PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES.


on the 9th with record enrolment
sll departments from the kindergarte
through the high school.
The enrolment in the high school
the largest in the history of the inst
tuition and is taxing the laboratorie
and classrooms to the utmost degree
There are so Freshmen, so Sophomores
80 Juniors and 35 Seniors enrolled, max
ing total of 204 The maximum seat
ing capacity of the study hall is l79
so 25 students do not have desks Of
their own and are obliged to share &
desk with fellow student. Thus 81
students suffer the Inconvenience of not
having adequate space in which to keep
their books and other study equipment.
The Board of Education is graphing
with the problem and will provide lock-
ers or some other device in which
students may keep their books.
I 1t is unfortunate that the salary scale
in Mineral Point was not large enough
to cause a majority of the high school
/ teachers who were with us last year to
return this year. A large turnover is
/ detrimental to the best interests of the
school the same as it is in industry. Ii
requires considerable time for teachers
to become acquainted with students and
their parents. The best work is posi-
BILE only when there is wholehearted CO.
operation of all agencies in attaining
the desired goal
| In spite of all drawbacks indications
point to a most successful school year.
All teachers have entered upon their
duties With great enthusiasm and are
putting their best energies into their
work. The Board of Education should
be congratulated upon securing corps
of well trained and professionally mind
ed teachers.
