semble in the new building on Ault-
man street in Ely Monday morning
at 3 o'clock for the opening session
of what now promises to be the ban
ner year of the school up to this
time Between so and 10 students
will present themselves for enroll
ment, and the organization will be
effected to meet the conditions in the
best possible manner, although of
course some students will enter later
and some changes will have to be
made in the program.
The building is still lacking in sew
efal important features in spite of
the efforts that have been made TO
put everything In readiness for the
commencement of the school term.
The heating plant is not fully INSTALL
ed. the electric lighting fixtures are
not in place. and some other parts of
the furnishings may be delayed lit
tie. but the board is to be congratu-
lated upon having done we'll in get
ting ready for occupancy building
of this size in the time that 1t has
taken to do So There are desks and
other necessary apparatus enough In
place to accommodate seventy stu
dents conveniently. with three class
rooms fully furnished. besides the
shorthand and commercial depart
ments The equipment. as far as it
goes. is equivalent to that of other
schools of this class, and will be
brought up To a high standard as
soon as the funds are available.
For the present. each student will
have a desk in the assembly room.
where the roll will be taken and gen.
eral exercises held. This room will
also be used as recitation and study
room. with a teacher in charge
throughout the day. A portable
blackboard has been constructed for
use in this room. there being no 9th
er blackboards in place. The two
large class rooms on the second floor
have been furnished. and will be oc-
oupied by Miss Grace Fairchild and
Mr.. X. H. Wetherbee. The CONNER
cial room is equipped with twenty
large commercial desks and chairs.
and the shorthand practice room Is
equipped with two large tables and
dozen chairs. In the typewriting
room there are twelve machines
mounted upon suitable tables. with
chairs to match. All of the class
rooms are amply supplied with black
boarding, and there seems to be
nothing at all lacking In any line
that might add to the convenience OF
teachers and students.
With well equipped laboratories.
manual training and domestic science
looms, and with very fine GYM
nasium and athletic field, in addition
10 the rooms mentioned above, there
are few If any schools in the state
that can compete with the one in Ely
in attractive features.
" ith the entrance of from 80 TO
40 students from around the county,
many of whom will be in the upper
classes, the White Pine County High
School will assume position OF firs.
importance as a center of interest.
and will fulfill the need for which it
was organized. This is the first year
that any considerable number OF the
outside residents of the county have
shown a disposition to avail them
selves of the educational advantages
offered in Ely. while there are COM
paratively few. If any, young people
being sent away this year to outside
secondary schools.
The program for Monday will be OF
a temporary nature. but eontemplates
regular work through the day. with a
teachers meeting following the
school session. Spanish will be AIDED
to the language courses. and special
work will be given for those who de-
sire to prepare for teaching. General
science will be substituted for the
special science that has been given.
The state course of study will be pur-
sued as the basis of organization, Civ
ing the individual student ample OPP
portunity for following such course
as he desires providing 1t leads to
creditable graduation.
Owing to the shortage of funds.
and the uncertainty of attendance.
there will be but four instructors in
the high school at the opening of the
term. After the organization is com
pIeted another assistant may be
added.
