should cooperate and that a child
that is systematic in the home will be
a better student in school this school
long time ago put into operation a
system of credits for vocational work

blank is filled out, signed by the par

For that reason one would naturally
expect wide-awake enterprising cit

While this spirit is shown in the
splendid farms. good roads. fine live
stock, etc, IL is especially reflected
In the schools founded and support
ed by the community.
In the summer of 1908. before the
waters of the Snake river had been
turned into the canals. few hardy
pioneers with their families had as
sembled on the townsite of jerome.

dollar of money and no legal way to
obtain any. There was no assessment

no bonds could be voted.
In this emergency. the Water Co.
came TO the rescue and loaned the
school board money enough TO erect
