The pupil ' government of the Bteph
ens .school, East Seventh and East Jlar-
litton streets, has pa seed the experiment'
" stag and is now an acknowledged
: success. It has taken two, years for the
pupils, the, teachers and', the parents
to'become- accustomed to )U but now
hat the government of the Stephens
School City has become a matter of
outine, the results greatly exceed ths
most favorable predictions. '
.The school officers oonslst of a may
or, chief of police, school. Judge, school
clerk, clerk of the court and other mine
officials. These officers are eletfted year
ly by the pupils and the procedure 1
patterned after a regular . city election.
Ballots are printed and regular .elec
tion board appointed., A registration
bonk Is also used and alt pupils must
register, before voting.
Two weeks before election- each room
. above the fourth grade elects two dele
gates to the nominating convention. This
convention Is held one week before elec
tion and two candidates are named for
eaon nice, miring tne ; weetr Derore
election the candidates are allowed to
. address the school In the assembly hall
end five their qualifications for the of
fice to which they are named.
-.- ffoUoe ars Active. .
The police system is the most Import
ant part of the school government. The
. . chief . of police appoints an 'assistant I
who helps in the discipline of the whole
school. One captain of police and two
patrolmen, of both boys and girls, are
appointed from each room and In this
way the conduct of the pupils Is per
fectly controlled.
Court Is held every Wednesday . af
ternoon where all cases of disobedience
; and laxity In discipline are tried. At
i first It was thought somewhat of a joke
to be called before the court but now
that "the pupils realise the seriousness1
of their government there'. Is no desire
wnatever to be even a "one time loser.
Not only Is the police system In ef
fect during- school hours but also in the
. rvenmg ana on baiuraays ana eunusys.
.. In this way the system of the school
is benenciai to the whole neigneornooa.
"unaer our system or scnooi govern-
mem,'! stated Principal It. K. Steele,'
. "the pupils take great pride In all of
the helpjng activities of the school. The
teachers are relieved Of three-fourths of
the monitorial duty which enables them
to spend their Strength In the real class
work; and the teachers and pupils have
ben gradually but effectively brought
into Closer and lasting cooperation, in
all particulars our system is 'a great
success." -CUrls
Save Gardens.
Athletics play a prominent part In the
school lif of the pupils of the scnooi.
' Handball 1s the principal exercise of
both boys and girls and some very good
players have been developed, lourna-
' 'ments are held each term and letters
ttlven to the best Dlayers of each room.
. The boys always have their school' ath-
. letlo teams but this year the baseball
team got off to a bad start with the
result that they have lost air but one
game.
The school garden contest has created
unusual Interest among the pupils and
every plat of the community garden
has been assigned. The Community gar-
'Commodates 60 pupils. Forty more pu
pils 'Will cultivate home gardens.
Tha Stephens school maintains a
: complete manual training department
for Joys and sewing class for girls.
Many of the boys have shown excep
tlonal ability with the result that some
very splendid pleoea of furniture have
been made. The girls have also entered
the advance part of the sewing work
and many of them are now making their
own garments.
Nor Is the social life of the pupils
overlooked. Each term school entertain
ments are prepared In which all of the
students take part. The school has a
boys' quartet and a glee club composed
. of boys and girls. They -have alwaj
proven successful features of the school
entertainments.
With so many varied school activ
ities. ltrTtnlght appear that the regular
class work of the pupils la overlooked,
but Principal Steele states that since
' the advent of the new system of school
