WHAT WI Z OUR U PUBLIC
SCHOOLS Are DOING
The work OF. the seconds emester
has changed somewhat from that#of
the first. A number Of new subjects
are being offered which include the
following: Solid Geometry, Occupa-
tibns, Civic( Economics, Advanced
Woodwork, Freshman mechanical
Drawing, Commercial Geogr Apply,
Home Managem ents and General. Geo
graphy. The enrollmen in all of the
classes is exceptionally large, in fact,
many of the teachers are carrying en-
tirely too much work. Some of them
have nearly one hundred-eighty diff
ferent students in their classes each
day. This is due to the. unexpected
increase in high school attendance.
We have IS more students than were
enrolled last year. and only one tea
cher was added to the high school
force. Something must. be done to
take care Of the grade pupils who now
occupy four rooms in the high school
building. since these rooms must be
used next year for high school classes.
A new subject never taught before
in the Willmar schools is being offer
ed this semester, to take care Of the
large number Of students who are un-
able to get into any of the other. cour-
ses offered. AS no teacher was avail
able to handle this work and the stu
dents had to be Accommodated Supt-
Brohaugh is taking charge of the
class. The basis Of this course. will
be Photography, but all phases OF
Geography will be taken up. 1t is
hoped that the students taking. the
work will find it worth while -. -.
