some of the outstanding things which
have helped to make the County
High School plan a success.
1. A larger unit for taxation, dis
tributing the cost more equitably.
2. But a small mill levy required
to put over a first class program
Six mills being the present limit
which may be levied, some counties
levy less.
3. A larger group of students as
sembled making possibly a more ex-
tensive plan for instruction as well
as grouping students in such way
as to reduce the cost per capita.
4. A well rounded course made
possible.
5. Students brought together in
the County High School have great
er opportunities of broadening out
than in the small district high school
where courses are alternated, activi-
ties limited, and few, competition is
almost eliminated and the school
spirit missing quantity.
6. County High School organiza-
ton makes possible a first class fac
ulty selected from the best profess
sional talent and greater Opportuni-
/ ty for the students. The larger
/ group of students makes a better
/ plan for organization. Although
teachers may be paid higher salaries
/ they in turn are able to handle larg-
er classes and put over better pro-
I gram.
z. Student activities may become
well organized enhancing the bene-
fits that a student may derive.
8. In addition to a better faculty,
better equipment may also be pro-
vided thus combining three definite
advantages namely: a better faculty
better equipment and a broader edu-
cation Tor the students
