The Advantages of
A Larger Local
High School
By Lois Jean Kreider
Prior to the fourteenth annual
promotion exercises of the Fost

School, pupils of the Ninth Grade
were asked to write essays on the
theme: Advantages of a Larger
Local High School.
None of the pupils were promo-
ted by teacher or principal. The
essays were the views of the writ-
Thev were so very
interesting that beginning this
week and continueing weekly
thereafter for six weeks The Bull-
etin will publish one of these es-
says. Here is No. 1.
Manv changes are taking place
today “in the organization of our lo=
cal school system. Among the
chanves is the movement for lareer
schools. The chief aim, or definition
of education is: “The training of
vonth for their station in life, thus
helping them to become worthy
citizens.” The larger school is
“le to give this training more ef-'
ficiently.
There are various benefits which
mav be cained by the larger school.
Better buildings and eonipment,
more students. better and more
varied activities and courses, and
an increased interest in education
a few of the imnrovements
fond in larger schools. TI will
briefly discuss some of them.
First, an enlarged building is
necessary to accommodate an in-
creased number of students. It

ped rooms. A larger stage and an
auditorium would provide adeanate
seating for the students, as well as
for parents and visitors on special
