Dundee Hawkeye: - At the meeting of the boarti of education Thursday evening, nupt of Schools E. C. Fisher was re-engaged and the various com­ mittees appointed. It seems probable that very few changes will be made in the teaching corps, the good work of the past year proving the capability of the various instructors. The retention of Supt. Fisher is especially gratifying. He has worked hard to bring our schools to their present high standing and is entitled to the thanks of, the en­ tire community. Dundee is indeed fortunate in being able to retain Mr. Fisher for another year, insuring not only a continuance of present condi­ tions, but advancement along estab­ lished lines and the opening up of new fields and the placing of our schools on a still higher round of the educational ladder, in all of which the superintend­ ent has had and will continue to have the backing and support of the best board of education in the state of Illi­ nois.
