The Fort Benton high school is on
the state accredited list and graduates

tutions OF higher learning without
further examination, and in fact are
admitted to the best universities and

The authorities, wherever possible,
alternate subjects yearly 90 az to in.
crease the size OF the classes and re-
duce the number of classes. The fol.
lowing subjects will be given this year
by the teachers named:
Mr.. Lenning-plane geometry, solid

Three courses, each of four years,
are given-classical, scientific and
commercial. The work is done &C.
cording to the outline furnished by
the state board of education. No
special courses are given. Each
student on entering must show salts.
factory evidence of itness-an eighth
grade diploma or credentials from an
accredited school. Then a definite
course must be chosen and pursued
in the order outlined.
The board of trustees has never
charged tuition to pupils who belong
outside of the district. We believe
that q child either in the grades or
high school will find that the condi.
tions and advantages offered will
compare favorably with any of the
schools OF like grade in the state.
