Swanger of Downey, | Idaho, who was selected as su-| perintendent for the Cottonwood | Public school, arrived here last | week from a two months vaca-| tion trip which he spent in tour-! ing the country in his car with! his family. They have rented | the William Nuxoll property and | are now nicely located in their ‘new home.

Mr. Swanger is a/ very pleasing gentleman to meet and we believe will make a splen- did showing with our school the; coming nine months. | Statement by Supt. Swanger. | The public schools of Cotton- wood will open on Monday morn- ing, September 12th at 9 a. m. The first day’s work is very im- portant for organization and there should be a full attendance in both grades and high school. Classification will take _ place, | books be purchased and distri- buted, assignments for the next days work be made, and short- be noted and ordering of books to supply de- ficiencies ean be then made. The superintendent’s office will be open also on the preced- ing Saturday from 1 p. m. to 4 p. m. for the purpose of meeting all high school pupils who come that day for preliminary consid- eration of course of study to be, taken, ete. The whole idea is to get into the school harness as promptly as possible and to make the school days count from the very first. In many places the work of classification and preparation for class work, such as getting books, ete., takes place Friday and Saturday pre- ceding the opening under the regular schedule. By opening the superintendent’s office how- ever we simply give opportunity for some forehanded work by those who have the forethought to do it. The following teachers have been selected and will be on hand to forward the school work from the very first day: Prof. Augus- tus Boosinger, principal high! school and teacher of manual training; he will also have other classes. Mr. Boosinger comes highly recommended. | Teacher of English and other subjects to round out teaching requirements. We have assur- ances that this line of work will be well taken care of. Miss Hanson, who was here last year will again have the domestic science and some sci- ence classes besides. Her abil- ity is well known and her work will glide away smoothly from the first. Supt. Swanger will teach the) history classes and some math- | ematics. | The grade teachers are as fol- lows: | First and second grades Alice Tiffany. Third and fourth grades Har- | riet Meyers. Fifth and sixth Coolidge. This summons all parents and pupils to the cause of education under the provisions of the state! Let us answer it to the full and enable those who lead as teach-| ers to mark out the work well from the very first day. Frank A. Swanger, Supt.

The reason for disposing of his business, as given out by Mr. Schaecher is that he wishes to get out in the open and te re- lieved from the close confine- ment which he has been more or less subject to for the past nine years. We understand that his plans for the future are not ful- ly settled but that he will remain in Cottonwood until spring at least, when he will try his luck at farming. Mr. Schaecher wishes to ex- his thanks through the Chronicle to his many friends and patrons who so loyally sup- ported his business institution during the past nine years and says that he will always have a | warm spot in his heart for them and that no matter whereg@e de-| Secretary Adams from Colorado} nye | cides to locate, he and his family will always think of them in a most kindly way.
