Last year she was a member of the Carthage Faculty. This year she is teaching the fifth and sixth grades here. She has shown many good qualities and we hope that next year she will be still a member of the Faculty. Mrs. Cox is teaching grades three and four. This completes her second year on the Arlington Faculty. Mrs. Cox is not a stranger, as she taught here a few years ago. The school's interests are her inter- ests. This makes her a valuable member of the Faculty. Miss Addison was a graduate of A. H. S., in the class of 1906. She has taught in this school for several years. She has won the good will and admiration of all of her pupils. She helps the little folks get started on the road to be Seniors. Miss Allison is the head of the Kindergarten Department of the school. She graduated from A. H. S. in 1920. This is her third year as a teacher of this department. It is her task to get the little folks to enjoy themselves here so that their future school work may be , a pleasure. Miss Allison succeeds very nicely in doing this. flap.

She soon became acquainted with all of the students and has helped us to prove that life is not so bad after all. Mr. DeMunbrun first came to Arlington in 1919. The five years We have been in his classes have been pleasant and profitable. We hope that on-coming classes will come to know and respect him as have the out-going classes. When we return on our visits we hope to see him here. .1 Mrs. Woods is completing her first year as teacher in High School with us. We first learned to know her in the grades.

The first class was graduated in 1906, just twenty years ago. At i that time there was need for more room. A new building was construcled three years later. HE school rooms during the Killian!! school year of 1908-1909 consisted of one large room tions. Up to 1905 all stu- -af divided by curtains for parti- 5 .. 4 dents wishing to complete high school were forced to leave the township. All of the district schools were well attended. Most of the pupils quit school upon comple- tion of the eighth grade. Today the school, is crowded somewhat the same as twenty years ago. More room is needed to provide for the expansion of the school program. This summer an addition will be built to provide the necessary room. The addition will contain a community hall, a li- brary room and three class rooms. It was the intention of the school officials at the time the present building was completed to retain the one-room schools. The community gradually saw the advantages of complete consolidation. The last two district schools were abandoned in 1924. This complete consolidation crowded the building beyond its capacity: hence the necessity for the proposed addition. During the last twenty years the school has been organized on the 8 4 plan, i. e., eight grades making up the elementary grades, and the four upper grades constituting the high isfactory arrangement. The result is the 6-0 plan. The leading educators over tie country have accepted this new arrangement as being superior to the old 8-4 plan. It is now being generally adopted. The State Department of Inspection has approved the Arlington school for this year for a commission under the 6-6 plan. Commercial work was not offered during this school year. Because of the high cost for instruction, brought about by the limited num- ber that can be enrolled in the course, this special work will be offered only on alternate years. There is an increasing demand for per- sons trained in commercial subjects. After checking over the vocations of the graduates from here, it was found that a large per cent of these students continue this work when they leave school, thereby justifying a continuance of this department. It is hoped that plans can be formulated for more extensive work in agriculture, manual training and home economics after the comple- tion of the addition to the building. Since this is primarily an agricultural community, and our boys and girls will be called upon to operate the farms left by their parents, the responsibil- ity falls upon the school officials to furnish a more extensive program in subjects that will fit these young folks for their life work in JQ5' . fe.
