The enrollment of the high school
department 13 greater this year than
it has ever been before We have an
enrollment now of thirty four pupils
besides four ii regular ones who are
doibf part high school aud part 8lh
grade work Unless some serious mis
hap befalls our pupils the class that
graduates one year from next May
will be more than double the size of
any previous class
Some of the teachers in Valentine
are very much annoyed with tardiness
This ought not to be If there is any
place in the world where there should
be no tardiness surely Valentine is
that place School has been in ses
sion one hour every morning in the
Norfolk and ONeill schools before we
open and the difference in sun time is
only 8 or 10 minutes Surely with
such long mornings our pupils ought
to be on time and they would if their
parents would look at Via matter
properly
Every teacher in Nebraska who
has paid any attention to the study of
literature during the last few years
will be pained to hear of the death of
Prof Skinner of Nebraska City
Prof Skinner is the author of the
book used during our county institute
He is also said to have had a very fine
manual illustrating how to teach liter
ature in the grades nearly ready for
publication at the time of his death
I do not believe Prof bkinners equal
is left among the public school men of
Nebraska
e St-
Four of the graduates of the Val
entine High School are holding good
positions in the country schools of
Cherry county and two are engaged
in the grades of the Valentine school
Of those who are in the country Miss
Mabel Towne alone has been in to re
port She is very enthusiastic and is
undoubtedly doing first class work as a
teacher She is not only teaching but
she is a student as well Mis Towne
has taken up a different algebra from
the one used in iier school course and
j3 going carefully through it examin
ing all the principles and solving all
the problems Other things being
equal the teacher who spends part of
her evenings in advanced study is the
better teacher We hope to hear sim
ilar reports from our other graduates
While politics must necessarily oc
cupy most of the space of our county
papers for a few weeks we trust that
room will be found for Mr Dotys
notes some of whieh are especially
worthy of notice by our teachers
They will appear next week Ed
