The high school enrolment is now
/ 100. 60 of whom are tuition pupils. As
the assembly 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 a problem as the room is very
crowded.
There is also a large enrolment in
the grades, fifty-tive being register ed in
the eighth. On account of the heavy
work of the seventh and eighth grades,
the special 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
mc.ning Those who We're not fortu-
nall, enough to secure seats at this time
wn45a the ones to have the new seats
whAl they arrive.
Orchestra rehearsals began Thursday
evening under the director, Miss Cozz-
ems. There will be regular rehearsals
on Thursday evenings.
A large number of the boys are re-
porting for football practice.
The work in Manual Training and
Domestic Science has been extended to
the sixth grade, the work being given
once week. This will have tendency
to advance the work all along the line.
A thorough course in writing is to be
installed throughout, 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 recitation rooms. The chemistry
and physics rooms have been combined
and the laboratory work will all be done
in one room. 1t is necessary to have
one laboratory period at IS O'Clock in the
morning.
large number are taking the com
mercial course, which has been complet
ed this year Four new typewriters
have been put in and the room is to be
partitioned so that the machines may
be used all day without disturbing other
recitations. This course aims to give
thorough training and practical expert
ence in typewrting, shorthand, book
keeping and other commercial branches.
A number from outside the high school
have applied for work in this depart
ment and it is possible that arrange
ments can be made to extend the use
fullness Of this course.
The FIVE minute intermission between
recitations has been discarded and an
assembly period of 70 minutes is held
ia the middle of the forenoon. The
tine will be used for music, writing or
| entertainment. 1t is hoped that some
one from outside the school can be Sc
| cured to address the students each Fri
day morning. Rev. c. w. Emery gave
ar inspiring address last Friday.
| The students enjoyed musical recit-
al by Miss Cozzens Wednesday morning.
Parents and others interested in the
welfare CT the schools are cordially in
