Progress of the
County High School

Through the courtesy of Professor
Stillman we publish the following,
which is copy of the report that will
be submitted to the County Com
missioners at their next meeting:
The organization, course of study,
aud progress during the first semes.
ter was made the special subject of a
report submitted December 81, 1918.
The course of study as there out
lined has oeea followed without alter
alton and only minor changes were
made in the daily program.
School was in session each regular
day since January first with the eX-
ceptons of Friday, March 24th and
May Both.
The total enrolment was four,
three of whom continued to the end
of the school year,
The work of the students has been
of an earnest aud satisfactory ma.
ture. They covered well the ground
mapped out by the state authorities
for years work IN each of the sew
eral studies pursued, The small
number of students enrolled enabled
the teacher to give individual atten-
ton. They have been punctual and
fairly regular in attendance. There
is appended hereto as part of this re-
port statements meant to give ii
true and accurate account to date of
the accomplishments Of each student
in his high school work.
The studies pursued this year have
been those required for the general
high school course but are applicable
as u basis for the commercial, the
scientific or the classical course.
The science work has been made
interesting to local students by sup
plimenting the work of the text with
matters related to the mining indus
try, e.g., by determining the specific
gravity of metals in the laboratory,
by studying the action of chemical
reagents and testing for tungsten.
The State Board has placed the sub
ject of general science on par with
other science courses as far as recog-
milton for credits is concerned,
A vote taken near the end of the
school year showed that q majority
of the students favored and would
elect, ii given an opportunity, what
is known as u commercial course. 1t
is therefore recommended that il
feasible d teacher be obtained for
the coming year who can teach com
mercial subjects, viz stenography,
typing, bookkeeping, commercial
law, business practice, etc.
During the last half of the year
the principal was relieved of some of
his duties in connection with the
Elementary school. The work of
this department has met with his
approval.
The success of the years work is
due largely to the assistance and
hearty cooperation of the community
at large and if 1t has not always been
acknowledged such support has been
none the less appreciated. The wri-
ter feels that special thanks is due
