PHONK 100 SIMMER TELLS POOL PLANS Hig alands Principal Urges Larg?r Daily Attendance Jhe Highlands school will open at 8:45 a. m., the same hour as last year, Thursday, September 4, Principal O. F. Summer announced this week. A teachers' meeting, set (or 2:30 p. m. on Wednesday, will pre cede the school opening. Due to a low attendance aver age last year, the high school lost one teacher, Mr. Summer said, but he added that the county and state school offic ials have decided to allot three high school teachers to High lands school for the year 1947 48, so that the school may keep an accredited high school such as It has had since 1932. This means, Mr. Bummer said, that all high school work will be ac cepted by colleges on the same basis as other high schools of the state. Pointing out' that the allot ment of an extra teacher not earned by average dally atten dance is only for one year, the state school officials haying stressed this fact in a letter to the county superintendent, Mr. Summer said It Is very neces sary that the patrons of the school make .every effort to build up. the high school enroll ment to a point where it can maintain the average daily at tendance of 60 students on which a three-teacher high school is based. In this connec tion he said the elementary school attendance should be im proved from the first grade up, adding that on the basis of the number of elementary school children residing in this dis trict, Highlands should have a high school of 100 students. Mr. Summer remarked that the attendance in the elemen tary school- was lower the past year than it should have been, and that many failures were due to poor attendance.
