HIGH SCHOOL COMING.
FREELAND WILL BE UP TO DATE
IN EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES.
Plans Under Way to Add an Academic
Course of Three Yearn to the Prenent
liranchen—liorougli Teachers Appoint
ed—Some Change* Were Made.
As announced In the TRIBUNE on
Juno 29 last, Freeland is to take its
place among the towns of the state
where a higher education is given
to the boys and girls who have passed
through tho common branches.
Tho first stop in what might be
termed the now era of education in this
town was taken by tho school board on
Monday evening, when Prof. William S.
Ilouck, B. S., of Berwick, was added to
the faculty.
The TRIBUNE has learned that the
selection of Prof. Ilouck will be follow
ed by the establishment of a high school
of exceptional merit, one, which from
the very*beginning will commend itself
to every friend of education in the
borough.
It Is the intention of the directors to
formulate au academic course of three
years, which will embrace stud
ios that shall place the school on par
with any in the county, and will enable
the youth of Freeland to obtain at home
tho knowledge and learning, which, to
secure heretofore, it were necessary to
go elsewhere.
STUDIES I.IKKI.Y TO BE TAUGHT.
The act of legislature of June 28,
1895, contemplates the employment in
every high school of at least one person
legally certified to teach book-keeping,
civics, general history, algebra, geom
etry, trigonometry, plane-surveying,
rhetoric, English literature, Latin in
cluding Cscsor, Virgil and Cicero, and
the elements of the following branches:
Physics, chemistry, botany, geology
and zoology, including entomology.
Mr. Houck is legally qualified to teach
all tho above branches, and tho school
will likely have all or a greater part of
these studies.
This step has been decided upon after
mature deliberation of the matter, and
is in answer to the repeated and sincere
solicitations of a number of the most
prominent people of town who have
sons and daughters now fitted to enter
a high school.
The time has come when Freeland
must step boldly forward and show that
its people are as progressive on educa
tional lines as in other mattors, and to
delay a year longer would be doing an
injustice to the boys and girls of town
who aro now ready and qualified by the
excellent training given them in tiie
common brandies to enter those ad
vanced studies which are taught only in
an up-to-date high school.
PRINCIPAL AND VICE PRINCIPAL.
The high school, as stated before, will
l>o placed in charge of Prof. Houck as
principal. Prof. E. F. llanlon, the
present supervising principal, will be
vico principal. From what can be
learned of Mr. Ilouck as a teacher and
from what is known of Mr. Hanlou in
the same profession, Lhu two should
make a combination which, witli the as
sistance of the remaining members of
the corps, will soon place the Freeland
public schools on a plane to which our
citizens can point with pride.
Another matter which the directors
have considered in making these prep
arations is the opportunity that is here
at present to make Freeland an educa
tional centre for the surrounding towns.
The several villages hereabouts contain
many boys and girls whose parents wish
them to receive an advanced education
and at the same time have them reside
at home. With a high school in Free
land conducted on tho standard intend
ed there are sufficient out-of-town pupils
ready to apply for aduiission here and
pay tuition fees which will reimburse
the board for any extra outlay that may
be necessary.
NO INCREASE IN TAXATION.
In any event, there can be no increas
ed taxation. Witli an additional state
appropriation and economical manage
ment of the revenues tho high school
will cost the people of Freeland a sum
insignificant when coinparod with the
good that should result from its estab
lishment.
The high school will be located in
tho Daniel Coxe building on Washing
ton street. It Is ioarned from a reliable
source that the board will In tho near
future, probably at the close of the next
term, remodel the third floor of this
commodious structure. Recitation
rooms will bo formed and all the neces
sary scientific apparatus will bo in
stalled. Tho cost of this would be very
light, as the building is well adapted
for the alterations intended.
GOOD NKWH FOR TEACHERS.
It has also been learned that the di
rectors propose to establish a system in
regard to teachers by which positions
will be retained and promotions made
solely on a basis of merit. All other
considerations, it is claimed, will be of
secondary importance in making si-lec
tions hereafter. It Is believed that
such a system will act as an incentive
to teachers to put forth their best cf

forts in behalf of the schools and will
in a short while elevate them to the
highest level attainable.
SKETCH OF TUB HEW PRINCIPAL.
In this connection a brief introduc
tion of Prof. Ilouck to our readers may
be given. The new principal is a grad
uate of Dickinson college, Carlisle,
where ho received the degree of Bach
elor of Science. He is about thirty
years of age. 110 taught in Berwick
schools seven years, the last two of
which wore served as vice principal of
the high school.
Before agreeing to his election n
majority of the board Investigated his
character and ability, some of them
visiting Berwick for this purpose, and
the result was more than satisfactory.
He is highly recommended as a teacher
and disciplinarian by the Berwick
board, and as a gentleman of ability,
good judgment and the possessor ol
executive tact every prominent resident
of Berwick has vouched for him.
The school from which ho comes holds
an enviable position in educational
circlos. Graduates of Berwick high
school are admitted to Bucknell, Dick
inson, Cornell and other leading col
leges without examination, the school
having attained such a high mark that
a certificate from It Is a passport to any
institution of learning in this and
neighboring states.
