Purpose is to Draw Teach, rs
and Pupils Into Closer Per-
sOnal Relationship.
Each Teacher to Look After
Twenty Pupils.
DATE FOR BASKETBALL GAME

The sponsor system, which has
been used with success by a number
Of college and High schools, has been
adopted by the faculty OF the High
school. The system went into effect
today and those interested in school
work will watch II closely to detect
any favorable results. The purpose
of the system is to bring about
closer relation of the teacher. pupil
and the home. Each teacher are as-|
signed about 20 pupils, who are SCI
lected from various classes. and "
will be her duty to consult and a.
wise the pupils, as well as encoura
them in their work. Any diderer
that arise may be settled by the So,
sor will be settled. blu the principal
benefit OF the plan IS to give the
pupils more personal attention.
With all of the students In the
study hall under no certain teacher.
and having each class with differ-
ent teacher. and in many instances
with different students, the personal
work OF the teacher is lost sight of.
This has been one objection to the
study hall. No teacher feels directly
responsible for the general welfare or
any certain pupils. and 1t is difficult
to bring about school spirit.
Superintendent ]. A. Carnagey and
Prof. w. II. sugg considered the pan
for several weeks before adopting IL
for a trial There are nine members
Of the faculty. and on the division
each teacher will have about twenty
pupils.
