A Review reporter visited
Crosbyton Public Sdtoof Mon-
day and wtts given interesting
information nbout the work by
>f. H. E. Smith, the principal
teacher. _
Prof. Smith said that 96 jp^r
cent of the pupils enrolled in the
district are attending School, and
of these 73 per cent will be ad-
vanced on* account of good w<ark
for the first two months
tenn-September and October.
Five pupils have been promotec
from the aixth ,tto the seventh
grade, namely: *~IT611ie White,
rrank Scales, Frank Dees, Theo-
dore Smithie, Jessie Jones.
In the\ Primary Department,
Miss Saffdld has 67 pupils, in-
cluding the first three grades.
Miss Johnson has in the Fourth
! Fifth and Sixth grades 51 pupils.
In" the High 'School/ Depart-
ment, Prof., Smith has 35 pupils.
At the opening of school there
frete only,14 in the High School
)epartment and Prof. Smith has
secured the* increase by- hard
work. to arouse , interest. He
hopes that within a year or so
the Crosbyton High School will
be affiliated with the University
of Texas, the University of
Chjbago, and with a great many
other colleges in and out of the
state.
Prof. Smith asks that parents
take pains to keep their children
interested in school; The best
results are being obtained with
pupils who have places at home
where they maysstudy undisturb-
ed. Where parents are not giv-
ing their children private places
in which t&atudy they are fal-
ling behind in their school work.
The school rooms are rtow made
comfortable in cold weather by
good stoves. The heating plant,
which has been ordered by the
Tboard of trustees, will be instal-
led as soon as it arrives, but in
the meantime all th^ rooms are
comfortable. r
Mr. Smith says that if pupils
from outside of this school dis-
trict could be assured of good
boarding houses at reasonable
rates there would be a large at-
tendance from this source. There
are even now a number who are
attending from outside the dis-
trict. He asks that those in the
city who are willing to take pupil
boarders will please report the
fact to him.
