This is very little time to gire to this branch but it Is the best that could be done ao far. There has been some opposition to this work t This is due to a lack of understand- j lng. ThU opposition is gradually subsiding because both paplls and pa*. ' rents kre beglnnfbg to see that there - 1 is no real ground for opposition.

The cost of all this training which \ is offered to your children free so fark as they are concerned averages about < $7.50 according t</our school ccnsus, I and about 112.03 on the basis of en-Jl roilment for each child.

To be frank with you, my friends, I believe I am aafe In saying that very few of our people realize even ' faintly what a tremendous aaaet you ' have in your public achool. ' A very f?w years ago the standard of our high achool measured by I what U known as the unit system was about 9 or 10 unita, ind It was Impossible for students leaving here to enter the university or any of our higher colleges without being condi tioned in practlcaly all subject*. Now according to the rating made by the state Inapector of high schools It la ! rated in the B claaa of high rchools for thia state which means between 12 and 14 units. Our present grad uating claas can enter the institu tions with perhaps jonly ope condi tion, about onb-half unLtcp{ mathe matics, and at?out one-h^f . unit of Lain. No failures in secpnd. year. All In the department except on?? pro moted ? she not present to take ?? I ?mlnatlons. ' Some of the moat satUfactory' Ve sults of ralalng our high school course are, 1 bellrfVe. as follows: I First. StudenU are apnarently i more anxious to stay In school and i finish ths course. We have this year the largest graduating class, so far I as I know. In the history of the i schools. Second. StudenU throughout the 1 higher grammar grades and the high 1 school appear to be more eager to aUy'ln school, pass their examina tions, looking forward to the time of their graduation. t Third. There Is .-a stronger class and high spirit throughout tile de | pertinent. | Fourth. Perhaps moat Important of all I r the growing desire for high er education. We. all ... know that greater and better preparations, meana, on the whole, better service. In the present class of 16, sevon have practically made arrangements to en ter college next fall, six others ex press a desire to go later If not then, one Intends to take a Domestic Science course in Columbian Univer sity, N. and one will atudy muak aa a specialty, here for a year, then elsewhere. When thU building waa erected It U probably true that you thought you were making provision for a number of years. Every recitation room In the building, however.
