HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

A new school called the Wausau
industrial school has commenced
work in this city. This school is for
all young ladies and gentlemen who
wish to attend. There will be day
and a night session of the school.
Boys and girls over is years of age
may attend the night school. The
subjects for the students to select
from are many, such as English,
stenography, bookkeeping, mathe-
matics, electrical work, etc. Mr.
Kraatz, vino has charge of the depart
ment for boys and Miss Hanna. Brun-
stad who has charge of the depart
ment for girls in the industrial school
are both making a canvass of the los
boys and 80 girls now working in the
various business houses of our city
and who are between the ages of
fourteen and sixteen years. The two
departments are taught separately
The department for boys being held
in the Lincoln building while the one
for girls will be held in the cd Grant
school as soon as the necessary equip
ment arrives here; meanwhile it's reci-
tations are being held in the high
school after $3.50 p. m. This school
will most certainly give great oppor-
tunity to those boys and girls who are
not able to attend our public schools
and every one who knows of this
ought to think seriously of attending.
During the first three Gays of school
last week, many of the students in
the high school were troubled with
conflicts. 1t was necessary for Mr..
Painter to change several of the rec
itation periods for various studies to
different periods so that all seniors
who expect to graduate next June
could carry studies which are required
by the school to graduate.
There are about forty new teachers
in the public schools this year, in
GLIDING six new high school
teachers, the Misses Todd, VanVliet,
and Smithies and the Messrs. Wolf,
Monroe and Day. Miss Smithies, the
new teacher of Latin, has been a resi-
dent OF our city during summers
for several years, living with her
sister, Mrs. j. A. Rowley. She taught
at Stevens Point last year.
About thirty boys have gotten out
for foot ball this year and have been
practicing faithfully every fair af-
ternoon the past week. The practice
is getting livelier every day and it is
expected that a game will be played
between those that are out for the
team and the High School Alumni.
There are number of last years
foot ball team in school this year and
who will probably be in the first team
this fall-Talbot Montgomery, Capt,
Carl Eggebrecht, Carl Schmidt and
Alfred Schultz. The chances certainly
look fine for good team and if the boys
work as they have been in trying to
get in shape they will assuredly have
a champion team. Mr.. Wolf has
charge of the foot ball squad this
year.
Up to the time that the PILOT goes
to press the nearest figure to the total
number of pupils enrolled in the high
school is 500. 1t is probable that
there will be upwards of fifty or
seventy more pupils when the enroll |
ment count has been fully completed. |
About lis boys and girls entered |
the high school as freshmen this year.
Professor w. L. Westerman of |
Ancient History of the University of |
Wisconsin has just completed a new
history named, ''The Story or Ancient
a copy of this history has
Just arrived in our school. Professor
Westerman is now the husband of |
Miss Davies who taught German here
two years ago.
Mr.. Painter has changed the seats of |
every boy and girl in the assembly |
