SUCCESSFUL SCHOOL YEAR
ANTICIPATED IN COLVILLE


by Superintendent G. L. Putnam of
the Colville public schools in regard
to the faculty and organization Of
the schools:
"A full corps of teachers has been
engaged for the high school, but
there is still one vacancy in the
grades. Several times during the
vacations months the faculty has
been engaged but during these times
one must expect some disappoint-
ments. At all times the board of
directors and myself have been mind
full of the fact that school can
really be no better than its faculty,
and we believe that the people of
Colville can look forward with conf
dence to the success of the coming
school year.
"There will be few changes in the
organization of the school this year,
which we hope will add to its eff
fciency. The entire seventh and
elSHIH Sldue WoIh Will NC doliC ul
the high school building, largely on
the junior high school plan. We
are not ready to make the sweeping
changes of the full fledged junior
high school curriculum, but the ad
dition of another teacher to these
grades, the departmental plan, the
emphasis on vocational work, and the
longer periods for recitation and su
pervised study will undoubtedly in
sure better work in these grades.
Music will be introduced for the first
time in the high school and the out
side work which has been handled
so efficiently will continue to receive
proper credit. An additional year
of agriculture will be taught this
year and physics will be offered in
place of chemistry with which it is
aternated 1t is planned to extend
the work of supervision of drawing
in the grades and to have the music
in the grades supervised also.
"There are a number of pupils
anxious to come to our high school
from out of town, but who must de-
pend upon work out of school hours
in order to attend high school, or
who wish rooms where they can do
| light housekeeping. | should be
glad indeed to learn of homes where
students could do light housekeeping
or work for their board and room.
"The people of Colville certainly
showed a commendable interest in
their schools last year. That CO.
| operation on their part and harmo-
NOUS working corps Of teachers be-
school year"
