Contest Progressing
The contest continues to pro
gress nicely, although the idea
that it might not close till late
in the summer has caused some
of the contestants and their
friends to "rest on their oars."
Now that a date has been defini
tely decided upon, and that date
earlier than at first intended, wo
shall expect to see the contest
boom from now till the close, 8
o'clock p. m., July 7th.
Nearly all the candidates have
made some progress during the
past week, some more than
others, but the relative positions
remain the same. Miss Geiger
has made the largest gain during
the week, Miss Snow the second
largest and Miss Boon third. A
new candidate appears this week.
Miss Jennie Sandoz of Stras
burger. Her name is at the
bottom of the list as published
today, but we miss our guess if
It is not near the top soon. "We
hope to add a number more to
the list during the coming week.

decided on a closing date somewhat earlier
than we first expected. At 8 oo o'clock,
Thursday evening, July 7th, 1910, the
contest will close. Although it is only a
little more than two months yet, there is
still sufficient time for new candidates to
get into the contest and forge to the front,
if thev will act immediately. We want to
see a dozen more enter the race within the
next week.

NORTON'S
SupWP ate Heads
A Alliance City, Schools
When it was learned that Supt. D.
W. Hayes had been elected president
of the Peru State Normal, the question
immediately arose as to who would
tal;e his place as superintendent of the
Alliance city schools. Without con
sultation with others, our mind in
tutivelv. as it seemed, turned to Supt.
Pate of the Sidney city schools, and it
was with much pleasure that wo
learned Saturday evening that ho wns
the unanimous choice of the school
board for the position.
Mr. Pate is the logical successor to
Supt. Hayes, as we might say. He is
well qualified for the position by
native talent, education and experi
ence. Having ussisted in the Alliance
SUT W. It. PATH.
Stute Junior Normal a number of
years he is already ucquuinted with a
ijood many of our citizens, particularly
the teachers und others most interested
in school work.
The Sidney school board desiied to
retain him as superintendent und had
already offered hitn a considerable In
crease In salary for next year, but as
his election to the superintendency of
the Alliance city schools was in the
line of promotion, they kindly, al
though reluctantly, consented to re
lease him. It is a foregone conclusion
that he will make u success here us he
has in Sidney.
Prof. G. II Williams was re-elected
principal of the High school, but has
not yet fully decided whether he will
accept the posit!6n for another year.
We sincerely hope that he w(H see his
way ' clear to do so. Other teachers
were elected, us follows:
High school building: Lnla E Wirt,
assistant principal; Ida II. .Johnson,
normal training and English; Earl L.
Meyer, at present principal of a ward
school at Fairbury, Nebr., history,
civics and athletics; Maine J. White,
eighth grade:AnnaFeidler,eighthgrade
with High school work.
Central school- Elda F. Uacon, prin
cipal and seventh grade; Lena Rlddell,

Ruby Ashmore, second und third

Teacher for domestic science and
I manual training, and supervisor of
music and drawing Have not been
elected. We understand that Miss
Llchty, the present supervisor of musio
and drawing, would have been re
elected had she not informed the board
that her acceptance for another year
would be doubtful, hence the matter
wns deferred
Wo consider it fortuuute for the
public schools of this city that nearly
all of the present teachers have been
secured for another year, and we doubt
not that those who have been engaged
for their first years work here will
render satisfactory service. We are
glad to welcome thorn on behalf of the
patrons of the schools.
Woman's Club Elects Officers

Same Old Tricks
The Herald dislikes very much to
call down a contemporaty, but it has
fallen to this paper repeatedly to stand
up for Alliance by cnirectiiig published
liiisBtutemetitF, and however disagree
able the task, we shall continue to do
so to the extent thut wo believe is
right and for the good of the town.
Recent! the Madison, Nebraska,
Post mqdu a i-currilous altuck on a
leading busiiHss iniiti of Alliance. In
regard to the law suit Inch was the
occasion foi makiuc the attack we have
nothing to say at this titno, in view of
the fact Mh.it the cast is nnt vt
(dgcided b the coin t li which it was
iiicu; um wo iienevo it is our duty to
de-tionnco the Post's slurs as uncalled
fur and unjust. Qui detiunciatiou
would be the s.ime had tho diatribe
been directed against the other party
to the ftiit.
As not manv uf our readers would
see the at tide nbovo referred to in the
paper in which it-was first published,
we probably would have paid no at
tention to it had not the editor of the
other Alliance paper, in keeping with
his policy of slurring those who hnppen
to incur his displeasure, last week
published the Post's at tide.
