High School Dormitory .
Made Permanent Dept
Last October, tho Crook County
llij(h Scliool Hoard, upon the urgent
request of tho present faculty of
Crook County High School, estab
lished a dormitory for girls, renting
Stewart's hull for tho purpow. The
demand for auch a place came from
out-of-town parents who did not
wish their girl to board with at ran
ger nor kw'P houae by themselves.
The plan of running the dormi
tory la co-operative tho atudenU
paying the actual coat of living ex
penses. Each girl cares for her
own room, and assist with the
dishes, sweeping and dusting. The
house matron has charge of the
marketing, menu-planning and cook
ing. The dean has charge of the
conduct of the girls, the social ac
tivities at the hall, and tho account
books.
Such an institution was impera
tive to tho continued growth and
progress of Crook County High
School. Tho tax-payers out of town
who help eupKrt the high school
have a right to its advantages for
their children at home cost, and the
dormitory enables them to secure
auch advantages with minds free
from worry in regard to the social
and moral welfare of their children.
So successful has the present year
been that tho High School Hoard
at their lust regular meeting made
the dormitory a regular department
of Crook County High School and
are evolving a plan to care for the
boys also. It means a big thing for
the boys and girls of Crook county
it-means a practical education in
the largest, most up-to-date depart
mental high school in Oregon at no
more man home cost. It means
that boys and girls will be under
tho direct supervision of the faculty
and so will not stumble into the
pitfalls that beset unwary young
feet. It means also that the men
who have charge of Crook County
High Hchool at present know the
value and necessity of a well regu
lated dormitory and have the keen
business sense to use a plan that
will not add to the tax roll, for
under the co-operative plan the
dormitory pays for itself, building
and all running expenses.
The girls at the Hall during the
winter felt that the hall should be
named and during the absence of
the dean voted to name the ball in
honor of her, and had a sign
painted to proclaim the name to all
who could read. It was placed
above the door and the girls waited
patiently one cold winter evening to
enjoy the surprise that would be
the dean's when she saw the hall's
new name. Alas, she came long
after dark and the girls had to
take a lantern, attach it to a pole
and so show the new name Walker
IUII by its dim light, but the
name, the hall and the girls form a
part of the biggest portion of Crook
County High School's big future.

Summer Session of High
School Well Attended
Monday five more teachers regis
tered for the summer session of
Crook County High School. This
makes the attendance, including
students who are doing extra
work, about forty in number. The
teachers are doing good work. That
they are progressive is shown by
the fact that they asked for classes
in methods and handword, though
such classes made extra work for
them. Most of them are preparing
for the June examinations, but a
number are attending simply for
the help they will receive in better
ing themselves for their tfcofession.
The summer school is a part of
the normal department of the high
school which is a strong one. there
being 42 regular students in this
department which was reorganized
last fall after a lapse of one year.
The graduates of this department
have secured and held some of the
best schools in this and adjacent
counties The seniors of this year
are successfully teaching in some of
the classes of the summer school
and are gaining the approval of
those they instruct by their practi
cal methods and clear presentation
of their work.
The summer school is a regular
part of the high school course and
the good work done this year as
sures a large attendance next year.
The term will close the day before
the examination begins.
