GETTING READY FOR WORK

SS ~ n@NOt ST VIM
The board of education of the City
of Brookings has completed the work
of selecting a corps of teachers for the
coming year and are now working out
plans to take care of the crowded con-
ditions and the large increase in the
enrolment in all the departments of
the school. The school census shows
the enumeration of the school popula-
ton to be 1907. This increase over
last year would indicate that there
will be a much larger enrolment at
the opening of school, September 4th,
than last year. The buildings are in
adequate to care for all entitled to
school privileges which makes it i'm
perative for the board to secure addi-
tional room as well as additional
teachers.
superintendent Browning will BE a
busy man for the next three or four
weeks arranging courses of study and
formulating plans for the year. He
says that the high school will be much
larger this year than last. Fifty-four
students will classify as seniors, 50
will classify as juniors, 70 as sopho-
mores. There were SO who finished
the work of the departmental school
and were promoted to the high school.
These with the number in the fresh
man class who failed to classify as
sophomores will bring the number of
freshmen up to 80 or more. Counting
the number entering from other
schools the enrolment at the opening
will not be under 800. There were IA
promoted from the sixth grade to the
departmental school which, added 10
the number remaining in this depart
ment, will make a total of $50 or O
which necessitates additional room as
we'll as additional teachers. Mr..
Browning believes in preparedness
and is now formulating plans and
courses of study that the Brookings
schools may remain in the lead and
continue to advance.
