week as outlined above.
Parents are very kindly urged to be
present on registration days and ad-
wise with the high school principal
and teachers relative to the selection
of courses for their children.
A new requirement relative to the
number of courses a student may car
ry in high school will be insisted on
this year. Any student wishing to
carry more than four courses must
have made a total average of 81 per
cent or more the last semester such
student was registered in the Twin
Falls high school, 1t is felt that this
requirement is necessary in order to
maintain relatively high standard OF
work in high school. Two years age
the number of credits required fOI
graduation was lowered from thirty
two to thirty. This was not done tc
make it easier for students in general
to graduate from the high school. II
makes it possible for the particularly
gifted or diligent pupils to meet the
requirements for graduation and en-
ter college or practical life in three
and half years. 1t is not intended
that the average or less than average
student should do this. Such student
or those who for any reason are re-
tarded in their high school work mus
spend the full amount of time to carr
thirty credits before graduation. In
most cases it requires four years to dc
this and in many cases four and {
half or five years time is required tC
meet satisfactorily the requirements
for graduation. The requirement of &
total average of 81 per cent in the
work of the previous semester is nee
essary to insure a high quality o.
work on the part of all students. This
is in keeping with the best moderr
high school theory.
All students must purchase the us'
of a locker in the high school building
This should be done the day of regis
tration. The fee is $1.00.
