This is the largest enrollment dur-

In my judgment it will be necessary
to provide more room at a very early
date. If we are to keep our entire
school upon the present high plane of
efficiency
School Closes Last of May.
The school w ill close ihe latter part
of May. The present term is an un-
usually successful one. and arrange-
ment* are now being made for the
couitnencel:,i tit exercises The grad
lifttlug class is a large one.
Mr$. Finch Resigns.
Mrs Hem A Finch, the only lady
member of the Hoard tendered her
resignation as such and the same was
reluctantly accepted Mrs Kinch has
been a member of the Hoard for the
laal eight years or more and bears the
distinction ot being the first woman
school board member in Texas. She
i'ftrt given the Hoard excellent service
and havlnu been closely in touch with
school sentiment and a lady in high
intellectual attainments her member-
ship was especially valuable The vu
can crea eii wa filled by the elec-
tion of Gibson Caldwell as a member
of til" Hoard.
Gibson Caldwell, the new member
of tli ■ School Hoard appointed t.o serve
out. the unexpired term of Mrs. H. A.
Pinch who resigned, is a native or Mr-
Kiaaey. and one of our most active
and justly popular young business
ntefi He is manager of the Collin

and all civic movements for the pro-
motion of his home city's best inter-
ests, chairman of the Official Board
of the First Methodist church, a Ro
tarian, and stands high In Masonic anil
fraternal circles. Hp has an abiding
interest in school affairs whose posi-
tion on the Hoard is hound to result in
much helpfulness to the advancement
of McKinnev's free school educational
system.
The official repo- of the supervisor
who recently visited the McKinney
High school was read hv the president
of the Board, I. A. Scott
The report in full follows
Supervisor's Report.
Tli" McKinney High school build-
ing, as has been reported previously
bf this Department, is well built, mod-
era and comfortable in Its arrange-
ment and equipment, but. it is no long-
er adequate for the number of pupils
enrolled For this reason, plans are
sa foot to erect a Junior high school
building on the same grounds with the
preeent plant. This not only will be
a relief for large classes hut will al-
low each suhjeel a place and will give
opportunity lor a new type of organi-
sation
The present organization seems ex-
cellent for present conditions and has
accomplished much In the way of
building up tiie school and extending
itn influence Many pupils from neigh-
boring unaccredited schools lake ad-
vantage of the opportunities which
McKinney offers, and a special effort
ie made to co-operate with these
scftooln and to have their standards, as
far aa thoy go, to conform to those
erf the accredited school and thus to
ornate a system which saves time for
UM pupil and trouble for all involved.
Thia type of work would be of great
assistance in establishing a stand-
ardised system of schools, if adopted
throughout the State.
Efficiency of Teachers.
The spirit of the pupils and the ef-
ficiency of the teachers In McKinney
seemed unusually good The passing
of classes was orderly, the study-hall
atmoHphere studious and the classes
attentive Discipline did not obtrude
itaelf as a separate problem, hill seem-
ed to be absorbed in the general de
sire for progress.
Since the excellence of the equip-
ment for physical sciences, home
economics and manual Imlnlnu has
been reported several times, no special
t ffort was made to examine these de
psrlmenls Manual training is not be-
ing taught this year bill will be offer
ed again next year The equipment
for commercial subjects Is very good.
Hooks have been added to the library
since ia«l year by gifls and appropria-
tions The teachers are asked to re
nipiest. Ihe books which they need for
ilie various subjects
The science work as represented by
tile note hooks examined seems thor
ouglily and carefully taught . Not only
the content bill Ihe form Is required to
be carefully prepared.
The stenography and typewriting
class also produce mmil results Sev-
eral letters, written in class and Iran
scribed from notes, were examined
and were found uniformly neat and
pmc;trail) at curate. The Pitt man
-ystem i.- use it ailti seelus to be very
. rilisiui tory Credit will be asked in
thi!- work to the extent of two units
' in- to confirm the work granted on
misplaced papers last year, and one
new unit additional.
Credit will also be asked in com-
mercial arithmetic and the third unit
in French. The former was not visi
led but two classes in French were
observed Holh of these were worklnc
with Hnullsh sentences to be given in
French In the eighth grade special
attention was being given to pronunci-
ation. while in the advanced class a
special study ot subject Ives was being
made. The instruction In both class-
es was excellent and the response was
fair and good respectively. An eighth
grade class whose lesson included con
vernation was reciting on that day bui
the supervisor did not reach it. The
French work on the whole appeureil
worthy and should receive an addition
al credit if the written work to be sub
milled is of high standard and proper
ly corrected Instructions as to the
submission of uuiieriul will be found
in bulletin 123. pages 23 lo 29 inclu-
sive.
Study Bible Stories.
Besides the courses in which credit
will be asked three classes in Fnglish
and one in solid geometry were visil
ed. The junior and senior classes in
English were studying stories from
the Bible and were reporting on the
content of the story for the knowledge
itself and for the practice in oral EIng
lislt. All were interested and good
response was secured. Special points
were brought out b> the icacher with
•lie idea ol instilling the true mean-
ing. \ rhetoric class under another
teacher was working out a paragraph
I'tom the book with special reference
to the relation of ideas and the use
ol connectives. Not quite enough va
riety ol connectives were suggested
and the discussions were not very free
so that the results were not (|tiite its
illuminating as could have been de-
sired, but the work tended in the right
direction The visit of the supervisor
to this class sis nisi tit the end of ill"
period, so thai the instructions preced-
ing ihe work til lite hoard were not
heard.
The solid geometry elans was dis-
cussing polyhedrons and all the stale
merits and definitions were character-
ised by deliniieni Hs and accuracy The
complete absence of self-consciousness
and affectation on the part of the pu-
pils in dealing Willi new terms und
tortus with long and difficult nomen-
clature indicated previous good train-
ing. Several figures evidently made
by the pupils were used as the basis
oi' discussion and definition. A long
and difficult demonstration and proof
was given orally by one of the pupils
from a figure drawn on the hoard. This
latter was by way of review and the
rest of the class only listened.
Recommendations:
1. That material be submitted by
the first of May in all subjects in
which credit is desired and that credit
be granted if the material meets the
required standards.
