The Morris Public Schools were'
among the first in the state to organize
a Junior Red Cross Auxiliary. Every
pupil in the schools was a member A
number of entertainments were given
to raise funds to carry on the work.
Approximately one hundred dollars per
month was raised and expended for
material since the auxiliary was formed
shortly before Christmas The hour
from three to four o'clock was set
aside each Friday afternoon through
out the entire school for Red Cross
work. A large amount of work was
also done outside of this period. The
Junior Red Cross has been warmly COM
mended by the Northern Division Head

quality of work turned out. Arrange

work.
Patriotic readers have been purchased
both for grades and high school. Les

The Importance of food conservation
has received special emphasis. A cam
paign was put on in the fall to secure
food card pledges, and the mothers of
all the children in the public schools
pledged themselves to cooperate with
the food administration. A follow-up
campaign has been waged throughout
the year to encourage the conservation
of wheat, meat, sugar, and fats. To
make this work concrete, book called
Food Problems" endorsed by the Food
Administration and the Public Safety
Commission, has been used as a supple

with interest by many friends of
education, it is here printed in full:
June 10, 1918.
To the Board of Education.
Gentlemen:
Last fall you levied a special tax of
$20,000.0O to maintain our school during
the year 1917-'1S. What can we show
for the expenditure of this amount of
money, together with some 100000 of
State aid? This is what I wish to dis
cuss in my report for the school year
ending May 31st, 1918. A complete fin
ancial report will be made at, the ex-
piration of the fiscal year, which ends
July 31st, 1918.
The report submitted herewith will
deal with school enrolment, attendance,
physical training, the regular school
work, the work of the special depart
ments, the use of scientific scales and
standards of measurement, and patriotic
activities in the school.

course, the same as is given to tn
girls gymnasium class.
REGTu SCHOOL, WORK


The regular school work has proceed
ed in a satisfactory manner, consider
ing the handicaps under which the
school has labored. AT the opening of
school in September the superintendent
and 10 of the Is teachers were new in
Morris. And there were several changes
during the year. one grade room having
two and another three different teachers
during the year and two high school
departments changing instructors also.
Such frequent changes in the teaching
corps cannot but interfere with high
standard of efficiency.
The superintendent, moreover, found
it impossible to devote as much time to
supervision as he had hoped to do
Several changes in office assistants
made it imperative to devote more time
to Office work than would otherwise
have been necessary, and the resignation
of the high school mathematics and
science teacher compelled the superin-
tendent to devote approximately half
his time to teaching duties during the
last five months of school. A closer and
more effective supervision would be
highly desirable. 1t is to be hoped that
Morris tribune., 1918-07-19
this may be attained during the coming
year.

year.
SPECIAL DEPARTMENTS:
The enrolment in the commercial de-
partment was rather small, but some
excellent work was done. The demand
for stenographers and clerical help has
materially stimulated interest in com
mercia1 training and the indications are
that the enrolment in this department
will be more than doubled during the
coming year.
The Normal Training Department ems
rolled eight girls. One left early in the
fall, the other seven remained thru out
the school year Six of them were grant
ed first grade teachers certificates, valid
in any rural or Semi-graded school in
the state. These girls were very eff

and 10 in the evening class for drafted

ment of 126. Thanks to a good, exper-
fenced, and efficient instructor both the
woodworking and the mechanical draw
ing came up to very high standard
The Home Training Department en-
rolled 80 grade girls and % high school
girls, a total of 102. Excellent work was
done both in sewing and cooking. The
senior girls made their own commence

attractive appearance. The cafeteria was
conducted by this department. A bread
baking club was formed, and one of the
members, Mabel Strand, Junior girl.

contest in competition with the other

Many of these children have already
received medical or dental care. Others
are undergoing treatment now, and still
others will do so in the near future
instruction in personal hygiene and
sanitation has been given thru out the
school. Chief emphasis has been put on
such matters as the care of the teeth,
bodily cleanliness, the Importance of
plain, wholesome food and of plenty of
fresh air. Special periods of few
minutes each were set aside for the
younger pupils for rest, recreation, and
physical training. A gymnasium class
was formed for high school girls. This
met regularly three times a week, and
the girls received one-fourth of a credit
for this work The gymnasium was also
utilized by the younger pupils as a play
room during cold or stormy weather
and the older boys and girls for basket
ball and hand ball.
During the spring high school boys
belonging to the Morris Home Guard
Company gave the boys in the intermedi-
ate and upper grades one hour week
of military drill.
A large number of high schools
through out the state and nation are
introducing military training. I hope
that next year arrangements can be
made with the officers of the local
Home Guards Company to give the
boys in high school, and possibly in the
upper grades also, at least three hours
week military training. One-fourth Of
a credit year would be given for this

With an enrolment of Ats for the
year one might suppose that the average
daily attendance would be more than
$780,. 1t must be remembered, however,
that altho the total enrolment for the
year was AIS, the number enrolled at
any one time was considerably less.
A class of 20 beginners entered in
April. A number of others attended
but a short time because they lived
elsewhere during part of the year. On
the whole the attendance was very sat
isfactory. Cases of truancy were very
few.
