HIGH SCHOOL FA-
CILITIES AMPLE
FOR HOME PUPILS

opportunity for the education Of
your children, or do you still desire
further assistance from the state?
The law requires the attendance
at some school of all children be-
tween the ages of and 16 unless
the child has completed the eighth
grade.
How about your children who are
over 16, or who have completed the
eighth grade. Do you want the state
to assist you in providing an oppor-
tunity for their education?
The state offers to assist you by
providing high schools for children
who have completed the grades. 1t
is optional with the parents whether
they accept the aid.
II you accept this aid the next
question for you to consider is to
what high school will you send your
children? Montpelier maintains a
high school that is on the accredited
list Of high schools of the state as
recognized by the sEate board Of
education and the higher institutions
OF learning of the state
This means that the credits OBJ
tanned in the Montpelier high school
will be received at full value in meet
ing the entrance requirements at the
state university or universities of
other states.
Another thing to consider in Sc
lecting the school is that of parental
care. Which will be best for your
children: to have them under your
care and send them to the local high
school, or to place them in school
which may afford some better ad-
vantages but of necessity deprives
your children of your care and at
tention?
The educational advantages that
may be obtained by going from home
to attend high school are small
when compared with the disadvant-
age of the child being away from
home.
No institution has yet been found
ed that can supplant the normal
home in caring for children. Send
ing child from home to attend
high school is denying THEM of a
PRIVILEGE and RIGHT IL there is
a high school in the community.
To you parents who reside in dis
tricts that do not maintain a high
school the state law provides that
you may send your children to
another district which maintains a
high school. The tuition Of your
children will be paid by the district
they come from.
II you desire to send your child
rem to the Montpelier high school
provisions will be made for them
Every effort will be made to helI
them. Teachers will be appointed
who will act as special advisors and
whose special duty will be to lool
after the general welfare of YOU
children.
Some young people of high schoo
age think that If they could only at
tend some other high school the!
would be able to succeed much bet
ter. On going to some other higl
school they find it is the same OLE
story. There Is no f1owery road t.
an education. You get only wha
you work for. There is no excellen
cy in any school without labor. Tn
question should not be: "Wha
school shall attend" but 'wha
will I do in the school attend"
is what you do that counts.
AS for as possible the Montpelie
high school will be made to fit tn
needs of the individual students.
Students who do not have tim
to take regular years work will b
permitted to select such work as the
desire and haves time to take.
Young men and women who ar
beyond the compulsory school az
but have not completed the eight
grade will be permitted to attend tn
high school and take whatever sui
jects they desire to take, provide
they can carry the work successful!
Students who do not desire to tax
the regular high school course, bT
desire to concentrate their effort
along some special line viii be pei
mitted to do SO. The only requirv
ment asked will be honest effort
their work.
It may be that some Of our gradl
atss will not be able to enter highe
institutions of learning this preseI
school year. but are desirous OF d
ing some school work.
Two new science courses have bee
added to the curriculum this yes
and IL any Of the graduates can lin
time and desire to take these coursi
or any other work, they viii be We
come to do So
Our policy Is to make the scho
serve the greatest number. v
welcome all who are willing to wor
