OF the high school faculty last year,
four had degrees. This year one more
degree will be added to this. Mr..
Galbraith, Mr.. Warren, Miss Foster,
Miss Wright and the new principal
hold degrees. The four people Just
mentioned all hold the degrees of
Bachelor of Science in Education from
the Springfield State Teachers Col
lege.. All of them have also done ad-
ditional work above their degrees.
There are two others of this faculty
who lack only very few hours OF
securing the Bachelors degree. The
average number of hours of college
credit held by the high school faculty
is considerably over one hundred.
The standard Of the grade teachers
also has been raised this year. Their
college work ranges from thirty to
ninety hours, and the average is about
sixty. The proper spirit of growth
and development is shown by the fact
that almost every teacher in the sys-
tenn has attended school or has taken
correspondence work during the sum
mer.
There is yet another factor which
tends toward good schools, and that
is CHe SCHDlllIy Ol tIlc VcoCiAuS AVASS'
Of the thirty teachers in the system,
only three are inexperienced and only
three others are new in this system.
This certainly speaks well for the
board Of directors and also for the
spirit Of cooperation and encourage
ment manifested by the people Of Mo-
nett.
If we all, parents, neighbors, stu
dents and teachers, accept our share
Of the responsibility there is no reason
why we should not be able to make
very definite progress every year in
our schools.
1t is the aim of the board and facul-
ty this year to maintain the standard
of athletics and outside activities and ;
to raise the standards of scholarship.
This can be done if everyone will
do his part.
