lege. The present courses are es-
sentially college preparatory. and
will be maintained as in the past;
thus the interests Of all students
will be cared for in the most
thorough manner. Any pupil who
has completed the eighth grade. and
is legal resident OF Otero county is
eligible to enter any course without
tuition. The work of the CONNER
cisl department will be under the
direction Of . special teacher. and
will include the following subjects:

tic. commercial geography. COM
