JEFFERSON HIGH SCHOOL

PAGE THREE GENERAL STATEMENT Through the medium of this annual announcement for the year 1919-20 the Board of Education is pleased to bring to the attention of the people of this community some of the interesting features of the work of the Jefferson High School. In selecting the material for the following pages we were guided by the belief that the patrons of the school are more interested in things that are actually being done, than in any statement of what we expect to do in the future. Democracy is the American ideal, and our public schools are our best expression of that ideal. Each year our high school has grown steadily along the lines of greater democracy. The high school has been developed until it meets very closely the needs of the community. The courses are broad enough and thorough enough to meet the desires and needs of everybody. No longer is it necessary that every child be compelled to take the same work as everybody else, regardless of his likes and dislikes, needs or ambitions; no longer is there an attempt made to apply the same standard to all pupils regardless of training, home influence, temperament or disposition. High School training alone does not necessarily insure a boy or girl of success, but it can be made to contribute materially to his success. It is with a sincere interest in the welfare of the young people of the community that the Board of Education invites your attention to the advantages offered in the Jefferson High School. Will Cl. Ballentine, Superintendent of Schools. Geo. J. Kispert, Pres. Board of Education.
