The clean school contest this year
proved very valuable movement in
the schools. All the buildings and
grounds are cleaned by the cooper.
alton of teachers and children and
the books were cleaned and repaired
in practically all rooms Of the sys-
tenn by the children. The better care
of books and euipment was not how
ever. the chief value. The habits
and ideals developed in the children
and the training for proper attitude
Of citizenship are the real values.
This work should by all means be
continued in the schools.
The high school has wonderful
growth since we decided to establish
II three years ago. This year 1t
reached its maturity and graduated
its first class of fifty-fve well pre-
pared students. It made also an ex-
ceptional record in athletics. But
Some of the departments have reach
ed the height Of their usefulness until
this is furnished. These are mechan-
ic arts, home economies and physical
education departments. And these
are the departmnts most in demand
in modern high school. A new
building with the first floor for me-
ichanic arts and the second for a
gymnasium, should be built at once.
This need is the more urgent because
by orders from church school head
quarters the B. Y. C. will elimin-
at high school work beginning next
year. The high school plant will
therefore be seriously inadequate to
Inject the needs unless something is
done Immediately.
The community picture show has
Ifunctioned well as public entertain
ment this year There have been
rumors of slight opposition on the
part OF picture companies. But this
is groundless. When commercial the
stre companies see that we are Great
ing the moving picture habit and es-
pecially the taste for the high and
good they will cooperate with the
community instead of opposing. This
feature of the high school has met
the hearty support of its patrons
The high school should provide q
brief period next year during which
students may cat light lunch. From
1880 a. m. to 80 p. m, is too long
for growing young people to 20 with
tout food. 4 room should be fitted
up where bottled milk and crackers
can be served at cost and where
light lunches brought from home
can be eaten.
The high school had a book drive
this year. During the week set apart
for this purpose about 1900 books
were gathered Many OF these were
of course, not adapted to high schoo
use. Goa olucntly some were burn
ed and many better adapted to cit!

BY reason of this large collection

library room must be provided. Tn
, old room is entirely inadequate t.
the new and increased needs OF tn
