MURRAY ' The Murray public schools have certainly just completed one of the mot successful terms in the history of all school work ;n this littij city. On October 29, 1913 they were fully appioved by the Stite Superintendent vv.d with the excellent work of the staff of teachers siv.ee that date only meant success from the start to the closo of the schools last week. Under the guidance of Miss Thorpe, a3 principal; Miss Livingston, as as sistant principal. ind Miss. Sans and Miss O'Donnell in the lower grades, oacked up by the co-operation of the school hoard and the patrons of the dbtvict all grades have been brought up to a standard par excellence. The harmony between patrons and school could be no better. The deep interest and the vim and enthusiasm of the pupils in their studies and daily work has been brought about by sec rets known only to the teaching fra ternity. The unsightly, uneven school ground has been covered by an even mat of white clover and beautiful flower pots. At a mere suggestion from Miss Thorpe, like a swarm of Brownies, with rakes, hoes and shovels the chil dren transformed, as by magic, this junk field into a piece of beautiful landscape gardening. The proficiency with which each grade finished their work with the highest standard shows a thorough ness in each foundation step. The most gratifying news was received by the school board and teachers of the high school on October 29th, 1915 when the following notice was receiv ed from the State Superintendent: "You are hereby notified that the Mur ray High School is approved under the free high school law as a three year high school of the number one class. Pupils who complete the work in this school will be entitled to ad mission to the high grades in any ap proved school." According to the views of the State Superintendent the size of the district and the number of children will not permit of an accred ited twelfth grade as Murray. A strong eleventh grade school under j his advice is far better than a weak twelfth grade. These grades as now taught can be kept up to the highest standard and will admit our students into any high school in the state to complete the high school course, and will incur no hardships on the tax payers of the district. The district is indeed fortunate in being able to retain the present faculty for the coming year. They are famil iar with the individual needs of each student, and the results anticipated for next year are the highest. Now It's the Cultivator and Two-Row Machine Season!
