Devoted Humboldt County High School
THE HUMBOLDT
May Livngstone Editor Eva Menicucci Assistant

An assembly was called Tuesday
morning by Mr.. Scott IN order to
discuss several things of interest.
A Junior Rifle Club is being
organized among the boys of the
high school over the age of seven
teen. Mr.. Scott is interested in
having all the boys join who are
eligible. There isn't anything like
trying once, anyway, SO large
number of boys are expected to
join.
The lumber has been purchased
to build a fence around the track
in order to keep sheep and cattle
off of the premises. The work will
begin in a few days.
The SINCE Hemstiching machine
has been ordered and will arrive in
a few days. This will be quite an
addition to the girls economic de-
partment.
A Monroe adding machine has
,een ordered for the commercial
department. When it arrives we will
nave one of the best equipped COM
nercial departments in the state.
The commercial department of this
aigh school is offering as complete
4 course in commercial lines as
can be obtained at any business
college or any other school in the
state.
Due to the political rally being
held Thursday night the basketball
games between the high school team
and the town team will be held Sat
urday night. The boys line up will
be Elwyn Hubbard, Mateo Legarza,
Clyde Brown, Joe Organ, Charles
Gartiez, Joe Gerntain, Charles
Brown, Bob Bankifier, and Gerald
holloway. The girls are playing
n the preliminaries. The boys are
oracticing very hard and are look
ng forward to victorious game.
1t was also announced that the
report cards would be given out
every Tuesday at noon and are to
be returned by Wednesday noon.
Those who have not returned them
will be sent home for them and then
make up five times the time it takes
to get them after schol. Woe! to
hose who forget them.
All the girls reported for physical
training Thursday and all those
having doctors certificates were ex-
cused, the rest of the girls were
turned over to Mrs. Rucker and
Miss Mcmillan. The teachers were

up by them.

The Juniors have postponed their
party until the latter part of next
week.

| (The following 10 one of a serieI
of articles that will appear from
day to day in The Silver State or

Only 45 per cent of one-room

have completed normal school.

wide.
A study made by the Bureau OF
Education in 1917 shows that on
the average rural teachers receive
annually from county superinten.
dents but one or two visits, varying
in length from one-half hour to two
hours.
In only Is per cent of the coun-
ties throughout the United States
are assistant superintendent en-
ployed; only 20 per cent have
clerical assistance; the average ter
ritory over which superintendent
must travel in order to visit schools
is 1872 square miles.
Lack of supervision creates edu-
cational insists. Very little help
can be given by superintendent
who is able to visit teacher only
twice a year. Consequently large
/, numbers of youngest, most un-
trained, least experienced teachers
in the United States are gaining ex-
perience under conditions that dc
not result in growth in teaching
skill and in the satisfaction ac-
companying such growth. Lack Of
initial training, coupled with the
absence of guidance that will help
to solve intelligently the compli-
Gated problem of teaching a one
room school, is producing every
year thousands of teachers who are
educational misfits. Society is dis.
turbed over the industrial misfit
1t should be far more disturbed
over the teacher misfit.
Supervision makes rural positions
more attractive. 1t is difficult to
secure and retain for a period OF
years the services of well-trained
teacher in one-teacher school
The position is more difficult than Q
graded-school position and the salary
is less. In the absence Of super.
vision opportunities for professional
growth and advancement are otter
lacking. Statistics reveal the fact
that in cities of the United States
of 5000 population and over, the
average length of service of ele
mentary-school teachers is 81 years
This is in marked contrast to the
average of 3.75 years spent by the
one-room school teacher in thret
different rural schools. A large

sents one Of the greatest waste.

Walter /. COhoon paid his respects to
the pastor. Rev. Henry X. Williams.
of First Baptist Church, in his talk to
the Acme Bible Glass of the First Bap-
tist Sunday School last Sunday. Mr..
Cohoon's arraignment of his pastor has
caused much talk about town. 1t seems
that Mr.. CohOon's methods of conduct
ing the largest class in the Sunday
School are Objectionable to the pastor
and ParSon Williams voiced some of
his objections when Mr.. Cohoon invited
DR.. John Saliba to address his class on
the subject of "JudaiSm's Debt to Bah
ylon." That was too much for lid
and-all'' pastor and he up and said he
didn't like it and wanted to reply to
DR.. Saliba. ThereupOn Mr.. CohoOn
girded himself and paid his respects to
the pastor. And the teacher may have
the best of it in any row that may fol-
low. as it is generally known that Mr..
Williams doesn't set well with his con-
