Classes
The Public Schools opened for
the year’s work on Tuesday Sept 3,
with an enrollment the first day of
nearly two hundred and fifty. The
teachers in charge are H. C. ()stein,
Supt. and I’rin. of the High School,
Miss Davies, assistant in High
School, Miss Rodine, seventh and
eighth grades, Miss Murphy, fifth
and sixth grades, Miss Collier, third
and fourth grades, Miss Yeo second
grade, and Miss Logan, first grade.
The first and second grades are
assembled in the G. A. R. Hall and
old M. E. Church.
School opened earlier than usual
with the intention'of having a full
nine months term.
Because of the
earlier opening many did not enter
on the first day.
Regular attend
ance from the start is necessary
for the best work and all who expect
to attend during the year should be
gin at once. This is especially im
portant in the High School since
the work is usually new to the stu
dents, and a few weeks lost at the
beginning of a new subject places a
handicap upon the student for the
entire year.
The HighSchool is
offering.three full year’s work with
the following Subjects;
Algebra,
Geometry, 1st, 2nd and 3rd year
English, General History, American
History, and Constitution, Botany,
First year Latin, Caesar, Book keep
ing.
In accordance with the law passed
by the legislature a few years ago
this is the year for the adoption of
new books in all the public schools
of the State. These books are se
lected by a state text book com
mission, the commission being ap
pointed by the governor.
These
selections were made by the com
mission last spring and the ^books
are now being placed in the various
grades, and will be used for the com
ing six years. The State board of
Education lias also made some
changes in the course of study to
make it conform to the new books
adopted.
In the third and fourth grades,
Miss Collier, teacher, there were
over seventy pupils enrolled the
first day. This makes it necessary
to employ an additional teacher,
which will be done as soon as the
board is able to secure a suitable
room A new compulsory attendance
law was enacted by the legislature
last winter. This law provided that
all children between the ages of nine
and fourteen shall attend school
during the entire time school is in
session. This law will be enforced
by the proper authorities.
Miss Martina Theil will arrive
shortly to take charge of the Fourth
grade.
The Third and Fourth
grades are now together, but they
will be divided. Another teacher
may lx* required later. New pupils
will commence later and must neces
sitate another such instructor.
