The, attendance is carefully checked at every period of the day and as soon as anyone is counted missing the principal will know the reason why- Scholarship is also carefully super- vised. Anyone failing .or -about to fail is reported and warned in ample time for improvement before the final mark is put on his or her ret port cavd. In spite of the fact that there are over 800 students to be cared for, | cach one receives individual atten tion. To allow for “individual dif- ferences” is the outstanding principle in modern education and this prin- e is strongly emphasized in Be- miidji high school. Every effort is made to aid the students in _their work. The study periods are supervised by one or two .instructors, depending uponthe number of students. A copy of “Study Helps” is placed. on each desk in the study room. Thus the students are not only there to study but are being taught how to study. The outstanding feature of tomor- row’s assembly at 11:45 a. m. will be an address by Dr. G. H. Zentz of the Methodist Episcopal church. Dr. Zentz always has a message of interest and thought and his, address will be greatly appreciated by the students as well as the visitors. There will in addition be community sing- ing led by Mrs. Beth Evans Yaple, and a vocal solo by Miss Alma Elm- quist. The public is most cordially invited to attend. ‘| First- General Meet of Urban where |, wpMinuesota Union at.6:30 p, m. on that Already URBAN UNIVERSITIES TO HOLD MEETING THURSDAY Universities is Assured Exceptional Program The first general meeting of the association of Urban.
