The Heppner Public School System is well organized and is doing as good if not better work than any sys tem its size in the state. A survey of the school was made last year un der the direction of the University of Oregon. It brought out many facts about the condition of the school and the weak places are being brought upto standard. In order to do this Normal graduates are employed foi the grades and University graduates for high school. There are nine teachers doing grade work and six in the high school.

There has been an increase in the enrollment and the building is no v. crowded and has made it necessary to put one grade room in the high school section and the music room in the basement. At the present time there are many outside pupils attending in high school. There are 44 in the Freshman class with an enrollment in high school of 100. There is a great need for better fa cilities for play during the com weather and a better gymnasium. The old fair building is too far from the school to successfully handle the athletics. The first graduating class from the four courses was in 1911. Today there are 83 graduates. The 1911 class numbered 8 students. The 191$ class numbered 23 students. Of the total number of graduates 30 have attended higher institutions of learning: 8 have been graduated and 9 are now attending colleges or Uni versities. Faculty members: D. W. Boitnott, L. A. Burlingame, Commercial; Ber nlce Dafoe, Music; June Beebe, La- weekly and monthly periodicals.
