J. P. Rier

✓ Supported by a sourceAn account exists

The Clarke Courier's list of teacher appointments for the 1925-26 session, printed July 9, 1925, names J. P. Rier as principal of the Millwood colored school, and the Courier of October 15, 1925, reporting that the local arrangements for showings of public health pictures would be under the direction of the principal of each school, names him for Millwood on November 3 in its schedule for the colored schools.

What the source supports

That J. P. Rier was named principal of the Millwood colored school for the 1925-26 session, and was to direct the local arrangements for its public health showing that November.

Uncertainty

Read from uncorrected OCR, not from the page image. The list records appointments announced for the session, not who taught during it. The schedule names places, not schools, and gives no titles; that the people named were to direct the local arrangements follows from the item's statement about each school's principal. Whether the showing took place is not reported here. Millwood in the schedule for the colored schools is read as the Millwood colored school, whose principal the July list names as Rier.
