Friday, 6 Sep 1912--SCHOOL OPENS--The Higbee Public School opened Monday with an enrollment of 289, the largest in the school's history, with Thos. L. Warford in temporary charge as superintendent, owing to the resignation of John Bradley, the latter having to give up the position on account of impaired health. Mr. Warford has taught several terms in the school, is thoroughly acquainted with the scholars and conditions, and so far has things going as usual. He will not be an applicant for the place, we learn, as he has arranged to enter a St. Louis school of pharmacy this fall. The school board is very anxious to employ a superintendent at the earliest possible date, and to that end have written to the various Normals and the University in the hope of finding a competent teacher of experience. The place pays $90 per month. Friday, 6 Sep 1912--The opening of the colored school, owing to the resignation of L. B.
