PR The local school board, composed of Messrs. H. L, Swatts, G B. M_ur- rell and J. C. Owéhs, met this morn- ing to appoint teachers for the com- ing year and transact other business coming before them. Only a few of the teachers were tappointed, and the board prefers not to make .these appointments public until the list has been completed, Prof. Chas. M. Jones was re-elect- ed prineipal of the school several days ago, his election having been confirmed by the county board. Prof. Jones is the right man in the right place, and the Evening Telegram is glad indeed to know that such an educator has charge of Lakeland’s school affairs. It was decided by the board that all teachers in the future would be required to pass a special city exami- ‘nation, and authorized Prof. Jones to arrange same. It is not known when the examination will be held, but in all probability there will be two, one in June and the other the latter part of August. The special exaiaination {e given in order that only trained teachers be employed in the future in the Lakeland school. Those teach- ers who attend chmmer normals, and bring testimonials from their in- structors as to their knowledge of the fundamental elements of teaching, | may be exempted from the examina- tion if their recommendations prove satisfactory to the principal. Those teathers appointed for the coming school term will be subject to the my examination. —‘—§—'__.__—— * NUSONE fflJDIST TODAY' (By Associated Press.)
