The present high school building
was constructed in 1910, and w.s uu..k
to seat 100 pupils. The .enrollment
for the 1910-11 tsrm was 127 pupils.
At present there are 202 pupils in the
high school, with inevitable crowding.
Teachers in the grades below the high
school teach an average of 37 pupils,
and in the high school, 2H pupils. Tne
Alliance high school is fully accredited
and its graduates are accepted without
examination by all schools in the north'
central association.
Interesting figures on the rising cost
of education the rtate and district per
pupil were given. The average -cott
over the state on enrollment has risen
from 26,11 per pupil in 1911-12 to
80.02 in 1920-21, and in Alliance from

Mr. Pate spoke of the qualifications
of teachers and the necessity for main

Alliance salaries are fair, he eaid. He
declared that the public school system
is the salvation of a republic. He gave

Mr. Pute explained how the expenses
for high school athletics were paid.
"Athletics are self-supporting," eaid
the speaker. The money is taken in
as receipts from the games, and an
accurate account kept. Parties inter
ested can examine the records for the
past ten years, if they so desire. Only
one instance occurred when assistance
has boen eiven. This was a contribu

the past year. Every other dollar has
