TREGo HIGH SCHOOL REPORT

Office of Board of Trustees of Trego
County High School.
WaKeeney, Kansas, May %, 1920
To the Honorable Members of the
Board of Trustees:
Gent1emen:II hereby present my
Annual Report for the year 1919
1920, closing this 28th day of May.
There were enrolled 81 boys, rs
girls making total of 137. The av-
erage daily attendance was boys 54-3,
girls 69.4, total 1887 making a per
cent of attendance for the year OF
9O.3. SO of the 137 pupils were from
country districts. Every township in
the county sent its representatives
and forty seven school districts were
represented.
The years work has been a success
from almost every standpoint. The
instruction was good, the instructors
effective, the discipline good, the
number of failures low and most OF
them due to sickness or to being bad
" prepared for the work. Complete
recommendations have been made by
each Instructor regarding each pupil
who is low in the work so that who
ever has the work of classifying in
the fall will have all necessary in
regular records and the special out
line of daily work kept by each in
structor with the advise and approval
of the principal, will be great aid
in the opening weeks of the coming
year.
Invoices of all equipment in each
department show that the equipment
has been handled with care and ex-
cept for regular depreciation will be
in good condition. The regular az
preparation will meet all require
ments, I am sure.
The standard of the work has been

That each community will take care
of its own unfortuuates and that it
is an imposition on the sympathies OF
the public for the beggars to be trav-
cling around asking for aims, was
again manifested last week when the
citizens of Hoxie and vicinity raised
a donation of over one thousand dol
lars to aid the widow and children OF
a man who was shot and killed in that
vicinity.

According to comm ents in the Lit
erary Digest and enterprising secre-
tary of chamber of commerce Of
one of our eastern cities has solved
the problem of how to reduce the high
cost of living. He says the producer
ought to be allowed a smaller price
for the raw material. He does not
seem to realize that the producers of
the beets from which the present
thirty-five cent sugar was manufac-
tured, received only eight dollars a
ton for their beets, which has been
about the customary price for the
last several years. Neither does he
seem to know that the producers CT
wool receive only a few cents per
pound for the raw MARTIAL and that
when the same wool is sold in fin
ished products it brings about ten
dollars per pound. The same hog
and beef flesh which the farmer sells
at from twelve to fifteen cents per
pound is sold by the packing houses
to retailers for thirty-fve to forty
five cents per pound. A whole bunch
of other things could be named but
what is the use. There should be no
reduction in the price of the raw ma
teria1 but the profits of the nanufac c.
