BERNESCHOOLS 1 ADD A TEACHER Increased Work Makes Addition To Faculty Necessary; New Pupils Berne, Jan. 17.—Because of the increasing work that is being caused by the mid-winter promotions the Board of Education of the Berne schools has found it necessary io hire another teacher to handle the extra work. The board has been fortunate to secure C. A. Smith, of Frankfort, who will be the additional teacher in the local hjgh school in history and mathematics. Because of the mid-winter promotions there will be quite a number of pupils who will enter the high school in the body of a new Freshman class. Au advancement will also be made by a number of present Freshmen into a new Sophmore class. These new groups must naturally take the beginners work in these respective classes and therefore new classes'must be started which demands the help of an additional teacher. Mr. Smith is at present engaged as a life insurance agent in Frankfort. He 1? a graduate of Wabash College ami has taken post graduate work in the University of Illinois. He comes to 11'me highly recommended by prominent school officials and the Berne board feels they have secured the proper man to fill this new Upaltion. Mr. Emith has had sixteen years of experience In the t-aehing profession and has held principalship positions In Indiana and Illinois. His last position was at Attica in 1921 where he served as principal of the Attica high School. He has made a good record in his teaching career and will no doubt, be a strong pillar in the local faculty. Mr .Smith is a married man mid has a family of two children and is about 12 years of age. It is expected that he will come to Berne over the week end. however, it is not known whether or not he will bring his family to Ihme. His duties in the local school will begin with the opening of the second semester next Monday morning. The pupils of the Berne schools, with the exception of those wUo were fortunate enough to be exempted, began with the fanal exams of the first semester yesterday morning. —— o SEVERE COLD HITS CHICACO Three Killed In A Blinding’ Snowstorm; Five Degrees Below Zero Chicago, Jan. 17.—Three person* were killed by street cars here in a blinding snowstorm that accompani cd th<- second extreme ••old wave of th" season in th«- middlewest.
