HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.


lyceum as soon as possible has been
made. The programs for the past
two years have consisted mainly of
parts presented by the juniors and
the seniors. This leaves the fresh
men, sophmores and part of the
| Juniors with no chance to participate
so that change has been thought
advisable TO be in some way worked
out so that all classes may have some
part. not especially for the credits,
but for the benefit to be derived. 1t
is hoped to stimulate more interest
in lyceum work by this change. 1t
has also been difficult in the ordinary
lyceum to understand all that is be-
ing said in any part of the assembly
hall and it is probable that the pupils
will be divided into smaller groups
that each person may hear what is
being said.

1.-THE one session day plan of con-
Quoting high school would save us a
great deal of work and time said one
of the high school teachers while con-
yersing on the chances for such
system being installed here, mot to
say anything of the benefit the pupils
would derive from it," From what
we have read about having one
session of school from eight fifteen in
the morning to about one-thirty in
the afternoon we find it superior in a
great many ways to the system being
used now in our public schools. The
chances are that there would be a
larger high school as those pupils re-
quired to work their way through
school would have more time to do
this. The teachers say also that this
system gives pupils a chance to have
individual help without the need of
remaining after school until six
o'clock. There are many schools
throughout the country which have
recently or are going to adopt the
system. Why not the Wausau High
School?
