C0mPLETEDfO FOR YEAR.
High School Students Are
Requested To Enroll AS
Soon As Possible
(By Supt. w. f. Stegner)

Inc TnlsnIng touches are being put
on the School Buildings of Plenty
wood and on the opening day every
successful year. Paint and varnish
have been used literally to brighten
elassrooms and equipment and ever
thing has been done that is possible
to make this coming year even bet
ter than last. One new classroom has
been made there which it is hoped will
strengthen that part of our school
system. Three new teachers instead
of two will handle seventh and eighth
grade work this year. The addition
Of another teacher makes further de-
partmentalization possible and each
Of the teachers will be teaching in
his special field Of preparation. 1t
is planned to approach Junior High
School practices in these grades, just
as far as our facilities will permit.
The Plentywood High Schol will now
have a genuine library. Heretofore
the library has been in the Superin-
tendents Office and has greatly in
convenienced all parties concerned.
During the summer a small class
room has been equipped at very lit
tie expense so that it now makes an
excellent library room.
The High School will again use
the long period with its combination
Of recitation and supervised study.
The fine results obtained from this
practice last year makes it e we'll
worth while to develop the principle
of supervised study even further,
when it is considered that failures in
the High School were reduced to ap-
proximately half. A close check last
year showed a rapidly decreasing
number of failures. This was espec-
ially true in those courses such as
Freshman English, Latin l and Alge-
bra where the largest number OF
failures is usually found. Our school
has always maintained a high stand
ard of achievement but it can contin-
ue to hold to this standard only by
constant improvement. 1t is always
we'll for the patrons Of the School
to know just where their Schoo
stands among other Schools of the
State, so we might mention at this
time that the Schools of Plentywood
were given high rating from every
standpoint for this past year as well
as the years Immediately proceeding.
Our Schools were exempt from 9th
grade examinations, they were fully
accredited by the State Department
as we'll as both the North Central
the Northwest Associations of Sec
ondary School and Colleges This
means that our graduates and the
credits of our school are accepted
without question throughout the Cen
trail, the North Central and the
North Central and the Northwest
States.
las was announced last week thru
the local papers, the enrolment OF

wood will take place before the open

nice Roble. Miss Roble is a graduate
