the new school grounds and used for
the shelter and accommodation of horses
and vehicles used by students who come
from the rural districts Fred Cole,
who like Mr.. Parsons, is a new mem
Der of the board, was appointed a com
mittee of one to interview farmers mad
ranchers whose children are attending
school regarding this move.
A decision was reached by the board
which is also of vital interest to the
patrons and students residing out of
the school district. This is to the eff
feet that no tuition will be charged by
the Grangeville school district and stu
dents residing outside the boundaries
may attend school here and take ad-
vantage of Grangeville's exceptional
educational advantages at no additional
cost

Referring to the work done in the
school to date and the outlook for the
year, Superintendent Rice said yester-
day:
1.-The enrolment in the Grangevile
public school on last Monday was up
to our expectations in every way Com
pared to last year, the enrolment in
the grades was the same, but in the
high school the enrolment is five high
er than for the corresponding day last
year, and twenty-six higher than two
years ago. The grade enrolment Mon
day was 265, the high school enrolment
S6 Before the year is out these mum
bers will probably reach $50 and 100.
1.-The old teachers in the school are
coming up to their excellent records
and the new teachers are appearing
capable and efficient The work of all
so far indicates that the school will
reach a high standard this year
"On the part of the pupils there ap
pears a decided change over last year
There is more earnest and serious work
, A majority of the pupils are beginning
, to realize that attending school is a
business out of which they must get q
good profit At this time I feel thai
the school spirit is superior to thai
which has existed at any time within
l the three years l have been in Grange
. vile. feel that now the effect of tn,
r construction Of the new building i
making itself felt with telling effect
: New Courses Popular.
The domestic science department /
crowded already. Nearly all high schoo
girls have enrolled for this work, an
. all seventh and eighth grade girls ar
!. required to take it. The class in aSri
:. culture is small, but then a good be
q ginning has been made. Agricutur
' will some day take the lead as cours
:, for boys in the Grangevile high schoo
II "Another improvement this yea
= which we have not said very niue
u about is the introduction of organize
play. Instead of the old recess pla
when all pupils, big and little wei
. turned loose for about fifteen minute
e each half day, the teachers of eac
grade are in charge of their own pl
= pills and introduce and conduct Il
games of the children. Each room h;
twenty five minute play period eao
day, not each half day. These perio'
ID come at successive intervals. l. e.,
ID grade at a time, which makes 1t lo'
ID to the public as If there was an exec
i'd sive amount of play. but such Is not {
id case. for we give no more time tn;
s. formerly. l believe when parents res
80 ize what this organized play mea
a that they will decide that 1t is the be
a. thing we have ever done for improvi
