The PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Work of the Year Starts off In an
Excellent Manner.

Oskaloosa schools opened Monday
morning under favorable conditions,
with an average attendance. Vacan-
cies in the teaching corps have been
filed and pupils and teachers entered
upon the programs prepared with
least possible confusion. Promotions
and classification, the first thing In
lorder, received attention Monday and
Tuesday morning the schools started
off on the regular program for the
semester. Vacancies in the teaching
corps were filled by the election of
Miss Ruth Main, Mrs. Neva Garfield,
of Eddyville, and Miss Agnes Faulk.

| Mr. Flower opens the administra-
tion with the work definitely outlined
and well in hand, with the intention
of securing the best results obtainable.
Outside of the high school courses,
each school will conduct its work
along the same lines at the same time,
that is, pupils in Fifth ward, Whit
tier building, will be studying frac.
lions at the same time the subject is
before the pupils in jefferson school
and the boys and girls in Lincoln
school will be finding out about Alas
ka when that subject is before the
children over at Webster school. This
idea is to be carried out in all branch
es of study in the grades and so far
as possible the programs in each OF
THE five grade schools will correspond.
Four courses have been provided
for the pupils of the high school and
these courses are elective. A boy or
girl may take classical, scientific,
commercial or didactic work, and in
each of the four courses several sub
jects are elective, giving the high
|school scholar considerable latitude
lin the choice of work. Changing
from one course to another while pos.
|sible under certain conditions Is not
favored and can be made only with
the sanction of the principal. '1t
