SUTTON Credit for Up-Building of Schools Given Where It BelongsCounty High School Notes: At a meeting of Enterprise school board Saturday, Prof. W. M. fciutton was re-engaged as principal for the school year iuo-u, at, a salary ot 135 a month; Mrs. B. L. Sutton as teacher at $65 a month, and Miss Marie Church as teacher at 1570 a mouth. The vote in favor of retaining these teachers was unanimous. The retention of Prof. Sutton meets with practically unanimous approval of the patrons of the school. Under his leadership the Enterprise schools have become the pride of the citizens, who claim with nood reason there' fre no better in the state. In everv respect they are excellent, and the credit is given where it belongs, to Prof. Sutton, even by those who were loudest a year ago in the cry for his removal. . Another Wist Action. -The county high school bonid has re engaged Prof. W. E. Moore as principal for another year at a salarv of 1125 a month, the contract covering a period of nine months. One or two members were for a "cheaper" man or had a per. sonal friend to advance, but the major ity was in favor of Prof. Moore, who in five months has organized an institution ont of hate, distrust and sectional jealousy that is the pride of every true citizen of Wallowa county and is already favorably known all over Eastern Ore gon. Prof, - Moore has been jut the man for the place, and the cause of education in this county has been ad vanced wonderfully by his work. At a meeting of the high school board, Tuesday, the question of accepting the recently printed teachers' manual and courses of study was disposed of nega tively. The board claims the work is full of gross errors and is otherwise not according to contraot. The printer is offered the privilege of doing . the work over, subject to the approval of the .board. -. "' "It wavdfed to purchase piano. ' A Walk wa firm has a piano at school on trial, for which it asks $400. The chair man of the board is opposed to the buy ing of that instrument without inves tigation as the make is unknown to Miss DuFur, high school music teacher, or anyone else competent to judge that he has questioned. . County High School Notes. F. A. DePue and several of the public school pupils viniud the high school Monday. Several of the teachers who were Uklng the county examination were visitor at the high school last week. This week ended the fifth month ol school. A monthly report is sent each parent showing the work done by the pupil. A permanent record is kept of the school so that it may be used as a reference hi after years. Judge O. M. Corkins, Frank A. Reavis, W. C. Wilson and John Kerns, all members of the county high school board, spent all of Thursday forenoon visiting the different departments of the school. Supt. Reran made a strong- talk on behalf of tbe board, which was full of sound advice aud an inspiration to all who beard It. M effort will be made to have the public library of Enterprise placed in the principal's office at the county high school building. In case this arrangement can be made the library will be loaned to the school. The principal will be responsible for Us safe-keeping and proper use under specified regulations. The public as well as the pupils will have access to the combined library of the town and the school. If satisfactory arrange ments can be made a complete set of rules and regulations for governing the library will l:e adoptsd by the trustees of the town library and the nigh school board. It Is probable that a six w eeks teach ers normal will be maintained at the county high school this summer. The purpose will be to prepare the teachers for the August examination and give a thorough review iu tbe common school branches The subjects for first grade certificates will also be taught. This six weeks term will not be main tainedat the expense of the couuty high school fund but a small tuition will be charged to cover the actual expense. An effort Is being; made to secure Prof. It. L. Truverof Monmouth to assist in the work. High Sohool ?per. Tbe Eagle Cap Is to be a school paper, published quarterly by tbe studenU of tbe Walluwa, county high school, under the direct supervision of the faculty. It will be devoted to the educational interests of Wallowa county. Its aim will Ik- to promote the interests of all the schools of this county and this section, of 'the state. The subject mntter will lie such as will Interest the public in general. The editorials at all times will he sound, reasonable aud alxtve mere criticism and fault finding. Tim in not a money making scheme; no one is to derive any U-iietU finan cially , the receipts will be used in defraying tho actual expenses of pub lication and all money over and ttbove such expenses will be placed to the credit of the paper. Continued on last pago. Ready For Debate With The Dalles The members of the county high j debating team, Eula For- school sythe, Amy Olmsted and Fred Holmes, accompanied by Prof. W. E.
