FIRST CLASS HIGH SCHOOL

We haye several times announced
with some pride that Perrysburg has
ONE of the THREE First Glass High
Schools in Wood county and yet it is
not, perhaps, well understood what
the requirements for First Glass
High School are. Our citizens should
remember that Bowling Green has
FIVE instructors for her two four-year
courses and North Baltimore has
THREE instructors for her ONE four
year course This will help people to
see how much work our two in
structors must do, if the First Class
Standard is kept up.
Two years ago ouls was only a
Second Glass High School but the
ADDITION of some courses and the EX-
TENT1oN of those already in the school
Z have greatly increased the work of
both students and teachers. Physics
used to haye three months time-now
it is years course. The German
courses and the Latin have been eX-
tended to meet the requirements.
Botany and plant analysis has been
put into the course, besides these,
other courses have been extended SO
that the required work would not fall
below the Standard, and all this re-
quires additional work and time of in
structors. The recitation period for
each branch should not be less than
45 minutes, but under the present ar
rangement it cannot be and some are
only 30 minutes. This must mean a
loss to pupils and lowering of the
Standard. The question which faces
the School Board is this:-Shall we
attempt to keep our High School
FIRST Glass, or lower it to SECOND
Glass?
At some other time we shall pub
lish comparison of the work re-
quired of First, Second and Third
Glass High Schools. 1t is well known
that GRADUATES are not graduates in
name only but that diplomas now
are valuable in proportion to Hthe
grade of the school,
