| In every room OF the city system
of schools there will be something In
the nature of a Thanksgiving program
+ These programs, together with the eX-
hibit which each room is to have on
display, viii be sufficient to interest
parents all over the city. 1t Is good
thing for patrons to come about the
schools. 1t is good for them TO know,
at first hand, what is going on. This
day offers good opportunity and
the programs offer a good excuse
for any who think an excuse is need
ed.
The teachers have prepared the
second course of study and have sub
mitted it to the superintendent. This
mas been a very helpful piece OF work
and its fruits ought TO be seen In
the improved methods of every teach
or. The reading of school journals
and professional literature is to- be
encouraged as never before. Already,
more has been done in this line than
many teachers d. in two or three
years. However, the four volume
course of study in public school
methods is just well begun. There
is yet one more lesson in the study
of language.
The hammering on the high school
building still echoes through the
rooms, and soon the building is look
better than it has ever looked before.
The third ward mothers club is
not only planning but has begun the
best piece of work in it's history. Nine
pictures are to be placed in each
room. A pupil will thus have one
masterpiece to study each month
throughout his school career of eight
years. There will be no duplication
in any case, but the study will be
carefully graded thus the pupil will
have studied nine of the works of the
great masters each year, which will.
in the eight years of the grade work,
mean an acquaintance with seventy
two masterpieces OF the worlds paint
ing, and with their authors.
After this year there will, it is now
planned, be Il four-year high school
course offered. This change will be
welcomed by most and will ultimate
ly be approved by all. Already, some
of the senior class of this year are
planning to remain here another ses
sion and complete their high school
work with four-year course.

This season has been one of which
any school may well be proud. When
one remembers that this is the first
season in a half dozen or more, that
the team has not broken up or been
broken up long before the season had
ended and when he remembers too
that this Is the first year for three or
more, that football has had a iHi'
