Just Mt this time, when young people
are trying to make up their minds
whether TO NO to school another year
or not. II may be well 10 call the atten-
ton Of young and old to the fact that
Carrizozo has a fully accredited high
school. When State Superintendent
Wagner delivered the commencement
address at CarriZozo last May, he made
the statement 10 a public audience that
the high school OF Carrilozo h accrcd-
tied, fully accredited, b. the state
University. This means that our grad
yates can enter the state University,
and every other state college or normal
without examination; that our work and
requirements are such as TO satisfy the
the State Board Of Education. This
standing of our high scho ! Is known
and conceded by everybody, not only
by the city superintendent and presi-
dents Of colleges but also by the peo-
pie ut large.
Accreditization lasts oronly one year
at a time. Judgment In the matter
takes place every year, therefore. we
propOse 10 keep our schOol up to high
standard. Not only that but w intend
20 make the school better each year.
The school board IL doing It's best To
obtain the very best teachers possible.
The teaching force of the high school
this year consists Of five persons, three
0 fwhom have the degrees Bachelor Of
Pedagogy, Master Of Pedagogy and
Doctor Of Philosophy. Next week we
shall give the names of the entire teach
ing force, with their assignments.
In the standard high schools Of New
Mexico, the State Board Of Education
..,t.ten9 npli Fntr tpttus all nlhAr
branches are elective. These tour are:
three years OF English and one Of Uni
tel States History and Civics. This
gives large liberty Of choice.
In the Commercial Course, not 80
much choice Ia allowed. That Is right,
as anyone can see. In the G e1eral
Course, one may make his course large
~ History, Mathematics, Spanish,
Science, English, Manual Training, or
Domestic Science.
Supt. Cole 10 ready TO receive parents
and pupils at his Office In the High
School building every afternoon. He
especially requests that high school
pupils see him early and plan their
course. This Is necessary In order to
know how many books TO order. II we
know how many pupils will be IN the
high school classes, We may order books
now and not have to wait two or three
weeks after school begins.
Parents, will you please send your
children the first day OF school. This
concerns you and your children more
than IL does us. II your children are
two or three weeks late II IL principally
their loss. They are behind their
classes and II Is always hard o r.them
to catch up. They are likely to he
behind all the rest Of the school year.
Besides, il retards the class, takes
away some of their enthusiasm, and
makes for confusion in various ways.
II 8 hooling Ia good for a child, the
more he can get, the better.
Parents, the law does not permit you
TO send your children to school if they
are less than five years Of age. II al.
lows them 10 enter the schools at five
years of age but that Is a serious mis-
take, A great many of them are mere
babies at that age and the confinement.
even though much less than for the
older pupils, gives many Of them "A
hatred for school that stays with them
all through life. The period between
five and six should be a time for play,
for pure happiness, and healthful exer.
else out of doors.
School will commence the 9Th Of
September.
