Our Public Schools.

The citizens of this city are and
should be proud of their public sch ools
in more ways than one. The appear
ance of the building and grounds do
credit to the community, the well kept
building inside from basement to roof,
the arrangement of rooms with regard
to classes and convenience and the corps
of teachers now installed, all these
things combined make for thit city one
of the best school systems in this part
of South Dakota.
1t will take visit to the building to
give one the full idea of the value of
our city schools. We have watched it
grow without fully realizing the extent
to which it has grown in the past few
years, but to stop and look back only
three years and then at the present the
changes will startle one. Three years
ago the old building was not large g.
nough to accommodate the school-going
children and new building containing
four large rooms was built. At that
time there were only nine teachers EN-.
ployed. This term starts out with
fourteen teachers and with every room
full or nearly so. Four hundred forty
eight children are now enrolled and to
judge from the usual growth toward
the winter months it is worrying the
superintendent how to handle them
This year the board are not allowing
any children to enter below the eighth
grade who are not residents OF the dist.
riot and it would be ont of the question
Reporter and farmer. [volume] (Webster, Day County, Dakota [S.D.]) 188?-1946, 1907-09-12

TO handle them should they be admitted
as before.
The high school has at the present
time so enrolled and with those who
have notified the superintendent that
they intend starting little later the
number will likely reach 100.
1t is the wish of the teachers that all
parents and all who are interested in
school work will call and visit the
school and see for themselves how the
present school is managed.
Pelow we give list of teachers, the
first five being high school instructors.
