Moro School Offen
Contracts to Teachers
• The Moro school board has been
active in making plans for the
conning school year. R. G. Cunliff
has been re-elected principal and
other re-elections were Josephine
Cornacchia and Russell Hollina-
hcad, high school teachers; Rebg
Nye, junior high, Nellie Jackson,
grades 5 and 6; Mary Williams,
grades 3 and 4, and Effie Jack-
sen, primary.
The high school was subjected
to an inspection made recently by
D. A. Emerson of the State Dep’t
of Education. Mr. Emerson waa
very complimentary concerning the
school set up and general atmos­
phere, and found the*achool fulfill­
ing the requirements for a stan­
dard high school. Approval .wnn
also given with respect to the 7th
and 8th grade junior high errangp-
ment, which the Moro officials feel
has been s ' definite step fenrord
and it will be continued next yew
with further improvejnrnta.
If present plans are fulfilled the
high school and junior high cir-
riculum will be greatly hnprovedL,
next year by the addition of In­
dustrial Arts and Home Economic»
courses. Further information re­
garding these course^ will be mfide

completed. „
