The third week of work finds us
well organized and settling down to
work in earnest.
Miss S. Salmina, a graduate of the
University of California and Napa
business college. arrived yesterday
and took up her duties as assistant in
the Commercial department
The addition of an assistant in the
department is a direct result of the
increased demand for a business edu-
cation as well as the natural increase
of work in the department due to the
definite establishment of a four-year
Commercial course.
Miss Wolf, who has had complete
charge of the Commercial work, would
have had to teach eleven classes this
year in order to carry all of the work
which should regularly be given, and
as there are but eight periods in the
school day this was impossible.
A number of adults have registered
in special work in the High School so
far this semester and are attending
from one to three classes. No new
classes have been formed to accom-
modate these people and they are TAX
ing the regular class work with the
regular students.
We believe that the function of u
public High School is to provide, in
as far as possible, chance for any
instruction within its scope for any
person qualified to receive such in
struction.
The school code very definitely
states that all persons who have fin
ished Grammar school and have re-
ceived an eighth-grade diploma are
eligible to enter High School.
There is no age limit for High
School pupils and we take this oppor-
tunity to invite any adult in this COM
munity who desires to take any course
offered by us to enroll either as a
regular or special student in our regu-
lar courses.
