EUREKA SCHOOLS TO
OPEN NEXT TUESDAY
Prospects For a Good Attendance
In Both High School and
Grammar Grades

f1 IN aA@h o1tlOOl ANCs
l will open on Tuesday, Sept. z.
For some it will be the entrance and
first taste of formal school life, but
for the most of the pupils it will be
a re~-entering after a Summers vaca-
ton. While the result of the years
work will not depend wholly on the
start made. a good deal does depend
on the beginning. and every pupil
should be in school the opening day.
Not only so, but every pupil should
make it a point to be in school on
time every day. and the parents
should encourage their children in
their school work. whether it be in
attendance, books, or department,
and keep them in school. thus teach
ing them the great lessons that will
be valuable to them in their after
life.
The greatest asset a community, a
State, or a nation has are its boys
and girls. These are they who are
to guide it's future. Then how i'm
portant it is that the boys and the
girls of to-day who are to assume
the responsibilities of citizenship of
tomorrow, should be well fitted for
assuming such responsibilities. And
to bring about the best results there
must be cooperation on the part of
all the forces and factors that pro-
duce the result. The physical equip
ment alone-buildings, books, desks,
etc.-do not make the school; though
they are very important. Neither
do the children alone, however en-
thusiastic and interested in their
work they may be; nor the teachers,
who may be ideally fitted for their
work; nor the trustees. WHO'D may be
continually working to have the best
school possible. But there must be
a union of all these factors working
together, and more than this, there
should be a community spirit that
will get behind the school and help
create and foster the proper ideals.
The schools are one thing that the
have a very vital connection
with. and they should show their in
by helping make a ucces of
them.
The outlook for the Eureka schools
this year is very promising. The two
boards of control are working har-
moniously and earnestly together to
make the schools worth while. An
instance of this is their uniting the
two schools under the supervision of
one principal, and employing teach
ers who are qualified for their work.
The principal. Charles Priest, is a
of Vanderbilt University
and the University of California, at
latter institution he special
lied largely in education. Both as a
teacher and principal, Mr.. Priest has
had a number of years successful
experience. To Eurekans he is no
stranger, having been here as vice
principal of the High School in 1911
IL. The next year he was principal
of the Dayton High School, and the
past two years he has been doing
graduate work in the University of
California and teaching.
The first assistant in the High
School, James d. Gold. Jr., is a grad
uate Of Waynesburg College. He
has had successful experience in
teaching in Montana, and during the
past Summer was a student in the
session of the University of
Miss Ethel Berlin, who will have
charge of the Commercial work, is a
of the University of Cali
fornia, and has had three years work
in the Department of Commerce OF
the University of Indiana. She has
had practical experience in the
work she is to teach, having been
secretary to the acting head of the
Accountancy Department in the Uni
versity of Indiana.
In the State High School course of
as adopted for high schools. it
is recommended that in small high
schools effort be concentrated on
only one of the five courses listed.
The most practical course offered is
the General Course. However.
there are a number of elective cred
its, and those pupils who desire to
