On Many Valuable
Course#
The public and hgh schools began the
year’s session Monday, with a decidej
increase in attendance over that o f last
year. In the High School 104 were
present, whereas 85 enrolled at the be
ginning of last year. The grade teach
ers report a total initial enrollment o f
390 The Forest Grove schools have
long had a reputation for work o f a
high standard, and this year the charac
ter of the work offered is even better
than before.
In the High School, besides the usu¡ü
courses found in a High School o f this
size, a systematic course in industrial
work is offered Although this work
has been found in the school during the
past, this year it has been reorganized
and put on a footing equal with other
work, and will be accredited as such.
The domestic science and art will be in
charge o f Miss Elizabeth Fowler, a
graduate o f Stout Institute, Wisconsin,
a school o. wide repute. The manual
training department will be conducted
by Mr Marvin E. Turner, who conus
well equipped for the work. An en
tirely new course in stenography and
typewriting will be offered this year,
and this work will be given by Mr F.
N. Haroun, who until recently taught
the above subjects in the Portland Busi
ness College. By arrangement with
Pacific University, students from the
College will take work in domestic
science and art, shorthand and type
writing at the High School, and the
High School Btudents will receive in
struction in athletics at the College gym
nasium and grounds under the College
instructor. The Board o f Education
has elected Miss Norma Bassett, of
Portland, to supervise art work in the
the grades. Miss Bassett comes highly
recommended from the school o f the
Portland Art Association, where she
has been a student aud instructor. The
supervisor of music has not yet been
selected.
It will be seen that the course o f
study in the grades and High School ie
as comprehensive as that found in the
schools o f the larger cities o f the State,
in fact, there are but few schools in
the State offering as varied and sub
stantial a course.
Superintendent Inlow is one o f the
busiest men in town this week, adjusts
ing the many school matters created by
the addition o f the new High School
building. He is planning soon to invite
the public to an opening program, at
which time the several new depart
ments will be fully equipped and ar
ranged.
To Vote on Saloon Question
Hillsboro, Special; —Petitions are be
ing circulated in Hillsboro to call a
special election in November to submit
the local option question to the voters.
There are five saloons. There is natur
ally much speculation as to the result
o f the election as the dry and wet issue
has never been submitted since the
equal suffrage has become a law.
To Give Art Classes
Provided that sufficient members en
roll the first of next week. Pacific Uni
versity will have the instruction o f
Roswell Doech in painting, sculpturing
and designing, and the appreciation o f
the fine arta. He will also offer out-of-
door sketch classes. Mr. Dosch is a
student under the French masters, and
his services, if obtained, will be highly
appreciated by the University.
