Announcement
THE SCHOOL
It i the policy of the Crook County High School to recognize

student that nuy wish to attend. The primary aim of the school is
to furnish u broad and complete a course a possible to those who
' find that they cannot carry on their education farther than gradua
tion from either of it four year courses. The secondary aim i to
furnish the student with a complete preparation for entrance in
college.

work a appended above. It possesses a splendid library of over a
thousand volume of reference works. The phyiical and chemical
laboratories aro well equipped with &pxaU4 and material so that
students taking the scientific and the agricultural courses will receive
every possible advantage.
The school has just completed fine new building 32x80 feet to be
given over exclusively to Manual Training and Domestic Science and
Art The Domestic Science and Art department will occupy a floor
pace of 110x32 feet and the Manual Training department will occupy
the balance 32x.'i0 feet. The building is a credit to Crook county and
is not surpassed in excellence in Oregon outside of Portland. Much
new equipment is being installed in both of these departments which
makes it quite possible for students enrolled therein to do very
efficient work.
A VARIETY OF COURSES
v In order that students and patrons may not feel that the school
requires subjects that are useless and unnecessary to their best
interests, the number of REQUIRED subjects has been considerably
decreased snd the privilege of election on the part of the Btudent has
been greatly extended. In granting this privilege the faculty has
exercised care to offer no elective subjects that will lower the
. standard of the school.
There are five distinct courses offered, viz: English, Scientific,
Commercial, Normal and Agricultural. The latter is a new depart
ment just established and promises to be one of the mcst popular
courses offered. The Normal course has been revised and strength
ned by adding a number of Normal School subjects. Students may
receive real normal school methods and practice teaching here.
Graduates of this course will receive without examination a one-year
state teacher's certificate. Besides the courses mentioned above,
- courses in public speaking and debate will be offered. Any student
who desires to elect the study of music and devote one hour each day
to practice will receive two semester credits each year for same.
Provided, that no student shall receive credit for the study of music
except by the authority of the superintendent.
STUDENTS
' The student may elect either of the five courses. A diploma
from either will admit the bearer to the State University or to any
university or college in the state without examination.
"A student is expected to carry four subjects but no one who
receives any grade below 85 will be permitted to carry more than
four subjects at one time.
A credit is one semester of successful work in a subject A
total of thirty-two credits are required for graduation.
Credit will be given for proof of successful work done elsewhere.
No student who is not carrying full work, earning passing grades,
nor exemplary in deportment will be permitted to represent the
school in athletic or other school contests.
The Faculty of Crook County High School consists of Specialists.
The members have been chosen from the best schools and colleges of
Oregon, Washington and Idaho for their particular department"
The Board has left nothing undone to provide for the youth of Crook
county, school facilities second to none in the state. For any particu
lar information, communicate with
H. C. BAUGHMAN,
Superintendent, Prineville, Oregon.

session Tuesday evening. Present
Mayor Clifton, Councilmen Ward,
Lafoilette, Cooper and Gray, Re
corder Bowman, Marshal Coon and
Nightwatch Huston.
The cement sidewalk proposition
brought out a number of business
men to discuss the matter with the
council. Some were in favor of the
walks and others objected to build
ing at this time.
A request for aid to help out
with the Frank Hoffman road was
put up to the council by Messrs.
King and Hyde. While the senti
ment of the council was in fayor of
the matter there wa no way in
which that body could do bo legally.
The mayor volunteered to head a
delegation to call upon the county
court to see if the needed assistance
could not be secured from the
county. The mayor's offer was
accepted and the councilmen will
meet with the commissioners at a
convenient time.
The following bills were ordered
paid:

A new weed ordinance was passed
by the council. . The old one con
flicted with the state law so that
prosecutions under it could not be
made to stick. Its different now.
You can be soaked all the way from
10 to 1100 and costs for not com
plying with its provisions.
Councilman Ward was instructed
to make arrangements to have the
fence running by the city jail either
repaired or rebuilt.
Councilman Gray was instructed
to look after the sidewalk on the
north side of the city park. Also
to look after the piling at the city
dam.
Three bids were opened for doing
all the necessary work on the new
cement sidewalks, crosswalks, etc.
Only two, however, were accom
panied by a certified check for 1500
those of James & Morgan and
Gibb & Metkc. J. G. Bulger over
looked that little detail so his bid '
was not given much consideration. '
No action was taken on the bids
s the members of the council
wished to do a little figuring for
themselves. The matter was new.
to all and they wanted to become
familiar with details before com
mitting themselves. A special ses
sion will be held for further con
sulfation.
LATER.
A special session of the council
was called Wednesday to consider
the cement sidewalk matter and it
was decided to reject the bids,
The price asked was considered too
high. The recorder was instructed
t. read ver Use .for bids. The ad
vertisement will be found elsewhere
in this issue..
Mayor Clifton and councilmen
waited on the county court in re.
gard to the Hoffman road. The
commissioners went over the matter
with them and agreed to stand good
for the additional expense.
