Stucco Building This Year
Is Present Plan

The Plentywood schOls will open
Wednesday morning, September A,
Supt- w. E. Stegner announced to-
day.
All elementary grade enrolment
will take place in the respective
grade rooms at 8 a. m. Enrolment in
the high school Is desired on Friday
and Saturday of the previous week
so that sufficient time may be given
to each pupil. Late enrollments may
be made on Monday, September 2, but
it is requested that as many as pos
sible enroll Friday or. Saturday, Mr..
Stegner said. Teachers meetings will
occupy the time Of the superintend
ent Tuesday SO there will be little
opportunity for enrolling on that day.
There has been a change in grade
location for this fall which effects
the third and sixth grades. This year
the third grade will occupy the stuc-
co building and the sixth grade will
be located in the room formerly used
by the third grade. The fourth, fifth
and sixth grades will be located In
the east building where a common
entrance has been made directly to
the cloak rooms.
Supt Stegner stated that the inter
mediate grade work will be depart
mentalized this year, each Of the
three teachers teaching those. sub
jects in which they have specialized
This change will affect the fourth
grade much less than the fifth and
sixth. Special boys work will be SUI
pervised by Mr. Richardson, fifth
grade homeroom teacher, while Miss
Brix in the sixth and Miss Larson In
the fourth, will divide the girls work
in all three grades. 1t is planned to
greatly enrich the work Of these
three grades this year.
Aeveral worthwhile changes are
being made in the Junior and Senior
high school programs this year.
Science will be introduced in the
eighth grade, General Mathmatics in
the seventh and Literature in the
seventh. 1t is planned to follow these
changes next year with Science In
the seventh and General MATHEMATICS
in the eighth.
The Literature Course was intro
duced into the eighth grade two
years ago. These changes were ap
proved by the State department al
though they had been contemplated
for some time. The condition of
textbooks on hand has been an i'm
portant factor in making such chan
ges in curriculum. In the Senior high
school, Shorthand will be offered to
Seniors for credit and will take its
place in the regular program. The
Vocational Civics, Junior Business
and American Problems courses will
be much enriched this year with
material aimed to particularly teach
our young people more about the
conditions now existing and antici-
pated changes in the world of today
and tomorrow. The material will in
clude, Business, Industrial, Social
and Political conditions.
The high school program has been
made just as broad as possible this
year. The usual required subjects re-
main the same Is in other years and
follow the standard requirements
for College and University entrance.
In each year of high school there will
be at least four electives offered,
from which two may be chosen.
Special permission must be obtained
to carry more than four subjects.
Each pupil who may have failed to
pass in any subject or has an inc0m-
plete to be finished, should be GER
tain to call attention to this at the
time of enrolment 80 such condition
may be corrected at the earliest pos
sfble time. The school record will be
at hand but a double check is advis-
able.
The following list Of subjects, in
dicated by the year or grade In
which they are Offered, should be
studied carefully before coming to
enroll, Mr.. Stegner said. A discus
sion at home concerning the pro-
gram to be selected, will greatly
facilitate enrolment.
The required subjects for the Sen
Tor year are: English and American
Electives for Seniors are:
Physics, Home Economics, Tipping,
Mechanical Drawing and
Public Speaking. In order to be ell
gible for graduation one must have:
four units OF English, three units Of
History and Social Science, two
