The Jasper news., 1921-09-15


The Jasper school opened Mon
day Of last week with an increased
enrolment in nearly all depart
ment.
The primary department is
probably the most crowded of all
the departments, having 43 enroll
ed, while the fifth and sixth grade
lis the smallest with about 21.
The High School shows a mark
ed increase over last year, having
more enrolled the first day than
was enrolled the entire year last
year. The freshman class is not
SO unusually large, having about
33 enrolled. Never in the history
of the school since the establish
ment Of the four year high school
has the senior class been so large,
while the other classes seem to be
holding their own. The fact that
the students are returning t
school and not dropping out is a
good omen. There was a larger
perccntof the old students return
ed than at any previous year.
The teachers for the ensuing
year are:
/ o. W. Thomas, superintendent.
. Margaret Prunty, English and
history.
Alma>Seidner, mathematics.
G. P. Campbell, grammar and
department of High School athe-
letics.
Nettie Kiethly, intermediate.
q Grace Gather, second primary.
Oleta Thompson, first primary.
The school building has under
gone considerable change since
school closed last spring. All of
the plaster that was damaged by
the storm has been replaced and
the walls have been repainted.
Itmakes great improvement and
one that is appreciated by the
whole school.
The high school has just about

the high school for years it looks
like it might be put over.
Elva and Everett Howrey enter

Several new scholars reported
for work in the grades this week,
making the total enrolment at
the beginning Of the year longer
then the entire enrolment for last
year.

LOCAL NEWS ITEMS

A step in the right direction to gel results is the general opinion of the
 move made at last nights meeting ot the Chamber of Commerce to raise substantial bonus for the crews doing the actual drilling at the Sutton and Bluff City wells, this bonus to be paid to the first crew bringing in a hun dred barrel well. The move origin ated when the companies putting down the wells deeded 40 acres ot choice holdings near each of the wells to the respective crews. The move ment seems to be gaining headway over the state to give big bonus to the company bringing in well, and the crew, the men doing the actual work. and incidentally the actual test ing, are overlooked. AS means of getting results, we'll say that when the crew is remembered in the bonus proposition, that the well will be looked after closer, and if any show ing of oil is found it will not be hur- riedly overlooked.
