ANNUAL REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT Of SCHOOLS
COLEMAN DEAL WITH EVERY PHASE
OF SCHOOL ACTIVITIES

The annual report of Superintendent of Schools W. H.
Coleman, which is being published in The Republican this
week, should be carefully read by every patron of School
District No. 3.
Supt. Coleman in this report touches upon every matter
affecting the education of the children of this district and
he brings many interesting questions before the people.
Supt. Coleman has divided his report into nine chapters
and deals with various school affairs as follows: l. Intro
duction; III. Organization and Administration III. The Teach

School Normal Training, (6) an ex-
ira teacher for the fifth grade, CD
and an extra teacher for the sixth
grade.
The special teacher for penman-
ship proved so satisfactory last yea
that it was decided to designate a
full time teacher to supervising and
teaching this subject.
In a few of the cities of the mid
die west, teachers requirements have
been lowered. In Rawlins, the high
qualifications set by the Board Of
Education have been maintained. In
nearly all cases the teachers elected
for the coming year have qualifica-
tons considerable above the mini
mum requirements set by the board.
The Curriculum
Acting upon the suggestion Of the
state department of education, a
course in normal training has been
added to the high school curriculum
for the coming year. In the nearby
states of Colorado, Kansas. and
Nebraska this course has aided ma
terially in raising the standards Of
rural education.
There were twenty six normal
training high schools in Wyoming
last year. Several other towns have
petitioned the state for normal train
ing recognition for next year. Since
the ours receives special state aid
the course is self supporting as will
be seen from the following data:

County Teachers Fund---- All
Total 2,O58
One teacher ------------$1,757.50
Supplies for LIST year not to
exceed -------- ------ 10000
Total 2,O57.5O
The above figures are based on
last years records, but the oil royal
ty will probably be $500 greater next
year.
The problem of finding a room was
solved when the high school principal
offered to give up his office for this
purpose.
Some of the teachers in Carbon
County are graduates Of the Rock
Springs normal training course 1t
is reported that these teachers have
given very good satisfaction. The
Introduction Of this course will give
Carbon County a chance to supply
her own normal training teachers
for her rural schools. The County
superintendent reports that over SO
per cent Of the rural teachers in this
county have less than a year OF
normal training beyond high school
graduation. Although seniors are
permitted to take this n year

course 1t is especially intended for
graduate pupils.
The usual result of a High School
normal training course is an in
creased number of pupils who event.
ually attend college. Their being
qualified to teach enables many to
earn sufficient money to continue
their education.
At my second meeting with the
Board of Education, / was instructed
to revise the program of studies for
the high school. Further instruc-
tions included the elimination of
some of the optional subjects and the
grouping of the remaining subjects
into two carefully organized courses.
1t was thought that in a small school
with u crowded conditions it
would be better to teach a few sub
jcets well, rather than to distrib-
ute effort over too wide a field. This
resulted in submission to the board
and approval by them of the follow
ing program of studies:
