 knOw that the High School is main taincd at the public expense. How
 ever, but few know os it's administra- ten and curriculum. The high school was organized taTee years ago. ana maintains a course of study which | its its graduates to enter the Terri torial and Normal schools without conditions. The school offers a col lege preparatory. scientific and com mercial course. In add ton there are also courses n domestic science and manuel training. Over twenty-five promotions from the grammar grades at the beginning of the second se mester has increased the enrolment of tho high scooI that amount. The high school register shows a total enrolment of one hundred and tCrty-seyen of which number one number enc hundred and twenty-one are in attendance. Some have with. drawn from school to enter business employment, one on account of poor health. two have been chosen as life companions. Three left on account of
 ind ference. while ten have moved away from Bisbee. The visitors for the past five months, number one hundred and out of these only fifteen
 have been patrons of the school.
 Seemingly the patrons are satisfied
 with the reports their children make about the high school. The h'gh
 school assembly room accommodates
 one hundred and eight The other pu-
 pils are given desks in a rec;tatIon room and floated in the assembly during the study period Of their pro
 grams. During the first half year the
 pupils accomplished ninetythree per cent of the work they attempted.
 Each pupil is required 10 pursue four regular studies and many are per
 mtted to take five regular stud 'eS.
 Manuel training, domestic science, drawing and music are required and icspeciuliy good results are obtained
 in these pursuits. The regular curric- ulum offers the following studies: English and Latin four years. Ger man and Spanish two years each. Al zebra and Geometry one and one half years each. TrisOnOmetTy one hOT year. History three and onc-haT years, Civics and Political Economy lone half year each. Botany. Physics and Chemistry one year Cacn. ZgOlrg, Physiology and Physical Geography CuGhsii ygar Caca. Bookkeeping one year StCnCEraghy and Typswr5,'7s two years each.

 The school has organized into four classes. each of which have rzgUlal officers and meet regularly with a teacher jn charge The Football. Basketball. Track and Baseball teams are under the authority of the Athletic association, of which any p,l- ! pill paying twenty-fice cents alndal

 Declamatory contests will be held
 in the near future and a play will be stsgsd at the close of the scnooI term. The students of the high school hold the first and second medals from the Declamseory Contest held at the TemDe Normal schcol The several
 classes arc allowed to hold school
 parties in the school building on Fri day and Saturday evenings Cnly. The h'gl school library Is we'll suppl ed
 with choice literature and reference
 books and are in constant hse by the pupils. it also afforjs an excellent
 Opportunity for supplementary WorE
 in all subjects.
 The benfit derived from the pur- suit of high school course Of study
 need not be emphasized. but the
 need of building capac'ty to accom-
 modate the administrator cf the Bis
 bee high school Is imperative. Bis
 bee is proud of her h'gh school. she
 invites honest criticism and compar .
 son with other high schools. While
 tLVre Is much to be attained in educa-
 tio-aI lines. yet she feels that a
 strrt has been made is establishing
 the foundation for high school prop
 CT, that shall be second to none in
 the Southwest. Parents and friends
 are cordially invited to visit the high
 school by the teachers during any of
