STATE CALLS AND HIGH SCHOOL LOSES ABLE TEACHER

Miss Mable Atwood,, who has been supervisor of the Home Economics department of the public schools in this city for the past five years, has been notified of her appointment as state factory inspector of Indiana and will start work Monday under the supervision of the Industrial Board of Indiana. The work is in connection with the women’s and children’s department and is for the betterment of working conditions among women and children in the factories of the state. The position carries with it an attractive salary. The offer first came to Miss Atwood shortly after her return here last fall to take up her work, but was refused at that time. The offer, which came entirely unsolicited, was again made at the beginning ‘of the present year, and Miss Atwood recently sought to obtain a release from her. school work that she might accept it, providing a teacher could be secured to fill the vacancy caused by her resignation. The school and the community will feel distinctly the loss of a very efficient and popular teacher, but will be pleased to know of the honor paid Miss Atwood by the offer, and of the opportunities afforded her in this new field of service.
