School Seeks Rating; Plans
Made for Commencement
By FANNIE L. HAY
W. S. Ku? Ui?b School vu viiil
ed *ece?tl? by Dr. S. E. Duncan,
tttc supervbor of high schools.
Vekrw is a report of Dr. Diwii's
W. a King School is leaking
state actreditmefit and has gone a
long way toward meeting the re
quirements thereof. This report m
a MKflt to the report of
March 2, 1856. The high school en
rolment has grown to approxi
mately 100 pupils instructed by a
staff of four teachers and approxi
mately 300 pupils in the elementary
department.
The plant consists of 10 element
ary classrooms, 4 high sc. tool class
rooms, library, gymnatorium, ad
ministrative office",, storage space
and a lunchroom. The lunchroopt
and foot elementary classrooms
were completed since our last visit.
Office equipment meets standard
to a good extent. A school clerk
has been employed to reduce rou
tine duties of the principal, who
teaches four classes per day, and
to provide additional time for di
rect supervision.
The librarian has more than 30
hours in library science as well as
a MS degree in library science and
? MS degree in English. It is sug
gested that she be permitted to
supervise the library for three or
more periods per day, and to pro
vide additional time for direct su
pervision, that these be spaced so
her services may be most effec
tive.
This school has one of the best
trained faculties for its size in the
state. Three of the four high school
teachers and three of the 10 ele
mentary teachers hold master's
degrees. Others are working to
wards them.
Among other equipment are in
ter-communication system, film
strip projector, typewriters, add
ing machines, mimeograph ma
chine, miraeoscope and telephone.
Suggestions for Improvement
1. The library accession record
should be sent to the state depart
ment for evaluation and sugges
tions according to classification ol
books bimI othtr imttriilfl that my
be needed to meet state standard.
2. Wall tables should be built in
the science room and gas provided.
3. The experiments to be per
formed next year should be select
ed and sufficient chemicals and ap
paratus ordered for the same.
4. It is saggested that the prin
cipal file with the Annual Report
a supplement describing all im
provements made since our visit
an March 13, and those anticipated
at the end of this school term.
The superintendent, principal,
members of the Board of Educa
tion and faculty and all concerned
are to be commended for the im
provements that have been effect
ed at the school. It is hoped that
it will be possible for the school to
attain its desired goal in the imme
diate future.
If we can be of service in this
endeavor between now and the
time that the state committee
meets for consideration of the
school's application for accredita
tion, please let us know.
The science suggestion is in the
making. The library accession rec
ord is being checked. We believe
that we have met the require
1 ments, we are looking forward to
the committees'* meeting.

ing this year throughout the schools
