school has broken the records for the
second week of the term and showed
| Thursday morning 105 names enrolled.
Quite number of these are from 9TH
er districts than No s, which includes
the city of Wallace and it is known
that there are still several who will
enter school within the next few days.
The seating capacity of the high school
has been taxed and already it has been
necessary to add one row of seats for
the accommodation Of the large classes.
Last year the highest enrolment at one
time was 81, and that was the largest
number of students that had attended
this department up to that time.
The grades are we'll filled and new
pupils are being added daily. Among
them are many who have not attended
school i'm Wallace in the past indicat-
ing the presence of new families in
Wallace. There are now enrolled in
the grades 355 pupils, and while this
years. 1t is larger than had been anti
cipated at this time AS in the high
school, there are many from other dis
tricts.
The close Of the second week finds
the students settled down to work and
without exception the teachers note a
spirit Of industry and earnestness that
is gratifying in the extreme.
Manual training work has been un-
dertaken by the boys of the fourth
grade for the first time. The little fell
lows are enthusiastic and the plan
gives promise of being more than sue
cessful. Professor Johnson, the man
ual training instructor states that all
are deeply interested in the work and
doing even better than might have
pertinent. but if 1t is found that the
interest is maintained 1t will be made
permanent.
Manual training for the girls Of the
grades up to the fifth is also being
made new feature. The efforts Of
the pupils will be confined to bas-
kerry, weaving, etc, while from the
fifth grade up the regular sewing
course will be given.
The class in chemistry is a large one
partment is one that also has a larger
number than it has heretofore had,
even with the term more advanced.
Interest in .~---et;cs MARKED.
The entire school displays a marked
interest in athletic matters. The boys
to whom the school is looking to up
hold It's honor on field and track are
out every evening. and are now prac-
ticing for football exclusively They
make q highly creditable showing and
the coach. Professor Utterback. is con-
fdent that he will be able to select a
good, strong well balanced team
At a meeting Of the high school
student body, called for the consider
alton of athletic matters, held in the
assembly room Monday afternoon, the
was large and the interest
very gratifying. Robert McGrath was
chosen to preside over the meeting.
The first and most important busi-
ness was the work of organizing the
athletic association for the year, and
the nominations for the various posi-
tions indicated clearly two things. One
is that there is in the minds of the
students, plenty Of good material for
officers of the association and the 9TH
er that each eligible student has
bunch of good friends for supporters,
and that when organization is perfect
ed and the several punches of partizan
supporters are combined in one body
of boosters. they will be force that
is both irresistible and immovable.
II was decided to nominate several
for each office Monday and
to hold the election a few DAYS later
at called meeting. The following are
the nominees:
For president-Robert McGrath, Ern-
est Murphy, Glynn Evans, James
Wright
Vice president--Chester Howarth,
Jimmie Nicholson.
