested in its imme
diate formation. On this account,
weather permitting, the boy scouts
will meet in front of the school house
at S o’clock sharp on Wednesday night.
The purpose of the meeting will be
to effect a permanent organization

in town to spend a few hours each
week during the summer vacation
learning scout work, drill, military
tactics and first aid.

SCHOOL TERM
OVER, TEACHING
STAFF RETAINED
— ■ ■
The closing of the local school term
Friday marked the beginning of the
summer vacation for the children and
an opportunity of much needed rest
for the teachers who have finished a
year of hard work well done.
As individuals we are all inclined to
consider our own daily tasks as about
the hardest and most tiresome jobs in
the world, but there are few who
, trade their posts for the responsibil
ity of teaching the young idea the
problems of the class room.
The best testimony of the efficien
cy of our local staff of instructors are
the positions which have been receiv
ed bv them from other cities. One has
| received the offer of a position of
teacher in the American school at
! Shanghai, China, another the princi
palship of the Cordova school, while
l a third has been asked to return to
: her old post in her home town. All .
have refused the invitations and will
' continue to give Seward the benefit of
! the organization perfected during the 1
' past year.
