SECOND SEMESTER
INCREASES WORK
SCHOOLS AT BUSIEST STAGE
NEWS NOTES ON VARIOUS
ACTIVITIES

the second semester. It took three
days to get the hundred and thirty
high school students back into regu
lar running order. Part of this de-
lay was caused by the new system OF
checking text books. All of the high
school and eighth grade books (about
1000) had to be checked for condi-
ton, as each pupil is now required
to make deposit of one dollar in
order to insure the return of the
books at the end Of the year. When
books are checked in, the dollar is re-
turned to the pupils. Loss of books
and careless use of texts caused this
policy to be adopted. Some time was
taken to arrange a schedule that
would furnish all students with max
imum amount of work.
New Subjects
The new subjects in the schedule
this semester are typewriting, fresh
man sociology, botany, commercial
geography, political economy, Amer
ican civics, business English, primary
methods, vocal music, solid geometry
and nature study.
The delay in the high school has
caused the promotions in the grades
to be held up. These will be made
this week. Promotion certificates
have been given to those earning
them. The promotions are such as
to make new alignment of teachers
necessary. Miss Bakken will have
second and third, Miss Couey will
have the first grade, Miss Randall
will have part of the third and part
of the fourth. The other teachers
have the same grades as last semest-
er The fifth, sixth and seventh are
extremely heavy, from 46 to So pu-
pills, and it may be necessary to en-
ploy another teacher to give relief |
to these grades.
Heavy Enrolment
The high school is as crowded as
ever. A few students dropped out
at the end of the semester but others
we're ready to take their places.
Miss Knobel, of the State depart
ment, and Supt. Nina McFarlan
visited us last week. Miss Knobel
was amazed at our enrolment as
with that of our neigh
boring schools. Her chief remark
vas: ''I don't see how you get so
many students into one building" g
The answer is that the students CO.
operate and this does much towards
making a difficult situation easy. !
Two history instructors have been '
ired and both have backed out t
