H. H. WARDRIP Editorials In this brief space we wish to thank all who have made possible the Toka Annual this year. To Mr. H. H. Wardrip we extend a vote of thanks for services rendered to the business staff. Reader, have you ever considered the cost of the Annual Toka? Prior to this year the Seniors have not been limited to the amount of money expended in their paper as long as they devised methods to balance the accounts. However. in the face of the depression in business this year, the school board considered it necessary to limit the expenditure to three hundred dollars. Considering the amount spent last year, which was greatly in excess of our allowance the work seemed impossible to the staff. But realizing that there was no alternative we accepted the decision, which has proven to be a wise one. We have endeavored to publish a Toka in which an accurate record of school life be given. Although many mistakes are undoubtedly present, we can console ourselves with this one fact, that it will bring back fond recollections to those who glance over its pages. It might be of interest to our readers, especially those without the city, to receive some information regarding the schools of Grants Pass. The Grammar schools number three with attendance of seven hundred pupils. A reorganization of the seventh and eighth grades into a Junior High School has been affected. Where experienced elsewhere this new plan has resulted in greater efficiency for both pupils and teachers. To the two hundred and thirty-seven students enrolled in the High School are offered the varied courses of English. German. Latin, Science, Commercial, Manual Training and Domestic Science. The activities are treated in other departments. Because of this extensive development, the Grants Pass schools are placed with the best schools of the state. All its graduates are admitted into the Universities without examinations. You, who are contemplating a change of residence, will find not only the wonderful climate of the Rogue River Valley but also excellent institutions of learning.
