A History of the Crooksville Public Schools -•-Concluded From 1898 to the present time only four men have been employed as superintendents of our schools. They are as follows : M. G. Calhoon..................................1898-1901 G. L. Brown....................................1901-1903 G. W. DeLong ............. ....................1903-1905 M. G. Calhoon .................................1905-1912 E. D. Bates....................................1912—present time. Among: the teachers of the Crooksville schools in the past years were John E. Taylor, who taught from 1894 to 1903 in the West, was then employed to teach in the East as principal but resigned to accept a position in the store of Brown Son. He was afterwards Mayor of our town and at the present time is serving as our efficient Postmaster. Another teacher was E. H. Brown, who is now superintendent at Napoleon, Ohio, where he is giving the best of satisfaction, and still another is Frank Reed who is now at the head of the American Savings Company in our city. Walter Brown, who is now a professor of a college atCrawfords-ville, Indiana, was once in our schools as well as G. L Brown, who is now holding down a professorship at Marquette, Michigan. The present Mayor of New Lexington. John Dugan, was also a former teacher in our schools. Many other of our teachers as well as graduates have written their names high on the rungs of the ladder of fame but space will not permit mention of their names here. And now we bring these remarks to a close, asking that every person who reads this will do their best to bring about the condition of affairs that will cause our schools to grow both in size and in efficiency.

r r cRU X-HI -$KAN High School Course of Study V TT N order that a pupil may graduate from the Crooksville High School it is necessary that he do sixteen un- its of work, a unit being a year’s work in one branch, reciting five times per week, the recitation periods being 45 minutes in length. Believing that the reason a great many pupils drop out of High School is that they annot get the branches that are most useful to them, we have made the course largely elective. The branches given below in each year are marked, to donate whether they count a unit or a half unit. The elec- tive branches are marked .
