PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES


Mid-term examinations have held
the center of the stage the past week.
The grades were not affected much,
as they have but few regular exami-
nations, But the whole time of the
high school teachers and pupils for
two days was taken with them.
We have never seen an examination
go off more quietly. There was no
friction; everybody seemed to want to
do the right thing, and all have &C
cepted the grades in good faith. We
are proud of our student body; we
doubt if a finer is assembled in the
state.
There were some failures, we are
sorry to have to say, but there were
not nearly so many as usual. In
some classes there none at ALL The
entire senior class came through
without scratch. Most of the fail
ures were due to irregular attend
ance; number were new pupils who
had not had sufficient preparation.

A new course of study has been
given out. 1t differs from the old
chiefly in the required branches. I'm
der the old course fourteen units
were required, practically all of
which were required. Now the re-
quirement is fifteen units, ten of
which are required. All pupils are
required to take English, history al
zebra, physiology, agriculture and
higher arithmetic. To fill out the
course they may take music, domestic
science, Sunday school work, Latin,
botany, bookkeeping, geometry and
one other science. This gives wide
range of electives, so that no pupil
need feel cramped in making out his
course. The new course goes into
