High School Jokes Noxen High School Notes EDUCATION The amount of schools in the United States today is brought about through democracy. During the Colonial period a few of the colonies provided schools ,but these were not sufficient for the needs of the children. It was not until people began to come forward as masters of the government that provisions were made for the education of children. The constitution of the United States says nothing about education. The States manage their schools as they wish. Each State has its own system of public schools. The details of educational policy 1s left to local government. The details of educational policy is left to local governments. Fhe school man- agement deals with the election or ap- pointment of teachers, branches of study taught, use of textbooks, be- tween what ages children must attend school. In some States school offi- cers are independent of other public officers. Each community is left to | manage its schools pretty much in its | own way. A school district is ‘a unit of school government. . This area may take in just a community with one school or | a wider area containing any number of schools. For each district men are elected as a governing body. This 1s called the scho8l ‘board. In addition to the regular teaching force there is an elaboarte system of superintendents. nl the county there is a superintendent, and in the city is the city superintendent. In the State ,the officer is called superinten- dent of public instruction. The super- intendent, ing most cases, does not exercise a great deal of power, but his work is more of an advisory nature. The State first provides a system of common schools, in which the funda- mental branches are taught. Above the common schools is the system of high schools. In high school the higher sciences in literature, history and civics and higher mathematics. In most first class high schools the ‘ancient and modern languages are taught. The university is provided by | the State so a pupil may attend with- out’ paying a tuition. At least one normal school is maintained: by each State. These provide a supply of good teachers for the common schools. In Pennsylvania there are thirteen State normal schools. Although the constitution says nothing about deucation ,the govern- ment at Washington has engaged in a number of deucational activities. The Federal government supports and con- trols two great training schools, the Military Academy at West Point and the Naval Academy at Annapolis. There are a few other schools brought about by the Federal government, such as Indian schools and higher military schools. The government appropriates a cer- tain amount of money each year for the financing of schools. Each sum of money contributed by the Federal government must be matched by an equal amount contributed by the State. The chief educational officer of the Federal government is the Commis- sioner of Education. The schools in our country are among the very best in the world. HELEN DIMMICK.

We . have completed our football schedule for this season and fezl that our boys have learned « great deal about the game. We are dezaply in- debted to our coach, Earl Yr:.ng, who gave his time willingly after school during the week. We quote the fol- following: “For when the one comes to write against your name, he Home. great scorer writes not that you won or lost, but how you played ‘he game.” We thing the above quotation sums up ‘nicely the teaching instilled into our boys in. our popular coach, t.arl Young. At no time did he teach the boys to be unfair or to take advan. tage of the other fellow. Being well versed in this great sport ,Earl taught the boys the way they should play the game and at times people misunder- stood some of the plays the boys were allowed to Waea our poys leave our Alma Mater for they legitimately use. some higher school of learning will say that their tim= under the di- rection of Coach Young was profitably spent, that they, too, will he able to participate in this sport, and. who knows but that one of our boys may some day be on America’s All-Ameri- can football team. We are not forgetting what I2arl "Young did for us, and the wonderful backing parents and fellow townsmen. Basket Ball Notes Beginn g this week our boys will start basket b.li practice. We hope that all our boys will turn out and try for the first team. We wil also have a girls’ team and positions on the team will be keenly contested. Jack Roberts, the ever-smiling Dallas’ booster, received permission froni the) board to use the gym so that Tus all-star team may practice evenings. Jack is out to give Dallas a good all- star team that the town will be glad to boost. He is also forming a ladies’ all-star team, which is also an at'ded feature. Come out and boost! the men and women. The proceeds fror: the games will be placed in the ir2asury of the Dallas High School Athletic As. help pay our present of our sociation to deficit. Some Outstanding High School Boosters Mr. Addison D. Hull on Monday evening ‘donated his services and machines to clean the gym floor. Ile arrived at the school at 6:30 and at 11:30 the job was completed. When Mr. Hull, with the aid of a number of the high school boys and men from the town finished the floor looked like new. Thanksgiving afternoon he returned and with the aid of a number of men the’ floor received an application of! floor dressing which certainly made it look very attractive. The men and boys were praise of the work he did and, when he left they said “there goes & gcod sport.” f We think they hit the nail en the head. The members of the Dallas All-Star team have a move under way to in- stall shower baths in the high school that the boys and girls may enjoy the benefits of a shower after each game. We hope they succeed and hope to be able to give you. more information about this in the: next issue. loud in Easy for Politician To be a chemist you must study chemistry; to be a lawyer or a physi- cian you must study law or medicinej but to be a politician you need only to study your own interests.—Max O’Rell.
