The Progress of La Salle-Peru Learning -by Doing , g S The first session of the La Salle-Peru Township High Sahool was held in September, 1898, the construction of the original main building having been started in 1897. There have been three super- intendents, Mr. Stratton D. Brooks, Mr. C. A. Farnam, and the late Dr. McCormack, who was superintendent from 1903 until 1932. Mr. T. C. Kohin has been assistant principal since the founda- tion of the school. Dr. Fred G. Stevenson has been principal since 1932. ' There were six teachers on the faculty in September, 18985 in the second year the faculty was in- creased to nine. In February 1935 the faculty numbered 59, exclusive of the superintendent, and the ofiice staff. The ofiice staff consists of the secretary of the board of education, the registrar, two clerks, and secretary to the principal. One of the distinctive features of the instruction of the school is the employment of students as assistants in ofiice practice work. The number of students so employed is 67. This creates a flexible and contractile staff of employees foravast number of activities. The janitorial staff, with firemen, consists of six people. The increase in the attendance of the Township High School has -in recent years been notable. At the start, as with all new high schools, the attendance remained stationary. The establishment of township high schools in Granville, Spring Valley, Tonica, and other places for some years kept the local attendance almost stationary. But from 1917 to 1923, the atten ance increased 72 per cent and from 1915 to 1923, the increase was 100 per cent. In September, 1929, the enrollment was 941, and in October, 1933, it totaled 1461, and in February, 1935, 1411. In 1924, in response to urgent solicitation on the part of the public, the Township High School Board of Education established the La Salle-Peru-Oglesby Junior College, the institution designed to give the young people of the local community the advantages of the first two years of college or university training. T e entering class numbered 32g the total number of students now .enrolled is 276. These are training classes for teachers and preparatory classes for nearly all the various vocations and professions taught in the universities. The college hasbeen successful from the educationalpoint of view, its graduates have done well at the universities which they later attended, and the report of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools complimented the institution upon its high standards, its careful work, and the success at the universities of its graduates.
