AS to the High School.
The criticisms of the state depart
ment on the high school were laid be-
fore the board in the following letter
from State superintendent Cary:
President j. B. Glerum,
Board of Education:
am in receipt of the report made
| by high school supervisor F. C. Touton
who visited your schools on May 10th
and 18th last. 1t is evident from the
report that Supervisor Touton found
much to commend in the work of Prin-
cipal Tremper and of the teachers of
the school. It is, indeed, pleasing to
me to get these favorable reports
which come from the high schools of
! the state. Supervisor Touton rates
/ your school as one of the good schools
of the state, and is satisfied that a
high grade Of service is being rendered
by your teachers.
From an examination of the curric-
ulum offerings, it appears that your
school Is now offering varied type of
opportunities to the pupils who are
enrolled. Where pupils have the op-
portunity to choose as do the pupils
in your school, attention is certainly
being given to the individual differen-
ces which exist among the pupils in so
large student body.
The report indicates that your school
is we'll organized and that your princi-
pal has his problems we'll in hand.
The discipline is reported as being en-
tirely> satisfactory and there is evil
Gence of good cooperation between
your principal and teachers.
AS you know, the sanitary conditions
of your building are not up to stand
ard. The lighting supply to your class
rooms is in many cases inadequate.
The building is kept fairly clean. The
ventilation, however, is not good. The
toilets are kept in fair condition and
inadequate provision is made for sup
plying drinking water and for supply
ing towels and washing facilities. Some
of these items can be taken care of
even though the building is in general
unsatisfactory. The building isl Of
course, old, out-of-date, inadequate to
adapted to the types of work which
the present needs Of the school, poorly
are being conducted therein, very poor
ly lighted a fire trap, and requires of
pupils altogether too much climbing
of stairs. The building has already
served the school for thirty years.
During at least a part of that time
it has been very unsatisfactory.
The general equipment of the build
ing seems to be fairly good. Adequate
provision seems to be made on the
score of maps and fairly good list
Of reference books is made available
through your school library.
In the classroom work observed, our
supervisor found some good work in
progress. Your teachers seem to be
ambitious, fairly well trained, bust
ness-like in the conduct of their work
and in general, resourceful. The pu-
pills seem to be Industrious, courteous
and DESTROYS of doing a good grade of
work. A good spirit seems TO be pre-
yalent throughout the school,
In the conferences which were held
with your high school teachers on May
10th and with certain groups of high
school teachers along with the junior
high school mathematics teachers on
May 18th, Mr.. Touton found that your
teachers show a wholesome interest in
the modern educational problems. The
spirit in which they accept suggestions
and the evidence which is at hand that
they are using on the whole, modern
educational methods gives ground for
a. conviction that your faculty aims TO
render to Kenosha the very best serv-
ice which is within their power.
The report indicates that Principal
Tremper and Supervisor Touton had a
conference with Supt. Loomis in which
certain matters were discussed. From
the report submitted by Supervisor
IOuLUUB SQSSSbG IudC Vic AO1AOWAhS
items be given early consideration by
your board:
1-SchoOI Building.
A new and modern school building
should shortly replace the old, out-of-
date building now in use. The boys
and girls in the senior high school at
Kenosha> deserve far better school
housing conditions than are now pro-
vided. / am conscious of the fact that
this matter has been uppermost in the
minds of your board for some time.
feel it my duty, however, to urge that
no steps be omitted in putting forth a
program which will shortly result in
the erection of new and modern high
school.
2-PhysicaI Education.
The pupils of all high schools need
opportunities for training in physical
education and health problems. I trust
that it may be possible for your board
to provide adequate instruction in
these subjects for both boys and girls.
To do this work satisfactorily, some
provision must be made in the way Of
a building. 1t is probable that a set
of temporary barracks will need to be
constructed anyway to accommodate
the needs Of your student body for
next year. When this construction is
going on, barracks designed for ply
