Cozzens, Pueblo, Colorado, and Miss Wilmer
of Honey Creek, Wisconsin.
The high school enrolment is now 100,
90 of whom are tuition pupils As the as
sembly room has but l79 seats, it has been
necessary to make use of benches and
chairs. New seats have been ordered but
the seating will still be problem as the
room is very crowded.
There is also large enrolment in the
grades. Fifty~hve are enrolled in the
Eighth grade. On account of the heavy
work of the Seventh and Eighth grades the
Especial Help teacher has been made an
assistant to the teachers of these grades.
The high school students enjoyed the
game of finding their seats Thursday
Those who were not fortunate
enough to secure seats at this time will be
the ones to have the new seats when they
arrive.
The orchestra began rehearsals Thursday
evening under the director, Miss Cozzens.
There will be regular rehearsaIs on Thurs
day evenings.
A large number Of the boys are reporting
forafootball practice.
The work in Manual Training and Do
mestic Science has been extended to the
Sixth grade, the work being given once a
week. This will have tendency to adj
vance the work all along the line.
A thorough course in writing is to be in
stalled throughout the schools including the
high school. Spelling will also be given to
all high school students.
On account of the crowded conditions of
the high school a number of changes have
been made in the arrangement of the reci-
tation rooms. The Chemistry and Physics
rooms have been combined and the Iabora-
tory work will all be done in one room. 1t
is necessary to have one laboratory period
at 8 o'clock in the morning.
A large number are taking the CONNER
ciaE course which has been completed this
year. -Four new typewrlters have been put
in and the room is to be partitioned so that
the machines may be used all day without
other recitations. This course
aims to give thorough training and prac-
teal experience in Typewriting, Shorthand,
Bookkeeping, and other Commercial
branches A number from outside of the
high school have applied for work in this
department and it is possible that arrange
ments can be made to extend the usefulness
of this course.
The fve-minute intermission between
recitations has been discarded and an as.
sembly period of 20 minutes is held in the
middle of the forenoon. This time will
be used for music, writing, entertainment
ETC. 1t is hoped that some one from out
side of school can be secured to address
the students each Friday morning. Rev. C.
W. Emery gave an inspiring address last
Friday morning.
The students enjoyed music recital by
Miss Cozzens Wednesday morning
Parents and others interested in the vel
fare of the schools are cordially invited to
visit the schools and inspect the work done
there.
