Statements made in these columns from time to time as to the essential | soundness of American business con- | ditions, notwithstanding the tempo-! rary upsetting of international trade anid exchange by war, are strikingly | borne out by the statistics of last | week’s business.

While the enrollment promises to be. large, we need about fifty more boys and girls. The State needs educated men and women: We have done our part by building-an excellent high school building and providing. an excellent faculty. Will you do yours by taking advantage of what we have to offer? 1 hope that every boy and girl who! has not a high school within their! own district will enter the Butler High School. Butler is essentially a school town, and the _ influences; emanating from this town are uplift- | ing and refining. The student from the day of his arrival lives in a re- fined academic atmosphere and every influence conduces to the very best! in student life and character develop- | ment. Our High School building is one: of | the best in the state. It is practical-| jy fireproof, ventilated by the fan system, unilaterally lighted, provided | with single seats and has a splendid study hall where all not reciting can prepare their lessons in quiet. The library has been classified, thus “making it possible for students to work intelligently. There are some six hundred volumes and hundreds of valuable pamphlets at the disposal of | the student. While we have a good library and a-good building, we admit these do not make a high school. While we have an attractive plant, “we have rec- ognized the necessity of securing a strong faculty of high. character and purpose. _ The standards of our school demand that we secure the best teach- ers available.

These considera- ‘tions are character and fitness for their departments. Every member of our faculty is normal or college trained and is a specialist in his line of work. The Butler High School accepts rural certificates and admits the hold- er to the Freshman class without con- dition. Those not having the certifi- cate and wishing to enter the High School, must pass an examination on \the eighth grade work. Hereafter sixteen units will be re- quired for graduation. A unit is rec- itation work in a given subject for ‘five 45 minute periods a week ‘throughout the school year. The Butler High School offers three courses, the Language course, the |Commercial course, and the Teacher- Training course. The Language | course is especially designed to fit for \college; the Commercial course will |prepare one for a business career; | the Teacher-Training course prepares | for teaching in the rural schools or in | the grades of a city school. tom of the rural schools to attempt to do ninth grade work. October 31, 1911 the Bates county teachers pass- ed unanimously a- resolution. con- demning this custom. Recently the | state superintendent sent me the fol- lowing statement: ‘‘Certificates will not be issued to students who are given. high school credit for work completed in rural schools.’’ I hope that those who contemplate doing ninth grade work will enroll with us. Those who contemplate completing the Teachers-Training course must do all of the work in the high school. John O. Henderson, Superintendent of Schools. C. M. Thomas. Cyrus M.
