Excellent Corps of Teachers En-
gagged for the Coming Year.


All of the school buildings are being
renovated and put in good condition
for the return of the pupils and teach
ers. A large enrolment is expected in
all grades, especially in the high school
which has Accommodations for 2l5 pupils
Although four OF the faculty OF the
high school of last year do not
return, the teachers selected to fill
these positions are exceptionally
well qualified for the work. Three Of
them have degrees from colleges and
made excellent records in school,
Parents of high school students are
urged to assist their children in the
selection of a course of study. Certain
subjects are required of all but those
which are elective should be chosen
with considerable care. Aside from the
regular work students may also take
agriculture, sewing, bookkeeping,
shorthand or manual training. Those
who want copy of the course of study
Q he high school may secure the same
by writing or telephoning to Supt.
Holiday.
There are a number of students from
the country who desire to work for
their board and cannot attend school
unless they can do so. Persons who
can use such students, either girls or
boys, will confer favor by notifying
Supt Holiday as soon as possible. At
any time during the school year stu
dents may be obtained for odd jobs by
telephoning to the high school building.
Following the plan that was begun
last year, the seventh and eighth grades
will be part of the high school and
only the first six grades will be ac-
comodated at the Jordan River and
West Side schools.
Children entering the high school
from rural school districts should have
county eighth grade diplomas. Others
will be admitted only in special cases
and such students must pay their own
tuition in advance. Every eighth grade
graduate within reach OF this high
school should plan to enter the ninth
grade this term. The entire high school
course is planned to be of actual prac-
tical benefit for all students and the
special work now offered in sewing
agriculture and manual training should
appeal to those young people who are
looking for more practical training than
books afford. The high school faculty
is as well qualified as any the school
has ever had and every member has
had at least six weeks of special train
ing within the past year.
The following corps of teachers has
been engaged for the year:
