We want to be gin work the flrBt hour; to do this we must have tools. Last year too many pupils (ailed. 'TWs Is particularly true in the high school. Nearly all the boys (ailed on one or more studies. This is not nec essary; it means that there was to* little study. The school is not to blame (or all of this. The teacher can not regulate the lite ot the pupil al ter he leaves school. Lessons may be assigned (or study at home, but the teacher Is powerless to enforce this study. When your boy tells you he has time In school to do all of the study necessary to get along with high school classes, he is probably de ceiving himself and yon. The Lord duknot make many boys of this sort and very (ew of them live in Louis burg. To do a satisfactory Job of high school work there should be at least two hours of study out of school, either in the afternoon or evening. This leaves ample time (or recreation, but not much for high class, gilt-edge. 1 lue-rihbon leafing. Too many of our beys are authorities on the batting averages of the blfc league players; the knockout* ot the prise fighters, the merits of the movie stars, but they know almost nothltlg about the studies necessary to get through high school and into college. While I am writing this too many of them are sitting on boves on our streets doing nothing. In many instances they know how to do nothing, and apparently they are sat felled. Shall we continue to train our boys for this sort of living? If the school and the borne will co-operate In the right way we can do more for the fine fellows now in high school than we have don* In the pest If you leave the entire Job to the school, your bey will probably be a worthy suc cessor to the fellows who have failed in their work in the past.

There seems to be some misunder standing among our patrons as to what a student must do to graduate from our high school. Do I have to study this or that? No, you do not have to study anything you do not want to study; in fact it is likely you will not do so even.if you enroll for the class, Rut to get a certificate of graduation from the high school you must atudy and study to pass a credi table examination of the following subjects: English lor four years. History for two years and one year of this must lie American History ."./Two years 6f r.ne foreign language?either Latin or Frenchy Two years of Algebra or Geometry. For the remainder of your course, you may select anything,, you desire from our Menu, but before you begin to pick your subjects it will be well to decide what you expect to do after you get out of high school. If you thiak of going to college, you will And that nearly all of these are man aged by cranky old fellows, except Loulsburg College. They have their old fogy notions about requiring cer tain Subjects for entrance. No amount Oi' argument you can put up will make one of these hard-headed high-brows change the regulations he has laid down for his school. If you do not know how to find oyt what they want, ccme to the off ice at the Graded School Iwe will help you.
