This week closes the work of the
first semester and examinations are
being held in all the departments of
the schools. The second semester will
begin with the opening of school Mon
day, February 3rd, and classes in the
primary department will be organized
for children who have attained the age
of six or will be of school age during
the semester. In the high school
there will be classes in commercial
arithmetic with Principal Patty as in
structor. Commercial geography under
Miss Plummer will be provided for.
The seniors will study civil govern
ment which is the advanced course in
American history. The courses in
Latin, mathematics, English, history,
physics and zoology are continuation
Of the courses pursued in the first
semester. Domestic science and man.
ual training will continue as in the
first semester. The literary societies
expect to have some very high class
programs this semester. The work of
the second semester though quite
heavy as planned promises to meet
with the best of success and a greater
advantage to the students than the
past semester. The senior class is the
largest this year in the history of the
school and is third in size of any in
the state, outside of Sioux Falls, Madi-
son and Mitchell which are the only
other schools in the state having a
larger class than ~Brookings.
The Inauguration Of the department
al system in the upper grammar
grades has met with wide favor and
has undoubtedly strengthened the work
of these grades. With the present
teachers in this department the pupils
have taken on a different attitude to-
ward their work and are looking to the
high school as their goal for the COM
ing semester. Students who are If
regular in their courses will make an
effort to make up the required back
work the coming semester and to meet
the requirements. Parents are asked to
cooperate in encouraging our boys and
girls to closer application to school
work by being at home every school
night during the week throughout the
entire semester.
