The members Of the Board of Edu- |
cation listened with evident satisfac- |
ton last evening at its regular board |
meeting to a concise report on the aver |
age cost per student Of the manual train |
ing department by Prof. r. o. Bagbey OF /
the department. II was found that the |
average cost per student in that depart |
ment. including the machine shop, was
a cents. This is very small, when the |
amount Of material used and the bene- |
! fits derived are considered.
A long list of articles to be purchased |
for the domestic science department was
referred to the board and viii be favor
ably acted upon before the opening OF

New Plans for Tooter.
Principal S. w. Moore OF the high
school has announced definite plans in
regard TO running the Tooter, the high
school paper. during the coming school
year. The paper will be placed in the
hands of two senior students who will
appoint their own assistants and run the
paper with practically no faculty censor
ship There will be an advisory board
of three members of the faculty, but they
will have no power as censor.
The action of the principal is the result
OF the disruption and rebellion that has
existed among several OF the past boards
in command. Submitting the paper en-
tirely into the hands of the students is
expected to create enthusiasm for their
paper and also to bring the paper to its
original standard as a financial success
in the hands of two efficient managers.
The business men of the city are gen.
orally in sympathy with the action and
their cooperation is with the young men
in charge. There will probably be two
commencement issues of the paper this
year one for the mid-year graduating
class and one for the June graduating
class
