To TRY SELF
Government
Maintenance of Order at the
High School Will Rest
With the Pupils

The FL Paso high school will be
conducted upon a plan Of self govern
ment this winter, and the students
have taken most enthusiastic hold of
the idea The discipline Of the student
body will be maintained by the stu
dents themselves, after the most model
forms Of self government used in the
high schools and colleges Of the east
All forms Of disorder and all punish
ments for offenders will be handled by
the students, through board Of nine,
consisting Of the president of the stu
dent body and council formed Of two
members Of each class. who will sit
IN judgment upon all student Offend
ers, and try the cases after the man
ner Of court with the president as
the judge and the council as jury.
Under the council will be 20 deputies,
or monitors, five from each class,
whose duty will be to report any
breach Of order to the president and
council
It is believed that through this
method much better results Will be OBJ
tanned in the order and discipline Of
the school, as IL will eliminate the al
ways Objectionable 'squealing' on
some pupils part TO the teacher, and
viii, by putting the order and disciplin-
ing IN the pupils own hands, also put
them OF their honor TO maintain order,
beside relieving the teachers Of a big
burden.
While the student council will have
the power TO administer punishment
for breach Of order in the class rooms
and recitation rooms, the main duty
VIII be the general order about the
building, halls and grounds, during
the change Of classes, recesses and at
other times. when it is most difficult
for the pupils TO be under the direct
supervision Of a teacher.
