Tonopah daily bonanza. [volume] (Tonopah, Nev.) 1906-1929, 1908-10-14


course is, for the first time i in the
history of the Tonopah high school,
being tried. The courses are so ar
ranged as to necessitate an average
of at least four hours of preparation
from the student of ordinary ability. /
With but four subjects in hand pupils |
are able to make half of this neces-
sary preparation in the school room.
They should devote, therefore, no less
than two hours of intensive study to
the preparation of lessons at home.
Those pupils who find it obligatory
to engage in outside work, and those
who are allowed to participate extern
siyely in social functions, will ordi-
narily be disappointed in an attempt
to complete the work satisfactorily.
Parents should have in mind that the
demands of the school upon the pu-
pills activities make it incompatible
for them to devote attention to mat
tiers foreign to the purpose of serious
study on the evenings of school days.
There is ample time to attend to all
matters, both school and social, prop
erly, if but proper judgment is used.
Parents should take it as an indica-
ton that child is not doing proper
work at school when an hour in the
grades from the fifth to the eighth,
inclusive, and at least an hour and a
half in the high school are not spent
in study at home The lower grades
should devote time to home study in
proportion to the amount of work
the grade requires and ability of the
child to carry said work.
From time to time the Bonanza
will publish school notes, embodying
thoughts and suggestions of the
teaching staff for the help of pupils
and patrons of the school
