the school bell will be heard which
to many will bring glad tidings and
bright visions of future achievements
The coming school year promises
to be one of the best in the history
of the school. The aim of the board
of education has been to secure the
very best teachers obtainable. An in
spection of the roll of teachers will
show that the staff is made up of
efficient, progressive teachers and
that the plan of instruction is meant
to be thorough.
In school work, as in all other
phases Of life, there can be nc stand
ing still; either improvement must
be made or the school will necessarily
drift away from the true standard.
The Board of Education, superintend-
important parts to perform in making
the school a success. A harmonious
working together of all these factors
is absolutely necessary to the ac-
complishment of the best results.
Prof. Browning, our new superin-
tendent states that while he appre-
ciates the marked degree of success
reached by the Brookings public
schools, his aim in administering the
affairs of the school is not alone to
develop bright and shining lights in
the intellectual world, but to help the
boys and girls grow in the right di-
rection, help them grow strong and
self-reliable, sensible and efficient,
earnest and cheerful, sympathetic
and helpful.
The work of the teacher and the
value of an education were eve
more appreciated by the adult mind
than they are now. The young man
or m who enters the business
world today must do so in competi-
ton with those who are well prepared
for their work. In order to succeed
they must seek the best possible
preparation.
We believe the Brookings high
school offers the best possible edu-
cational advantages for the large per
cent of our boys and girls who are
not permitted to enter college as well
as offering to each and every pupil
desiring to continue his work in col
lege or university to enter the same
without conditions. Students wishing
to enter college should determine
early in his high school course what
college he will enter, since our u
SEES are so largely elective. Pupils
and parents are earnestly requested to
confer with the superintendent and
principal in regard to the ourse pur-
sued. Much valuable time can be
saved by careful selection of courses.
The superintendent and high school
principal will be at the high school
building all of next week from 8 a.
m. till noon Of each day, and they will
be pleased to confer with parents at
any time during the week; by advis-
ing and c%ounseling with you they are
better able to get a clear understand
ing of the needs of your individual
boy or girl.
In order that the work may be
planned for the year before the open
ing day, the Senior class will meet
the superintendent and high school
principal at the high school building
Tuesday, August 20 at $50 a. m. The
Freshman class will meet Wednesday,
August 80 at $50 a. m. All pupils
having completed the eighth grade as

county superintendent, either by GER
tifcate or otherwise. may be admit
ted without examination. Pupils from
