indications point to bigger and better

The American high school is one of
the greatest institutions in the world.
1t is becoming more and more the
schools rank with the leading high
schools of the large cities of the
United States, but there a be no
standing still; either Improvement
must be made or the school will neces-
sarily drift away from the true stand
ard. All who are connected with the
schools have important duties to per-
form. The board of education, super
intendent, teachers, parents and pupils
have important parts to perform in
making our schools a success. A har-
monous working together of all these
factors is absolutely necessary to &C
complish the best results and maintain
the high standing the school now
holds.
The board of education have en-
ployed three additional teachers for
the coming year, making a total of 80
teachers.
If the high school is of value tt the
few, it evidently has something of
value for the many. Every boy and
girl in the city of Brookings and vi
cinity should take advantage Of the
excellent opportunities afforded by the
Bookings public schools. Those who
have completed the work of the de-
partmental school and every eighth
grade graduate of the rural schools of
this county should enter the high
school on opening day and every day
thereafter until the close.
Pupils recommended by the county
superintendent Of schools or by the
superintendent of the city schools,
either by certificate or otherwise, may
be admitted without examination.
Pupils from other schools must pre-
sent a certificate Of promotion from
the eighth grade to the high school.
Pupils from other high schools must
present the certificate of the principal
showing the work completed. Exam
ination may be required from them
or any others appearing for admission
on standing credits.
All nonresident pupils will be re-
quired to pay tuition at the rate of
$500 per month for the high school
and $500 per month for the grades,
tuition is payable in advance.
Pupils and parents are earnestly re-
quested to confer with the superin-
tendent in regard to courses to be per-
sued. Pupils who are irregular in
their course are requested to meet the
superintendent and principal at the
high school building Friday or before
noon Saturday. Pupils in the grades
who desire to make up any back work
by examinations must do SC this week.
A meeting of all the teachers of the
city schools will be held at the high
school building Saturday at 2:3O p. m.
preliminary to the opening of school
the following Monday.
Pupils of the junior high school will
assemble in the junior high school
building formerly the Baptist church
building) for enrolment Monday
