WILL Be STRESSED BY
! HIGH SCHOOL FACULTY
Added Attention to Incoming
Pupils to be Paid in Order
to Retain Their Interest.

The principle of freshman direc-

vidual attention VIII be given mem
bers Of the beginning class in high
school. will be stressed in the Pendle-
ton school this year. statement by
Supt. II. T.. Inflow indicates.
1T is a common experience in high
school work to find that when boys
and girls are confronted by the diff
ferent methods OF study. changed con-
ditions, and the new atmosphere
which confronts them in high school
many OF them are not able to adapt
themselves TO the changed order with
the result that they drop OUT either in
the freshman or sophomore year" the
superintendent declares.
In an effort TO combat this tend
ency plan has been devised this
year to give freshmen added assist
ance. Their individual needs will be
observed and then the work which
seems most likely to suit mem will, as
far as possible be given them.
Along this same line there will be
another change in that pupils in the
eighth grade who are about ready for
high school work will be given in
struction in the new conditions which
they will have to face on their ad-
vancement In other words. the new
plans call for an endeavor being made
TO assist pupils to bridge the gap
which now exists between the grade
school work and the high school
work.
Principal A. Landreth will assume
responsibility for directing this work,
ort in this special field. he viii have
the assistance of Miss Elizabeth Sew
eiance who last year was head of the
English department as we'll as fresh
man advisor. Her unusual sue ,ess. in
the eapac city of an advisor ca1sA9 a
request to be made to her to have a
part in the new work this year which
she consented to do.
The Pendleton high school has been
able to hold larger percentage of its
students than any other high scnool
in Eastern Oregon, Supt Inflow de-
cares and the introduction of inc new
methods is expected to strengthen tie
schoci's position in this respect.
