EVANSVILLE


The following report of the Grants
vile High School, submitted by Prof.
W. w. Keesecker, the principal, shows
the marked progress Of the school, re-
porting as he does the enrolment of
65 pupils during the school year, II
Of that number Withdrawing before
the end of the term. The following is
part of the report as submitted by
the principal:
During the early part of the school
year instruction in the science courses
was greatly impeded due to the lack
| of laboratory equipment. There were,
in fact, no adequate facilities for
Thorough scientific work. There was
lno room especially adapted for labo-
ratory work. This year was the first
that physics was ever offered at this
school, and in view of this fact it was
necessary to secure a great deal of
physical apparatus. One of the rooms
! in the old part of the building was
transformed and adapted exclusively
for laboratory use. Tables, lockers
and shelves were made by the stud
ents, under the direction of the teach
| ers.
No one room in the building is
large enough to accommodate all of
the students. Hence, it is obvious
that there is a real need for an audi
torium. Only a very small percent
age of the pupils of this community
can attend any school event or pro
gram with any real satisfaction, be-
cause of the small room. Some pro-
vision should be made during this
summer for an auditorium. This can
! be done very economically by remOv-
ing the old solid partition between
two rooms and replacing it by folding
or rolling doors. | repeat, there is
| real need for an auditorium, as our
! literary and other short programs
during the year have been greatly
handicapped because of the very in
adequate accommodations for the
public.
While speaking of needs of the
school, | cannot emphasize too
strongly the necessity for the installa-
ton of heating system. This build
| ing is unusually difficult to heat, due
| to the great number of windows on
the west side and its large halls. The
halls have no heat at all, and to be in
/ them during the winter days is al
most equivalent to being outdoors.
Two of the stoves used this winter
were utterly inadequate and unsafe.
Furthermore, provisions should be
made for toilets, running water in the
Home Economics room and laboratory
and a drinking fountain. The front
part Of the old portion of the building
is certainly in need of improvement
Both the Home Economics and the
| Agriculture departments are fairly
we'll furnished, and no great amount
Of money will need be spent on them
lin September. Chemistry should be
offered next year There is need for
some extra chemistry equipment, but
ln0J great deal.
instruction in all subjects is some
what handicapped because of very
limited library. We spent approx
mately S10O for library books during
the year, most of which was for the
The Republican., 1925-07-09

New International Encyclopedia, but
many other books are needed. There
lis scarcely any fiction, nor sources for
collateral history reading.
Mr.. Keesecker further recommends
that an academic course should be
offered, as well as the general course.
as at present, and that the general
course should be arranged to offer
some business training.
1t is understand that the entire
teaching force of the school will be
changed next year, as none of those
engaged this year will return to their
places.
The following dramatic recital was
rendered at the Holmes and Wallace
studios recently, it being the sixth of

berg; piano interlude, Mrs. Diefen-
bach; musical comedy, Tommy Gets

been ordained at Susquehanna Theo-
logical Seminary, Selins Grove, Pa,
has accepted the Elk Lick charge of
the Lutheran church, which includes
St. Paul's, Greenville, Grantsville and
White Oak churches. Rev. Sigler as
sumed his duties as pastor two weeks
ago and has his home in Elk Lick.
The Women's Community Club
meeting was very interesting. Miss
Wiedman gave a splendid talk on the
subject of communicable and contag-
ious diseases, cause and protection.
Mrs. J. H. Dorsey read several inter-
esting articles on foods in sickness
and in health.
Miss Phyllis Morgart, Jennings, en-
tertained at luncheon the following
