 9akftclt fidjool While we are in need of great Cni versifies and Colleges, we need equally good High Schools. Mere size is entirely unimportant. If the spirit of scholarship can he maintained in a small institution, several of them may he more useful to society than one large High School. There is a certain psychological limit of size beyond which organization becomes increasingly difficult, while a well organized small school renders to its students the greatest value. Oakfield High School is one of these small schools performing educational functions with great efficiency to its students. The teachers work as a unit and are competent to guide and direct the policy of the institution. Each teacher is held responsible for the whole to the whole. Each is a friend to every student, knows every student, his strength and his weakness, and each student is an intrigal part of the institution. Oakfield High School is one of these small schools, performing educational functions with great efficiency to its students. The Oakfield High School offers two strong courses of study to its students, is well equipped for its work, and is equal to any High School in the state of its size. It has a good building an excellent library and a well equipped laboratory. Several student organizations of tlu school make its school life pleasant and beneficial.
