"
Monday, September 4. with a corps OF
90 teachers. Last year there were 27
teachers. Of the two added this year
one will be grade teacher and the other
placed in the High school. Thus there
will be four teachers this year devotng
all their time to the High school, which
will occupy most of the second floor of
the H. $. building. The High school
course of study in the past has been
set course allowing no choice on the part
Of the pupils in selecting their studies.
This has now been changed. Certain
studies will still be required of those who
expect to graduate; but about half the
work will be elective. Latin and Ger
man will still be offered to those desiring
them, but neither will be required for
graduation. 1t will now be possible
from the large number Of subjects offered,
for students to graduate from the High
scnool without either taking Latin or
German. by choosing their work entirely
along the lines OF History, English,
Mathematics and Science. Students
preparing for college must elect their
work to meet the requirements OF the
college which they expect to enter.
While the local High school prepares it's
students to enter the higher institutions
of learning, it recognizes the fact that
the "High school is the poor mans col.
lege," 80 it gives good, general educa.
ton to those whose formal training must
end with the public schools. 1t prepares
for intelligent citizenship. Students who
do not intend to graduate may take elec.
tive studies from any of the regular
courses upon consultation with the su-
perintendent of city schools. or the prin.
cipal. of the High school.
With the many advantages added to
the High school this year. the board ex-
poets q much larger enrolment than
ever before. Anyone desiring to enter
the school next month or later, should
write Supt. H. NJ. Cook for q copy of the
course OF study. He will also gladly as
sist pupils from out Of town to secure
good rooming and boarding places. The
holders Of Eighth grade diplomas in the
village and country schools are admitted
to the High school upon presentation Of
such diploma. All such students through
out the country are invited to attend and
will be heartily welcomed. Their needs
will be carefully looked after.
Miss Deda Gilmore is the only one
OF last years corps remaining. Her excel
lent work last year is we'll known. She
will have charge Of the Latin and assist in
other subjects. The board exercised
much care in the selection of the new
teachers an feel that those secured are
in every way competent and worthy.
All are college graduates and have had
previous successful experience in teach.
