SCHOOL WORK FOR
COMING YEAR.

VVW44AVV 4AkAxNs
With more old teachers returning
than ever before, the prospects for
a good school year are very bright.
The following is a list of teachers
who will participate in the school
work of I.ynden's public schools dur
ing the coming year: Miss Caro-
line Cole, LIST grade; Miss Hama Nc
Mahon, End grade; Miss Amy Vail.
End A and 3rd b; Miss Lucille
Chambers. 3rd grade: Miss Edith
Harris, 4th grade; Miss Mabel Plank :.
9th grade; Miss Mabel Jordan, 9Th
grade: Miss Stuart, 7th grade. The
9Th grade and high school will be
in charge of Miss Eva Cole, Mr..
William Fisher, Miss Barbara Drum
Miss lone Fenton, Mr.. l.. c. Wright
and superintendent p. A. Wright.
A new plan will be used this
year in regard to the eighth grade
work. Instead of having regu-
lar eighth grade teacher. each Of
the high school teachers will take
a portion of that work. Under the
old system the majority of boys
and girls would plan to complete
the eighth grade. but would stop
there, thinking of high school as
something far away and hard to
get. Under the new plan, it will, in
fact make the eighth grade part
OF the high school. The pupils
will come in closer contact with
high school ideas. and will receive
better instruction because they will
have the benefit of the teachers
specialization.
The course in bookkeeping has
been changed to the Bliss system.
BY adopting this system. the school
board receives over a hundred dol
lars worth of office supplies free
OF charge. No business college in
Bellingham has as complete a set
OF office supplies as will belong to
the Lynden schools. The course
Is laid out for two years work, and
the pupil is taught all sides of the
work Six wholesale offices and Q
bank will be- maintained. and the a
gents and clerks in these offices
will 20 through actual business
transactions every day with other
bookkeepers on the outside. This
course will be taught by Mr.. l.. c.
Wright. I
In agriculture outside of the
regular years work for the eighth
grade, an advanced course will be
given In the high school. In this
course the pupil will be taught the
plan Of cooperation as shown by
the Lynden store. The advantages
and plans of the Berry Growers
Association will be taken up, and
during the year 1t Is planned to-
take trips to different farms near
by where the pupil may study at
close range, dairy herds, chickens,
horses, hogs. and in fact everything
that pertains to farm life.
1t Is planned to make several ad-
ditiOns and improvements in the do
nestle science department of the
schools. Miss Stuart will have this
work in charge, and the class room
will be provided with Individual
stoves and dishes sufficient to make
the serving of luncheon possible.
1t Is not guaranteed to make excel
lent cooks out of every student TAX
Ing this course. but there is the
higher aim of eliminating the ele-
ment of drudgery and distaste from
every day cookery. Domestic Sci
ence properly taught is not the Gre
ating of new and dainty dishes. but
should teach a girl how to prepare
q good. wholesome meal at as small
u cost as possible.
Monday. September End, will be
given over to teachers meetings
and arrangements for work. Pu-
pills will report for work on Tues
day. 1t may be we'll, however, for
any upper grade pupil who is un-
decided in regard to his work to-
see one OF che teachers on Monday
and get matters settled as fully as
possible so as to occasion no de-
lay on Tuesday.
