WORKSHOP SCHEDULED The schcdul? of studies will con tinue from Tuesday thwiugh Thursday, but there will be no school Friday which date has been set aside for the Columbia county teach r workshop at St. Helens. School will resume Tuesday morn ing, September 8, following Labor day. One change that will take place this year concerns the study p riod which has been a part of each student's class schedule who are carrying heavy college pre paratory subjects. The new set-up provides for six class p riods each day instead of the normal five classes and one study period. This procedure, which will be new here this year, is now becoming gen ral practice in many schools of the state. WORK ARRANGED I f | • ’ • ! ’ I The average class period of 55 minutes is arranged so that during the first 10 minutes students re- c ive their assignments for the next day, half is devoted to reci- tation and the remainder of the time to study of the next day’s work. A course in office practice will b? added to the commercial de- partment for which Mrs. Sid Sor- enson is instructor. The course will include instruction in appiy- ing for a job, how to receive the public and practice work on such office machines as the calculator, dictaphone and transriber. A class in Spanish was offered last y°ar for the first time in several years, but is to be dis continued and no foreign lang uage will be instruct d this year. The class is being dropped here partially because of lack of in terest and partially because gen eral practice throughout the state in smaller schools is to discontinue- foreign language instruction.
