T11eBaker city sms says: 'Whatever you would put into the life of a nation, intro- duce into your public schools.' Hence public opinion and public education form an equation. Whenever a community recognizes this the public schools are strengthened. Within a period of six years Baker City has doubled its school enrollment. In 1892 the teaching force consisted of eleven teachers and 606 pupils were enrolled At present the corps comprises 19 teachers while the indications are that over 1200 will be enrolled before the close of the school year Though progress has been the watchword of the teachers careful discrimination has been made that the work should not be carried beyond the bounds prescribed by nature In every onward movement to 1ncrease the efficiency of the schools the management always received the encouragement and support of the school patrons In fact no town 1n the state can Justly boast of a more enthusiastic educational spirit than that possessed of this community which supports our splendid public school system Educators recognize the fact that in the struggle for a liveli hood sixty per cent of all the pupils who enter the first pr mary never enter the grammar grades Therefore the work of our pr1mary grades 1S so arranged so as to be of the greatest possi ble value to this sixty per cent in equipping them for the conflict of life Here the fundamental pr1nc1ples in arithmetic are thor oughly mculcated excellence ln penmanshxp IS atta ned while thoroughness in language work is here a distinctive feature For several years the grammar grades have followed the departmental system of instruction with a benefit which accrued to both teacher and pupil A trend toward spec1al1sm has been accompanied by a variety both in methods of instruction and personality Thus a m1sunderstand1ng of the students capab1l1t1es has been lessened The high school IS one of the best in the state It is equlppecl with a good workxng library a chem1cal laboratory and appa ratus for performing experiments an physics Three instructors are here employed the course being as follows FIRST SEWIESTLR FIYSI Term Algebra Geometrx TFlgOl1OITlCtTy Engllsh Hlstory Physlcal Geolgaphx Phxslcs Chemlstry Hlgher Algebra Rhetorlc Ancient HISTOTX Geology Polltlcal Economy Latxn lCoysl Latin llvposl Ldtln fCaesarl Eng,l1sh Classlcs Lngllsh Cldsslcs lE.ng.,l1sh Cldsslcs Fngllsh Classlcs SECOND SLN!!

Mrs. UHIIJIBBIII First Teacher in Baker 1865 ThE Baker CIW Schools The most vital product ot the national lile is the American public school. Upon its preservation depends the vitalizing agency in our American order of public and private affairs. To train the whole people ior an effective manhood and womanhood is the first duty ot a republic: and a system which places all classes on the one plane oi universal brotherhood: which recognizes no distinction between wealth and poverty, where ancestry wields no influence, is the ideal system for America. Under our present system of national expansion, widely-extended interlacing oi national interests have an ethical element that comprehends all humanity. At no other time in our nation's history did the rising generation need the knowledge of rules lor human guidance that have developed with the race and that contains the result oi human experience, than it does now. Upon the enlightenment of this generation depends the correct solution oi problems that are to mete out justice, equity and honor in the iuture. Now the education oi public opinion is a necessity urging every patriot to action. A German maxim KConcluded on Reverse Pagej ADMINISTRATION
