The following article was written
for publication In the Artemesia of
the class of 1922, of the University
of Nevada. by Carol Dressler. a
student at the Douglas high school,
and won the prize as the best article
written by the students of the
school:
The Douglas County high school
came into being by q vote of the
taxpayers of Douglas county on
January 18th, 1909. Although the
Gardnerville district had maintained
high school few years previous
to the above date. the new high
school with the support of the en-
tire county proved to be a great
success. The high school at first
occupied two rooms in the Gard
nervlle district school. Later, on
account of the increase Of pupils.
both In the grammar school and
high school,, It became necessary
that the high school have building
Of its own. The taxpayers of Doug
las County gave their hearty sup
port, and In 1915. a new brick build
ingwas built ON the State High
way between Gardnerville and Min
den.
The new building Is now one Of
the best equipped high schools In
the state. 1t is provided with steam
heat, adm fire extinguishing appar-
atus, and has we'll equipped science
and Home Economics laboratories
and library. Back of the main
building Is workshop built by the
pupils of the class In Farm Me-
chanics. This shop is the only one
OF its kind In the state.
There arc 1cw sixty :e-sa pupil:
attending the high school. thirty Of
whom are freshmen. Through the
securing of good teachers. and the
support given by the people Of
Douglas County, 1t has become pos
sible to offer courses OF advanced
bra. Physics and Spanish III are
now being taught. The four reg
ular courses are: General, Scien-
tific. Commercial and Agricultural.
The boys and girls of the high
school have nearly always had
basketball teams. In 1914 and1915
our boys won state championships,
while last year they ranked third
among the high schools Of the state.
The spirit of the high school is
best shown by the basketball teams
which always play a fast and snap
by game.
The chief organization OF the
high school is the Student Council,
which is composed of the officers
of the Literary Society. the Class
presidents and representatives, and
semi-annually as are the officers
of the Literary Society. which is
Society which was organized last
year, is composed of the basketball
players that have won their "D's"
for excellent playing.
The Douglas County High School
can now we'll be classed as one Of
the leading high schools OF the
state, not because 1t employs q
large number of teachers. nor
that there is large attendance. but
because Of the efficient instruction
received there

vote on a minor point would compel the
government to resign.

Subsequent speakers reinforced the
plea that the leaders should endeavor to

possible compromise. Two plans wera

duties on imported merchandise COM
parable with American made goods
would be assessed on the value ot the
domestic produced articles. Imported
goods not comparable with American
products would pay q duty on the basis
OF the wholesale selling price OF those
goods in American markets.
The Other plan. Mr.. Fordney said.
was to assess all ad valorens duties on
the basis OF the wholesale selling price
Of the imported articles IN the msrkets
OF the United States. This IS the plan
proposed by members OF the tariff COM
mission and the court OF customs ap<
peals and was considered a. length by
the senate finance committee before ths
tentative agreement was reached last
week TO accept the principle OF foreign
valuation with bolstering provis1ons fof

apparent at once that ultimate identifi-

them unrecognizalble Many were
lacking arms and legs, some were head

will be avoided. The Ard Fheis, the

journed until tomorrow with instructions
to the leaders Of the two parties to come
together and devise a plan to keep
the Sim Fem organization united.
This unexpected outcome was due to
the direct initiative of the meeting IN
general, and was not prompted by the
leaders of either side. After Eamon De
