TUESDAY, OCTOBER 1 Sun rises. Sun set: Moon rises NAME TEAGHERS BY NEW METHOD Board of Education Adds to Department Staff. Lots Are Drawn to Determine the Order of Future ' Preference. —_— After nearly two years of waiting the Board of Education yesterday afternoon elected the first batch of new teachers to the department. There were twenty- seven selected on the ‘“‘preferential and allotment” system. Mrs, Kincaid, presi- dent of the board, was in the chair promptly at 2:30 o’clock, Directors Den- man and Mark were in their offices, but Director Casserly, who had been seen around the board rooms previous to the hour of meeting, was nowhere in evi- dence. After an hour he returned and the board, accompanied by a large pair of shears, adjourned to an antercom, whee the prepared list of names was divided. On the return to the meeting-room Di- rector Denman explained the plan that had been adopted. From the 157 appli- cants who had submitted their names twenty-seven had been selected. These were divided into two classes, known as ‘“‘experience” and _ “training school.” Seventeen were in the first class and ten in_the second. Superintendent Webster conducted the lottery, his hat being the wheel from which ‘the prize of ‘“order of preference’ was drawn, the result being as follows. Elizabeth B. Moore, Cecllia M. Gilchrist, Dorothy Vogelsang, Clare E. Rodgers, May E. A. Gray, Kathryn H. Daly, Mollie McLaren, Lois Angeline Peckham, Annie Whitley, Agnes McDonald, Kernan Kobson, Anna Dwyer, Ellen C. Gaines, Ethel Washington, Ida L. Downing, Clinton E. Miller, Annie Harrower, Adelaide’ M. Cobb, Emma L. Noonan, Edith S. Humphrey, Elvina Berard, Marie F. d'Or, Maude Schendel, Helen M. Hogan, Margaret A. Noon, May T. Gaffney, Anna G. Brittain. As a number of these teachers are out of the city at present all were instructed to report for duty not later than Monday, October 14, at 8:30 a. m. As they report they will be assigned to the substitute list and as vacancies occur will be placed on the eligible list. From this they will be assigned to positions under a two years' probation before being finally elected to the department. Examinations for teachers will be con- ducted on Saturday at the Girls' High School and at the same place In the lat- te~ part of December. All who applied before are eligible to take either or both of the examinations, the fact that they were mnot selected in the first instance being no bar to attempts in the future to secure nositions. Sues Harvey and Mrs. Martin. Henty Toomey is suing J. Downey Har- vey and Mrs. Eleanor Martin for 3630, which he alleges is due him as commis- sion for securing a tenant for property owned by them at the corner of Bryant and Second streets. T is a som plan for every bather to know ething of the soap he uses. There is a well-founded objection to using a floor-clean- ing soap upon the human body. Ivory Soap is the bather’s soap. It costs more than common soaps, but the difference is in the ingredients and making. Why not treat yourself with a little respect. Is not the human skin with its marvellous delicacy entitled to pure soap? Ivory Soap—it floats.. - ‘COPYRIGNT 1999 ¥ THE PROCTER & GAMBLE CO. CINCINNATY Assistant Pomologist Wanted.
