Q gi fr , - f It S ,T . 4 Q v :Q 3 S N ' 2' The Public School VVherever you find the American home you will find the American Public School. The Ferguson Public School has grown and developed simultaneously with the growth of the town. For some years it has been accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. This means that a graduate from the Ferguson High School can enter, without examination, any college or university in the United States that receives students on the certiticate plan. The High School Course embraces English, Latin, French, Mathematics, History, Civics, Sociology, Biology, Physics, Singing, Dramatics, and Spelling. The library, composing 1300 volumes, is catalogued after the Dewey Decimal System. Besides a large number of books of general informational material there are several sets of encyclopedias and dictionaries, such as the Encyclopedia Brittanica, the American Encyclopedia, the World Book, the Century Dictionary, and live Webster's International Dictionaries. There are eight grades below the High School. A well selected library is furnished each grade. For the purpose of teaching Current Events and principles leading to good citizen- ship, both in the grades and in the High School, the following papers are taken: 60 copies of the Current Events, 20 copies of the Literary Digest, and 40 copies of the Scholastic. Great interest is taken in this work. Student government is a dominant and successful feature in school discipline, both in the grades and in the High School. An attempt is made to give such instruction that will enable the pupil, after leaving school, to function successfully and happily in organized society. The patrons of the district give loyal support to the school. This is particularly exemplified in the many cooperative features associated in the work of the Mothers' Club. Page Three
