Scho,.l Notes.


Public School regulations Adopted
by the Board of Education January
1911.
IC is hoped that all persons send
ing children to school will read with
special care the rules by which pupils
are to be governed, and we urge your
need of our cooperation in making
these rules productive of the best re-
suits to our schools. Our object is to
secure the greatest number OF pupils
school, hence IL it shall be
found that any of these rules are too
rigid, or not strong enough, necessary
notifications will be made, The
High School is fully accredited by The
State University, and the North
Central Association of Secondary
Schools and Colleges, which means
that it is among the best in the state.
The requirements are rigid, and In
order to maintain high efficiency the
parents of the pupils must cooperate
with the teachers to obtain regular
and punctual attendance, diligent
home study, and closs-application on
the part Of the pupils in the High
School. When pupil enters the
Ninth grade, his parents will select
the course of study he is to follow and
pupil will be required to adhere to it
unless changed to some other course
by the parent and superintendent.
To pass in any subject the pupil must
have made a grade of at least Is per
cent. To be classified with any grade
the pupil must not be behind the
grade more than one study. No pupil
will be allowed to participate in any
inter-school athletic sports who is not
M making passing grades in at least
three studies, and whose record for
the proceeding semester shows failure
in more than one subject. All pupils
take music and rhetoricals.
1t is very desirable that parents
visit the school and observe the actual
work of the classes. In no other way
can as good knowledge OF school
work and conditions be obtained, and
will go farther towards
the child in his work, or
the aid Of the parent. The
purpose of education is to give to the
body and the soul, all the beauty, and
all the perfection OF which they are
capable.
The Senior class plans to put out a
High School Annual this year.
