Largo Enrolment.

The enrolment by classes will be
as follows: Seniors, 6; Juniors;
sophomores. az. freshmen. 81: mid
year cTass. "A All students are
classified according to the number of
credits earned regardless of the time
they havA been in attendance.
This furnishes an absolutely fair
test of the students ability and is the
system in use at Harvard and other
large universities. By this plan a
bright student may complete his
course I'm three or three and one
half years, while the slower student
may have four or even five years.
Heretofore student enterprises have
been the work Of the students alone,
but beginning with this semester the
faculty committees will cooperate
with them in all such work. thus
forming a closer union between stu
dents and instructors.
Two New Movements.
In addition ot the splendid work
done by our debating clubs and liter
airy societies the Pendleton high schooi
has taken the initiative in two very
important matters, namely: a state
debating league and a state high
school athletic league. Uniform re-
quirements in class work, morals and
training are some of the things which
will be discussed and adopted by these
leagues.
There will probably be an eastern
and western division Of each s'ate
league and the winners of these two
divisions will contest for the state
championship.
The students manifest a good dispo-
sition. are willing workers, and in.

Pendleton. Ore, Sept. 7.-(Editor
East Oregonian) Am eminent writer
once said that the real test of ma
tons greatness is not in her army,
not in her navy, not in her natural re-
sources, but in the kind of men and
women that she turns out.
The public school is the laboratory
in which the men and women of the
future are turned out. The boys and
girls of today become the men and
women of tomorroy. So close is the
relation between the public schooi
and the people that the government
has provided for the maintenance of
free school system in each state of
the union. as one thing necessary to
the welfare of all the people.
Nowhere is this sentiment more
manifest than here in Pendleton. The
people by their representatives, the
board of education, have provided a
course of 12 years work. The
growth of the system will be very ap-
parent to many of the old settlers
who were given three or four months
schooling each year until they were
old enough to work.
Our high school this year will be
the strongest in the history of this in
stitution. Nexer before has such an
aggregate of degrees and post-gradu-
ate credits been accredited to our
faculty. Each instructor has been
trained for his special line of work
and has had the benefit of several
years experience.
The student body will be the larg-
est ever enrolled here. The number
will be approximately 200. Only two
high schools in this state have a
greater nroIlment-Portland and Eu-
gene, but the latter is used as the
preparatory department for the State
university. and is not properly includ-
ed in the list.
