I4 THE DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL TO COMMON SCHOOL GRADUATES You have finished the work of the common school and are no doubt planning to continue your education in the high school. In your choice of a school consider well the opportunities offered by the Dickinson Community High School. You have grown up in the country and have attended country schools nearly all your life. The Dickinson Community High School offers such surroundings. More than three-fourths of the students are from the country. Another important matter in considering a school is the character of the work. Among the practical courses offered are the following: Farm Carpen- try, Auto Repair, Gas Engine Repair, Blacksmithing and Tool Making, Cooking, Canning and Preserving of Foods, Meal Planning, Preparation and Serving, and the Buying of Food, Bookkeeping, Shorthand, Typewriting. and Teacher Training. A student who has taken the Normal Training course takes a state examination in seven subjects, and then receives a certificate to teach in the elementary schools of Kansas. The equipment for these courses is excellent and will be maintained. It must be borne in mind, also, that in connection with all of the courses offered, there is an unusually well equipped library. Students have excellent opportunities for the study of music. There is a very moderate fee for private lessons in Piano, Voice, Violin, and Band and Orchestra instruments. Four teachers are employed full time in the work of the department of music. Instruction is free in Glee Clubs, Choruses, Band, and Orchestra. Students appear before the public on many occasions. These are things worthy of consideration by a student who is planning to go to high school. Those who graduate will find a welcome in any Uni- versity or College if they wish to continue their education. STANDING In 1913 the Dickinson Community High School was approved by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. This gives graduates the privilege of entering without examination any University or College in the Association. The Dickinson Community High School has been approved by the state and, also, by the Federal Government, to receive state aid in agriculture. The amount paid varies slightly from year to year, but one-half of it is paid by the Federal Government, and an equal amount by the state of Kansas. According to the rating of the State Board of Education this is a class A high school, the highest rank in the state.
