This is obviously too great a task for one man and woman, so two specially qualified teachers advise the members of each half grade. One period each day is allowed to the counselor for his work. Each 10B class, when it enters, is assigned the two teachers who are to be its counselors until its mem' bers become seniors. Mr. Clark H. Spitler and Miss Myrta B. Porter, assistant prinf cipal and dean of girls, counsel the seniors. The duties of the counselor consist of making out the program of each member of his group, and advising him what subject would probably be of most use to him. As early as possible, the advisor learns what each one intends to do after leaving high school and helps him to plan his work accordingly. One of the important phases of counsel' ing work is seeing that the student planning to attend college gets the necessary units of high school work. If a pupil fails in a subject, the advisor tries to learn the cause of the failure and help the pupil to remove that cause. Where conditions permit, the counf selors place students of similar abilities in the same class thus giving the better ones a chance to go faster and take more detailed work than the others. Those for whom the work is difficult, take the work more slowly and spend more time on the fundamentals. This arrangement is made for fewer failuresg yet has made work more interesting for the better students. James Lehan has been added to the counseling staff this year. l' I9 l
