One of the most practical means of relieving the ever enlarging high school and the ever increasing gram- mar school is tho establishment of the Junior -high school today this school {s located in its ow building, under distinct administra tion, and consists of the eighth and ninth grades. One readily nees that the heavy enrollments of the high school and the several ward schools may be cared for through the establishment of « large junior high school, or several such institutions. By this means the ward schools wil! then need to care for only the first stx grades and the high school, as known at present, only the tenth, eleventh and twelfth grades. Such a plan fits plendidly into the needs of Casper. ‘The aims of the juntor ‘high school are far more significant, however, than the mere purpose of relieving a congested school population. They may be summarized briefly as follow: 1. The transition from grammar school to high school is simplified. 2. It provides for the individual dit- ferences among children tn that it of- fers a richer course of study. 3. A pupil has an opportunity elect certain subjects, begining the seventh grade, which meet his terests, needs and capacities. 4. Teaching {s on the departmental plan, each instructor does work in only one or two subjects—mathe- matics, English, history, etc. 5. Promotion may be by rather than by grades. 6. There is a better opportunity to observe the pupil's likes and to ad- vise him with respect to his. further educational and vocational activities. 7. Since the group is homogeneous, better provision can be made for the social interests, The extra-curricular to in in- subjects, , mctivities of various kinds may be en- riched. 8. Provision {s made for one's go- ing at the rate his individual energy ability, initiative, and needs will per- mit. The slow pupils may take more time. The quick pupil may conserve time. A modern school for older pupils must be a large school to be efficient. Formerly, a school was just so many rooms, all alike, It is evident that a small school cannot be a school o varied activities. It can only provide similar work for all. As a school be gins to offer electives, to provide a variety of shops, to include several courses, to care for physical educa tion, and numerous other activities, that individual school must be large enough so that the groups pursuing the several phases of the cirriculum will be of sufficient size and number to justify the courses, shops, labora- tories and departments; and, at the same time, keep the operating ex pense at a minimum. A print shop, an electrical laboratory, an automobile shop, a fine arts studio may be used but a small fraction of the time in a small school; while in a large schoo! such departments are in continuous use. ‘The expense of installation is practically the same in the small or the large scnool. From the points of view of administration, heating, and janitor work, a large school is more economical than two or more small buildings totaling the same capaci Casper should build a junior high iN care f six hundred s 2 building will cost from to $400,000, This buflding| (b) Electrical (c) Automobile. {d) Woodworking.

The murder of Smith was the fifth in the lttle town of less than 200 inhabitants during this year. The coroner's investigation of the Smith caso has revealed details sug gesting more that lawless region that once lay “north of 53” than latter day Wyoming. Smith, who had disposed of a large lot of pelts and was en route back to his trapping ground on Nowood, stopped at Kirby for a cele- bration. He engaged in a crap game in a shack in which it is alleged Bruce was conducting a number of gambling games and was fortunate, winning steadily. Bruce, as he handed Smith o $10.00 stake, sought to invoke a gam- bler’s luck-changing practice by order- ing that Smith change dice and make his next cast with another pair. Smith declined to make the change and the ensuing altercation terminated sud- denly when, it is alleged, Bruce whipped out a revolver and emptied it at Smith. The trapper fell to the Noor with eight bullet wounds—some of them wounds of egress—in his hody. the shooting, it is charged, her Bruce nor any of the number of persons in the shack at the time tcok the trouble to ascertain whether Smith was dead, or merely wounded, but all, at the order of Bruce, left the iace, Bruce, after collecting the “bank rolis” of the games, locked the door behind him and departed. When, 12 hours later, Coroner Knight broke into the shack, the corpse of Smith lay just FOUR ARRESTED KT SILT GREEK FOR ROBBERIES Former Employes Found at Doug- las in Possession of Camp and Store Loot, Is Report of robberies said to have the looting of commissary and other buildings at the South Camp at Salt Creek extending over a period | of several days was solved today with the arrest of four men at Douglas, some of them said to be Midwest em. ployes who,had considerable of the j stolen merchandise and supplies in | their possession. © four men arrested at Douglas Sheriff Messenger on advices of ona county officials have their mes as W.

Marquis and other members of the sheriff's force left today for Douglas to take the men in custody. The case against the men was worked up through the agency of the sheriff's office here and Dick Scott and Les Snow, deputies at Salt Creek. When two of the men left Salt Creek j without any of the contraband Snow followed them keeping track of their movements. He finally traced them to the cache which was guarded by two other men and thence into Douglas with a load of the contraband. While en route to Douglas he had a chance to report to the officials here who in turn notified the officials at Douglas to on the watch for the arrival of the men wanted In the meantime warrants were is- sued and precautions taken to prevent | the men from evading prosecution on a technicality.
