Instructors, Etc.
Hope State High school opens
September 4 under the most au-
spicious conditions, with better
equipment and facilities for in
struction than ever before in the
history of our school.
According to the state depart
ment, this is one of the three best
schools in the state and with the
hearty cooperation of the par
ents, students and teachers, it
can easily be raised to the highest
standard of scholarship, discip-
line and usefulness. The success
orfailure of any system of schools
depends as much upon the con
stituents as upon the equipment
and faculty. Therefore we earn
estly and sincerely request those.
who have the best interests Of
our school at heart to contribute
their support and visit the insti-
tuition when it is in operation in
order that they may see what is
being done for the children as a
whole.
Physical, botanical, chemical
and geological laboratories have
been installed and a very COM
plete line of apparatus for same
have been purchased for imme-
diate use, this apparatus being
one of the requisites for first
classification. This equipment
will render instruction easier and
more efficient. In this apparatus
are found a valveless air pump
and Wimhurst electrical machine,
two Of the best pieces of mech
anism in the scientific market
today.
An electric gong has been in
stalled for fire drills and other
purposes. Asystematic fire drill
will be begun Immediately and
practice drill will be given at least
twice a week. Then. too, this
drill is considered by educators
as a splendid means of discipline
and a great safeguard in emer-
gency.
The eastroom on the south side
of the basement has been finished
for a laboratory for the High
school. With this room and the
apparatus we shall have a labora
tory second to none among the
classified schools.
New furniture for the library
and High school Office has been
purchased and gives these quar-
tiers dignifed and university ap-
pearance.
Our faculty consists of strong

Minnesota, a yonng lady with
