The twice-a-week Twin Falls times. (Twin Falls, Idaho) 1916-1918, 1917-08-23

these books and supplies will be stat
ed on the lists. The parents will
then be able to check up the needs of
the children. The parent is advised
not to provide his child with books,
supplies or materials other than the
ones noted on the list. Do not buy the
child any more than the list requires.
This will aid great deal in keeping
down the cost of school supplies.
The teachers have begun to write in
for lists of rooming and boarding
places. The superintendent will be
very glad to have people who desire
to room or board teachers list their
names with him. This will not only
be service to people who have rooms
to rent but it will be great aid to
those teachers who are strangers in
the city and who will have some diff
Guilty in getting located.
The board OF Education passed a
ruling last year which makes it nee
essary for the drivers of school wag-
ons to deliver the Children to the
buildings where they attend school.
The drivers are, also, required to col
lect the children at the buildings
where they are enrolled. This elimi-
mates the need of some children walk
ing across the city.
On account of the teachers institute
being held in the high school build
ing during the week just prior to the
opening of school it is impossible to
register high school students before
Monday, September 10. Registration
will take place on the opening day of
school. Immediately upon coming to
the high school building, all high
school pupils will go at once to the
auditorium where registration will be
conducted under the guidance of the
general high school faculty.
A
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 a relatively high standard
of work in high school. Three years
ago, the number of credits required
for graduation was lowered from thir-
ty-two to thirty. This was not done to
make it easier for students in general
to graduate from the high school. it
makes it possible for the particularly
gifted or diligent pupils to meet the
requirements for graduation anil enter
college or practical life in three and
half years. 1t is not intended that
the average or less than average stu
dent should do this. Such student or
those who for any reason are retarded
in their high school work must spend
the full amount of time to earn thir-
ty credits before graduation. In most
cases it requires four years to do this
and in many cases four and q half or
five years are needed to meet salts
factorily the requirements for gradua-
ton. The requirement of a total av-
erage of 81 per cent in the work of
the previous semester is necessary to
insure a high quality of work on the
part of all students. This is in keep
ing with the best modern high school
! theory.
All high school students must pur-
chase the use of a locker in the high
school building. This should be done
/ the day of registration. This is 81 90.
| This fee is returned when the locker
| is no longer needed and all locks and
keys are handed in.
