A MESSAGE from the Superintendent To the Patrons of the Prague Public Schools and Community: This has been a year of con- siderable school progress. In the high school, five very dangerous plastered ceilings were removed and replaced by acoustical tile. Most of the classrooms were redecorated and new seats were plac ed in two classrooms. The grade school grounds have received considerable attention. The playground was ckiseled for re- tention of moisture, some grass re- planted and an irrigation system installed, two drains were built for the purpose of diverting water off the walks and ground and more than half the playground has been fenced with a good Cyclone Fence with the hope the remainder will be finished in the near future. Our transportation conditions are to be changed by the announced new road program by our County Com- missioner, to rock M5 to 50 miles of the routes with a high grade crushed stone. This will mean much toward the reduction of transporta- tion expenses and will give to our students regular arrival of busses at the designated stops which will prevent considerable weather ex- posure. During the year three school districts, Edmond, Arlington, and Oak Grove, were consolidated with Prague schools. Indirectly the fourth school was also involved, Pleasant Grove, which had joined the Arlington district the year before. This completely consoli- dates the transportation area of the Prague district and will now make it possible to establish bet- ter and more permanent bus routes and better service will be given to the pupils of the rural area. As a result of the consoli- dation both the enrollment and finances of the district have made some improvement. Most of our students have a continued interest in enrolling in the more solid subjects. As an 11- lustration the enrollment in the Mathematics and Science courses is considerably above the State aver- age. The Board of Education and faculty are making every effort to give to Prague and vicinity the fin- est schools that our finances and facilities will permit and the fine co-operation of the community to- ward tbis goal is meaning much in final results. Sincerely,
