system where a definite amount is
assigned for the six weeks period,

of the period may be devoted to

THE VALUE OF A HIGH
SCHOOL EDUCATION

The following statistics are COM
piled by some OF the most prom
inent educators in the United Sta
ties. These statistics serve to show
the Importance and absolute ne
cessity of a High School education.
1t is the duty of every intelligent
person to get all the education pos
sible. 1t is a duty he owes to
himself. to his parents and to his
generation.
Statistics carefully compiled by
FORMER U. S. Commissioner of Edu-
cation. DR.. w. T. Harris show that
OF ten Thousand men who have ris-
EN- TO prominence in the U. S. in
the first hundred years of, u his
tory, not more than thirty were self
Taught men: That a boy only a
with grammar school education had
one chance in nine thousand of
reaching destination.
DR.. Harris Y A boy with a
High School training has one
.chance in four hundred, that is,
he has twenty-five times the OPP
~portunity of the boy who stopped
AZ the end of the eighth grade.
Only n in a hundred of our
people is n college graduate. yet
S6 percent OF every 100 congress-
men have been college graduates,
while so percent of III Presidents
- percent of u Vice Presidents
% percent Of our Supreme Court
Judges. and 81 percent OF our At
.orney-Generals have had college
degrees.
The following interesting data Il
TAKEN from statistics compiled b,
'ne U. S. Bureau of education.

Grammar S. pupil
H. S. Pupil

It will be noticed that the pupil
who had remained in school until
Is yrs. old. at the age of rs yrs.
was earning over 100000 a year
more than the pupil who left school
at IA years, Boys and girls should
consider carefully what it means
educationally. socially, financially
and otherwise to drop out of school
at an early age.
Our High Schools afford such
splendid opportunities for advance
ment that no boy or girl can afford
to leave school before finishing
his four years of high school work.
Suggestions
The following suggestions are of
fered in the hope that they may
assist you to develop habits that
will make you an efficient nan or
woman. We ask the cooperation of
the parents in the development of
the following habits:
1. Be sure that you understand
the lesson assignment at the time
IL Is made. Write down the more
important suggestions of the teacher
as to how to proceed. Take down
accurately the references given. In
dictate with a star 80 the most
important references,
2. Provide yourself with all the
material required to prepare the
lesson, such as s~harpened pencil
compass. ruler, maps. etc, SO that

FOOT BALL DAYS,

They're herei Those crisp fall
afternoons when eleven of the team
trot out on the field, drop into
formation over the pig-skin, and
warm up for the game. Then
comes hat ever thrilling moment of
kickoff. and all eyes watch the
oval soar gracefully to the oppo-
sition, the interference forms, and
the ball travels back until first
down. Then the quarterbacks
match wits, and out of the trick
bag come punts. end runs, passes
and plunges, The ball crosses the
goal and decides victory or defeat.
Glorious days are the days of
football, the greatest of American
high school games. Thrilling be-
cause each spectator imagines him
self carrying the ball, Drawing the
tackles, and gaining victory. The
Cody grid season opens October 9Th
when the home boys match football
wits with their old rival. Lowell
This is your first opportunity to
feel the thrill of golden football
days. Don't pass up this first op-
%portunity to support the football
team. to see the bows dash up and
down the field and win the grid
laurels for the Cody High. Come
to the game with that determined
feeling that there is to be a victory
and don't forget to give the old
victory cry when the veil king calls
for:
CO. CO. CODY.
Cody. Cody. Cody High,
CODY, CODY.

you may give your undivided at
tention to the lesson.
3. Don't lose time in beginning
to study. Be business-like. Sit
down and start to study at once.
4. Give your UNDIVIDED atten-
ton to the task before you. You
can not master a lesson if you are
thinking of something else. watch
ing your neighbor, or looking
out of the window. The student
who learns to concentrate upon his
work in spite of other attractions
will be a leader when he gets out
of school.
5. Master a paragraph at a time.
If you find a point that is difficult
or obscure, master it before you
go on to the next point. The per-
son who puts off tasks seldom does
them.
6. Set aside a period each day
for each lesson and then follow
that schedule carefully and con
sciehtiously. You will find in a
short time that you will be able
to get a particular lesson better
at a definite set period than you
car by studying it at n time one
day and a different time the next.
Z. Do individual study. Learn
to form your own judgments. to
work your own problems, The task
another performs for you will give
development and knowledge to him.
but little to you.
s. Try to put the facts o are
learning to practical use. Apply
them to present-day conditions. IL
lustrate them in terms that are
familiar to you.
Q. Review your lessons frequently
This will tend to clear up points
that were obscure and will help
you remember the essential points
a longer time.
10. Talk to your parents about
your work and urge them TO visit
your classes. Show them these sug-
