Mr. M. A. Arnold is to have charge of the public school here. As to his capabilities, we have yet to witness a trial of them, but believe that he is fitted for his responsible duty. At any rate he has our warmest sympathies in his new field of labor. We were a “teachist” once, ourself, and appreciate the solemn and responsible nature of the calling. We may from time to time drop in and see how our school progresses, and tell our readers thereof.
