EUREKA SCHOOLS CLOSE
Closing Year One Of the Best in
Recent Years, characterized
By Large Attendance
and War. Activity

AIIG
and the District School closed for the
Summer vacation Friday. June 7th.
The enrolment for the High School
| and in the District School has been
the largest within recent years. be-
| ing 80 in the grades and 80 in the
high school.
AS far as practicable the work has
been adjusted to meet the war condi-
| tons, and the pupils and the teachers
have always taken an active part in
| helping further this work. Among
other organizations, there have been
two Junior Red Cross Societies and
| four War Savings Societies, which
have been especially active. The pu-
pills will continue their patriotic
work during the Summer with their
war gardens and active participation
in Red Cross and other war work.
The regular school has not been ne
elected. but. on the other hand. the
war has furnished great opportunity
to emphasize and show the impor-
lance of the fundamentals of an edu-
cation, and has added to. rather than
| detracted from. the regular work.
The policy of the school authorities
in conducting the schools in the in
terest of the children and the good
of the community. which has been
followed in past years. has not been
deviated from. Our Country has
the first call upon US. and her call
will be met as far as lies within our
power to meet it.
All the eighth grade. numbering
ten. have probably passed their final
examination. and will receive certi-
ficates of graduation which permit
them to enter any high school in the
State without examination. Those
in the eighth grade are Mary Bos-
ton. Tony Depaoli. Claude Evans,
julius Farovini. Pauline HUI. James
Laird, Annie Porch, Oliver Pratt,
Estella Rogantini. Yula Reynolds.
With the eighth grade pupils who
graduate from the surrounding
schools, the prospects for a good
sized entering class in the county
high school next Fall are good.
