FAIR OAKS SCHOOLS.

School opened Monday, September 6, with an enrollment of about one hundred. The Freshmen carried off the honom in point’ of num- . bers, there being fifteen of that notorious gang. The Sophomores come second with fourteen. There will be five or six to graduate from the Senior class. The Sophomores have some recruits in Edna Toons, of New Albany, and Julia Henry of Parr. Miss Toops is a sister of Mrs. A. C. Campbell. The students are taking hold of their work with a spirit that is admirable. The Freshies failed to get their customary initiation in Latin the past week owing to the absence of a Latin teacher. Mrs. Brouhard is again in charge of the Primary room. Mrs. Brouhard is one of the kind that never gets stale or- sour, and we -are mighty glad to see her back. Mrs. Kanne, the new intermediate. teacher, is starting out in a way that bespeaks a year of very efficient work. Welcome to our family, Mrs. Kanne! Miss Hanson, our new Domestic Science teacher, is starting things off with a vim that has her Sophomore girls keyed up to a high pitch. Miss Hanson hails from Minnesota. Miss Jones, our new mathematics teacher, calls Danville, Hl., her home. She goes about her work with an assurance and thoroughness that commands attention.
