F|N0L DECISION TO
Be MADE AFTER
: OPENING
Grand Forks High School Has
Reached a High State Of
Efficiency

The Grand Forks high school, which
has always been rated high among the
preparatory schools Of the northwest
as regards efficiency, will probably be
pushed up another notch shortly aft
'er the fall term opens on next Mon
day, when 1t is highly probable that
a normal branch will be started.
At the recent session of the legis-
lature, laws were passed making 1t
possible for pupils to take up teach
ing during their high school course
and SO that examinations taken at
the end of the four years. would en-
able them to secure q teachers GER
tificate without attending n OF the
state normal schools.
The question of establishing a nor
NAL branch of study in the local high
school will be decided after the open
ing of the scheel term next Monday.
A canvass will be made and II there
is a sufficient number to warrant 1t,
teachers will be secured a nd the
course offered. According to one OF
the school board members the whole
matter rests with the number OF stu
dents who will enroll. In case That
the department is added 1t is expect
ed that one or more teachers WILL be
added to the faculty of the high
school.
Domestic Science
That the high school is up to date
in every way is conceded by all, but
few Of the citizens realize what q
perfect and splendid equipment has
been installed in the domestic science
department. Approximately $4,000 was
expended in the purchase Of the
equipment and the board Of education
believes that not another high school
in the state and hardly another school
in the northwest has quarters equal
or better than those installed in the
local institution.
Non-burnable fibre and slate work
tables have been installed. A special
gas burner has been provided for each
girl in the classes and the entire
equipment Is the best that could be
purchased. The basement rooms on
the North Fourth street side OF the
Central school building have been re-
modelled and not only the cooking
class room has been fitted up but the
sewing room has also been arranged.
Both rooms are so situated that fine
light is secured.
Only One Change
Only one change has been made in
the faculty Of the high school for the
coming year and that was occasioned
by the resignation Of Prof. Albert j.
Loeb. His position as teacher Of his
tory has been filled. Paul H. Lehman,
who takes his place, is a man of thor
ough experience in his line Of work
and is a graduate Of Illinois state
normal school at Normal, Ill.
