V Q .... ' lwln 'lll1 ,,llmL ,......, M: ,,.......................... .... . ii. ....,,, ml II THE EDUCATIONAL YEAR We are again at the close of a school year. This in itself is not remarkable, yet the 1914-15 record of the La Crosse High School may be a source of satis- faction to those who have been associated with it. Both faculty and student body have been bigger and better than ever. Starting last fall with an enrollment of eight hundred ninety and a faculty of forty-two, the maximum was reached the second semester when the former jumped to nine hundred forty-three, necessitating the addition of three teachers to the faculty, making forty-five in all. Pecul- iarly enough, the enrollment is just one more than twice that of five years ago fthe writer's first semester in La Crossej while the faculty has increased by nine- teen. As planned, our school was to accomo- date a maximum of seven hundred fifty students. Yet we have been keeping school every day with almost two hundred more than this number. Of course, it has meant the use of every class room every period of the day, making it nec- essary for both teachers and students to change rooms frequently, but in spite of this and other inconveniences, there has been as little or less confusion at any time during the semester than ordinarily. An unusually efiicient faculty this year accounts in part for the successful op- eration of school under these difficulties, but the greater share of the credit must go to the students because of their will- ingness to assume responsibility and to co-operate with teachers. It is grati- fying, indeed, to see them grow and de- velop in this direction. There were some who doubted the practicability of the plan which was introduced when it was no longer possible to provide all students with desks and consequently necessary to do away with the session rooms. The first trial was sufficient to convince the most skeptical and now, it is doubtful, that anyone could be found among the faculty or students who would advocate a return to the old system. While the change almost approached a revolution in the high school method of assembling, and while there was ample opportunity for confusion, the precision with which the new scheme was inauguirated can leave no question in our school at least, of the success of the responsibility-sharing sys- tem of discipline. Development in stu- dents, of these things which make for good citizenship is the accepted theory, I believe, of educators generally, and the rapid strides toward this end, such as our students have made, is evidence of the soundness of the principle. During the year our course of study was re-arranged somewhat' in order to give the most fastidious those subjects which would prepare them best for life's work. This implies that when students enter high school, they have some general plans, Page 17
