BOTTINEAU PUBLIC
SCHOOL NOTES
The first week of school was a
most successful one in every way. The
teachers and students are all intense
II interested and enthusiastic. In the
case Of many Of the new teachers it
should be stated that the position
Lstor 81 teacher and in the discus
the teacher often
inquired II high school grade
school. was wanted in Bottineau. Teach
ers prefer very much to work for
communities that appreciate their ser
vices. They have been assured that
Bottineau is very much interested in
good schools.
Mr.. Corrison, band and orchestra,
leader Of Deloraine, visited the high
school last week and placed before the
students the proposition Of lessons on
orchestra instruments.
Several high school students, men,
bers Of the class Of 1920, have less
than four units to make this year in
order to get the is required for grad
uation and are taking a subject or two
at the normal school. In this way,
no time is wasted and college or nor
NAL school credit can be secured while
at the same time completing the high
school work.
The enrolment figures are not by
any means complete for the year, but
TO date there are something like ITO
enrolled in Central school and 18O in
the high school.
|. There are number Of children in
Bottineau who will not be six years
Of age prior to February and there
fore could not be permitted to enter
this fall. Some Of them will be six
in FEBRUARY, some in March, others in
April and. SO on. It is not a good
thing for these children to be obliged,
to wait until next September to receive
the privileges Of the first grade. It
is planned to re-organize the work in
the Central school in such a way that
promotions will occur semi-annually
and there will then be beginning
class each half year. This will mean
q better. grading Of the children of
each room and the children not per-
mitted to enter this fall will have their
opportunity the latter part Of Jan
uary. The beginners this fall will by
that time have achieved enough inde-
pendence to be able to carry forward
work at their desks while the entrants
Of the second semester receive q large
amount Of the teachers attention.
The high school students have in
itiated number Of organizations and
are in working form for the years

Did you hear sounds Of enthusiasm
coming from the assembly room
Tuesday afternoon? That was when
announcement was made Of an ap-
preaching school party. It happens q
week from Friday night and will be
the occasion Of much pep and excite
ment. Each class will contribute "a
stunt" and it is rumored that each
stunt win be . riot. We're glad we
belong at the high school.
Everybody jumps when the new
class gong rings. It is manipulated
by the newly installed electric clock,
instead Of by Mr.. Wise's long suffer-
ing thumb, as heretofore.
