The five city schools of Winslow
will open Monday for the 1924-25
school year, with 35 teachers, includ-
ing Superintendent OF Schools Grady
Gammage, engaged and now arriving
in the city to take up their work next
week. Superintendent Grady Gam
mage was successful in re-engaglng
most of the corp of last year teachers,
but to fill the places OF those engag-
ing in other pursuits, and those wish
ing to spend this year in school eight
new teachers were hired. They are:
Miss Nell Nj. Bloodgood, who will
teach English in the high school; Miss
Leona Hall, high school Spanish teach
er. In the junior high school new
teachers will be Mrs. Gillian F. Par
ker, Amelia J. Scott and Cecilia Fors-
berg. New teachers in the grades will
be Ruth Goldsworthy and Othea Frell-
sen in the Washington school and Vir-
ginia BLY, at Coopertown.
Monday will be given over to regis
tration in the grades and final regis
tration in the high school. The high
school will have preliminary registra-
tion tomorrow, Saturday, in order
that the rush and hurry of Monday
may be somewhat eaSed. In the grades
books will be given out and recorded
Monday, and in the high school the
list of text books needed will be hand
ed the students In the latter depart
ment books are not furnished free by
the state as in the grades, but must
hxy fJo GIN re
The course Of study as outlined by
the state department of education Will
be closely followed in the grade
schools, and in the high school sim
liar policy will be followed but the
latter course will be supplemented by
extra courses such as domestic sci
ence, vocational training, manual
training, etc, and similar subjects as
are not found in the state course of
study.
Superintendent Gammage, with the
support and approval of the school
board, contemplates for this year
system of mid-year promotions, which
will depend. however, upon the in
crease in expense. The mid-year pro
motions will be made if it is found
that enough students are forging
ahead of the regular work OF the
classes in which they enroll, to JUS
tify additional teachers, classes, rooms
and equipment, and if the expense at
tendant upon Increase in perSonnel
and plant is not too great In past
years many of the more capable and
proficient students have been kept
back because of inability of the one
wear promotion system to provide an
avenue for their going into higher
classes. Mr. Gammage feels that this
works an unjustifiable inconvenience
on the students wishing to make
greater progress in their school work
and that the more modern system OF
frequent promotions should be adopt
ed.
