; Some complaint has been heard
on account of the discontinuance of
: the junior high school which was
$ unavoidable for the reason of the
limited finances of the district.
Last year the expenditures we're
: greater than the receipts. The
D general fund is entirely exhausted
, and the district will not receive any
4 new money until after the first of
e the year. In addition to the state
t and county appropriations a maxi
n mum tax of ten mills has been lev
: led for several years and this will
!. not produce enough money to con-
: tinue the school on a junior high
+ school plan with the rising cost of
fuel, supplies and salaries.
: While the board has been tortun-
l. ate in securing very good corps of
It teachers for the coming term, they
It will all receive very moderate sal
= aries in comparison with other
l. schools. The change iwill be only
e temporary and by using strict econ
C omy it is hoped that a return to the
d other system may be made within 9
j. short time. Prof. Pm. Soulen, o1
e the University of Idaho, who re-
r. Gently made survey of the shcoo
e for the purpose of placing it on tht
n accredited list, advised making tn,
r. change. The junior high schoo
is system or six-six plan was inaugur
le ated In the Kendrick school only ;
20 short time ago and has met witt
ID favor among the students of th
!" seventh and eighth grades, mainl!
" because of the distinction of beini
IN in high school and the elimination
rs OF the county examinations. Tn
in same subjects are taught unde
or either plan.
