SCHOOLS
HAVE WELL ORGANIZED
STUDENTBODYAND COMPETENTTEACHERS
The members of the lone Sehoo.
Board this year, consisting of R. J.
Bristow, chairman, I. L. Howard, and
M. R. Morgan, with Delia M. Corson
as clerk, have decided to place the
lone school upon a more definite
and progressive basis so as to make
it second to none in the county in
efficiency and the variety of work
offered. The majority of the people j
agree that the time is at hand for,
the district to make bigger plans for1
the elementary and high school ed-j
ucation of young people in this part !
of the county. Just now there is
some talk in the community in favor j
of a new modern school building next :
year with a large auditorium and l
gymnasium combined.
The school board is decidedly in
favor of sufficient salary for teachers
that will secure efficient and well
trained leaders who are thoroughly
capable of handling the necessary '
courses of study and the various'
school activities such as are demand
ed in any good live community. The
average salary paid for high school
superintendent is $135 a month.
The average salary paid for high
school teachers not including the
grade teachers is $106.25 a month.
The teachers are as follows: E. R.
Curfman, superintendent; Marshall
J. Clapp, science and shop work;
Amy C. Xiblan, English and Home
Economics; Earl A. Brown, seventh
and eighth grades, athletics orches
tra and band; Meda Angell, fifth and
sixth grades; Mabel Nelson, third
fourth grades; and Martha Denny
first and second grades.
Course of Study
The School Board had the Super
intendent prepare a definite printed
Course of Study which provides for
the following courses offered each
year; 1 College Preparatory Course,
11 Scientific Course, III Commercial
Course, IV Manunl Arts Course. A
class is formed for any year's work
in any subject in the adopted Course
of Study, when four or more quali
iied pupils desire to pursue the work
in class, or when the principal be
lieves it to be for the best Interests
of the school and pupils to form such
a class.
Sixteen units or thirty-two credit
are required for graduation. A unit
consists of two credits or a full year's
work in one subject or its equivalent
of two-half subjects taken five per
iods a week. All students before
graduation are required to complete
two majors of three units each and
one minor of two units. English is
a required major for all students.
Promotions are made at the enu
of each semester. Pupils may b
promoted "on honor" (exempted
from final examinations in any sub
ject) on the following conditioni
(a) Satisfactory citizenship, this to
be determined by vote of faculty.
(b) Not more than two cases of tar
diness, which must be excusable.
and no uifexcused absence, (c) Class
average of 85 per cent. Tests are
given frequently in all subjects and
are no longer than the regular re
citation and have a value of not more
than one-third in determining the
semester average of the pupil. Spec
ial attention is given to the appear
ance and composition of the papers
and one per cent is deducted for
each mistake In spelling and grant'
mar.
The Course of Study ) made very
definite and clear in regard to regtt
larity of attendance. As a premium
on punctuality and regularity of at
tendance the following credit Is giv
en: Any student who Is not tardy to
school or to any class may have 19
per cent added to his or her class
standing In the subject which the
lowest grade lias been earned, pro
viditig in all cases a satisfactory stan
dard has been maintained in citizen
ship. The School Board has agreed upon
a definite regulation in regard to the
offurina of foreign languages. Here
tofore, principals or teacher havs
len offering UUin, or French, or
language they seemed most interest
ed in without saying anything to the
board about It, and as a result sever
al younu people in the district have
earned only from one-half to one unit
of work In Latin, or French, or Span
ish, or German. This policy has
btwn discouraged and disappointed
several language students, and is to
be stopped and only a four year
course in Latin is to be offered, unless
permission to the contrary is secured
from the State Board of Education
and the local board. English and
i atin are to be strongly emphasized
by securing a well trained and effic
ient teacher for the same. Miss
Amy C. Niblen has charge of the
work this year and is giving entire
satisfaction.
This year classes are organized In
each of the following subjects:
English I. II, III, Algebra I, Geom
etry, I, Shop Work, Latin I, Civics
and History, Physiology and Botany,
Band, and Orchestra. The average
number of pupils in each class is a
bout fifteen, except in two classes
where there are four pupils In each.
The largest class in high school is
the Sophomore with the Junior a
close second. The prospects for a
much larger high school next year is
very good, as there are now 18 enroll
ed in the eighth grade besides sever
al in near-by rural schools plan to
attend the lone Bchool next year.
The school board will permit pupils
who have reached the age of eight
teen and have not finished the
eighth grade work to enter the high
rchool without examination and al
lowed to take such studies as they
are able to carry.
The school day's work is divid
ed into four periods of not more than
90 and not less than 60 minutes
t ach. These periods are divided in
to two equal parts, one given to re-
itation, the other to study under
the supervision and guidance of the
tacher. The subjects offered e-ich
year are so arranged and organized
l'.s to give i large number of pupils
in each class and so each teacher will
have plenty of time for study super
vision and personal conferences with
pupils.
At the beginning of each semester
each pupil is required to make out
on a special prepared card a com
plete schedule of all time which is
;'Lvoted to school tasks, including
the' periods when not reciting at
..chool and the studj time at home.
One card is kept by the pupil and one
kept on file for each pupil. The pur
pose is to establish regular hours
tnd regular habits of study as well
as of other school and home activ
ities. Home Economics

a graduate of the Oregon Agricul
tural College and who taught at Du
