The seventh grade again won the
atten lance banner.
Miss Iva Mae Price gave mus.ca
seye1a! days ago in the school audi
forum for the benefit Of the Slidel
nigh school improvement League
The program given entirely by MIS-
Price was beautifully rendered ane
enjoyed by those present.
The faculty and pupils OF the hlgt
school are very glad to have Mary
Durham back again. She has beer
in the Touro lnnrmary for the pas
few weeks. as the result of serious
automobile accident. We are glas
to know thss. she is rapidly recover
ing.
We we're glad to welcome Sallyt
HALEY back In school last Monday
| She has been absent some time
owing to the serious accident.
Misses Scogin. Taylor and Mae
Frederick spent last Saturday in the
Crescent City.
Miss Adele Perreand spent the
weekend with her parents IN Gov
ington.
The Junior Band, reinforced by
three members of the high schoo
band, attended the school rally al
Abita Springs last Tuesday. The
boys led the parade in the morning
and gave band concert in the after
moon, besides furnishing music for
the various athletic events. They
we're royalty entertained by the
School Improvement League, and re
port a very pleasant day generally.
In last weeks Slidell American and
St. Tammany Farmer, Hon. G. NJ.
Liddle, ward director, pointed out
that the high schools in both slidel.
and Covington are undoubtedly lost
! unless some additional revenues for
their support are forthcoming. 1t
seems almost too gruesome to con-
template but on the basis of four
month term provided by the parish
supplemented by the Ninth Ward
Special Tax of 1-2 mills, it is quite
certain that we shall receive but a
rifle over six months in Slidell.
Six months Of school means only
100 days or less than 1-3 Of the year
/! in school. Instead Of LOT days vaca-
ion expected this year, 1911 days OF
| dleness would be at the disposal o.
| he children in summer recesses. On
| he other hand, the time in school be-
| .ng shortened from $50 days to 12o
| would require three years for the
completion of two grades-with
| hopeless confusion for children en-
| ering from other schools or leaving
| here to attend other schools.
The high school department would
| secure recognition. If at all, only with
the greatest difficulty. Other schools
would hesitate for confederate In
| spection before accepting pupils leav
:ng this school to enter theirs. Our
diploma would mean very little state
approval and once having lost state
approval, 1t would require three
years of work of high school stand
