The Globe Republican

City
Schools,
The public schools of the city opened
in regular session on September 11th,
with an auspicious showing for a year
filled with bleak financial disasters and
crop failure. New faces are to be seen
among both teachers and pupils, and
new energies are manifest in every de-
partment.
Supt. Webb has won for himself and
the schools to which he has so long de-
voted his time and talent a reputation of
which every patron and citizen should
be proud. The curriculum has long
been known to equal that of the best
schools of the state, and though but few
changes are made this year, they are
in accord with spirit of educational pro-
gress, and have the indorsement of the
school board of the city.
Prof. Warren Baker, principal of the
high school, begins his work this year
under more favorable advantages than
last. In his last class are some of the
brightest youths of the city, and we
predict that there will be more than the
usual number of happy parents when
commencement day rolls round. In the
other departments the interest shown by
teachers and pupils makes it apparent
this is to be a year of great progress in
our schools.
The studies pursued in the high school
are as follows: Virgil, English grammar
review, Latin grammar, Caesar, Elocu-
tion, Physics, Lowell's "Vision of Sir
Launfal," Mental arithmetic review,
Whittier's "Snow Bound," Rhetoric,
Irving's "Legend of Sleepy Hollow,"
Lockwood's Lessons in English, Zoology.
Physical Geography, Algebra.
The teachers for the year are-
Superintendent - E. D. Webb.
Principal High School - Warren Baker,
Third Ward - 4th grade, Miss Mary
Hale; 3rd Miss Dora Hardcastle; 2nd,
Miss Edith Ellis, Mrs. Effie Cord, during
absence of Miss Clare McMichael.
Second Ward - 4th grade, Miss Alice
Beeson, 3rd, Miss Grace Hudson, 2nd,
Miss Emma Misner, 1st, Miss Florence
McMichael.
The number enrolled will probably
reach four hundred in a few days, the
aggregate attendance now being only
six short of that number. They are
distributed among the departments as
follows.
Total, 72
101
Grand total,
394
While the attendance shows up well
for the city, it is a fact that there are
children whose names do not appear on
the rolls, and to whose moral and intel-
lectual elevation probably few persons
outside of the educators give a passing
thought. The welfare of these children
should be considered.
