time the place where Natruna county
high school now stands will be filled
with a new building to replace the
one there. It has been found by ex-
pericnce that 1t is better to build
schools, in such a rapidly growing
as Casper, on the plan
that they can be added TO without re-
modelling the structure already put up.
This Is the method followed in build
ing all of Casper's schools.
1t has also been founc tha. students
of the seventh, eighth and ninth
grades can be taught in one body bet
ter han dividing the students at the
eighth grade. This is what is known
as the 6-3-3 system The first six
grades embodying the grade school.
tho mex three the Junior high school.
and tho last three the high school.
Placing the Junior high school in lux
deposition to the high school stimu-
lates interest among the students in
taking the opportunity OF higher ed
ucational advantages. The building
which will be erected is to be a Jun,
ior high school.
This will take c~onJestion away from
the grade school of Casper. It will
also take care Of the coming high
school students. II Casper continues
to grow as It has in the last year the
enrolment next fall will be increased

Tho need Of a new building is not
questioned by those who arc familiar

Tho new vocational high school, how
ever, is the only one Of these that can
be considered really safe and efficient.
