CONROE, (^MONTGOMERY COUNTY. TEXAS. THURSDAY. JUNE 12. 1913.
SCHOOL NOTES.
The ninth commencement of Conroe
High School has glided into the past.
There are graduated from the school
•seven voung ladies. This brings the
total number of graduates of this
school to 08, and few schools fh Texas
can boast a larger per centage of
graduates that “have made good’’ than
<3. H. S.
The class of 1913 was composed of
the following young ladies, the number
after each name showing the average
made by these young ladies on the first
eight months of the term. It was
agreed by the members of the class at
a meeting held in room 7, September
25, 1912, that the honors should be dis-
tributed at the close of the eighth
month ) I have never seen a class
more equally ranked than this one.
The differences in these averages are
due more than else to the fact that the |
students, some of them, lost several 1
days from school on account of illness
—and every absence lowers grades in
our system of record keeping:
Eunice C. Nugent, 91.20 per cent.
Mildred M. Terrell, 96.31 per cent.
Helen F. Jones, 92.73 per cent.
Azalie Mae Boynton, 96.25 per cent.
Edythe F. Otts, 95.12 per cent.
Marguerite Vincent; 93.23 per cent.
Ethel M. Parker, 94.01 per cent.

This year has been a pleasant year
indeed for the school interests of Con-
roe. We have a progressive com-
munity in matters of school work at
least. There is no better board of
trustees in Texas, no better patronage,
and as we are able to judge, few
schools have had the services of more
conscientious teachers. When we con-
sider the year just closed we are con-
strained to say that one will rarely find
a more earnest student body, or one
that is more agreeable to work with.
We sincerely appreciate all this and
hope to see a continuation of this happy
condition.
This year has seen the addition of
Mechanical Drawing to our course.
The board early in the year purchased
twelve drawing tables, a blue print
machine and supplies for this work.
We have erowded the library into the
office and made a drawing room of the
library room.
The aermon by Dr. J. L. Massey to
the graduating class was a great intel-
lectual and spiritual treat for all who
heard it. Dr. Maaaey is a great, good
man, and bis message to our young
people was timely and wall spoken.

commencement season a pleasure and a
success. Few towns as small as Conroe
can claim a better prepared music
teacher than is Miss Morris. This fact
was evidenced in our commencement
work, especially so on the morning of
the Musicale. The pupils showed that
tljey had been well taught.
Owing to the fact that several of the
pupils in the high school are deficient
in one or more subjects, ant] in conse-
quence thereof failed of promotion to
the next higher grade, I have been
asked to do some summer work in order
to give these an opportunity to “make
up” their deficiencies. I have con-
sented to do this and will open this
school work on Monday, July 7, 1913,
if nothing prevents.
Regardless of the amount of work to
be done by the student, I have decided
that $7.50 will cover the tuition for
each pupil enrolling for this work. I
will not take students except those
wanting to go from the 7th to 8th, 8th
to 9th, 9th to 10th grades. There are
several students who were a bit be-
hind in their grades this year, and I
will take these also.
Be it understood that I am not de-
sirous. personally, of doing this work,
but will do it for the sake of aiding
ambitious students. I want no pupil to
enroll that can not work, for this means
work. I will make no guarantee save
that I will do my part, and if the stu-
dents I accept do their part they can
make good these deficiencies. The tu-
ition is payable on enrollment and the
enrollment must be on the opening day
and attendance regular and punctual.
It will be well for all expecting to do
this work to meet me on Saturday
a/ternoon before opening day, Monday,
July 7.

If the amendment is adopted,
the authorities of the University
will continue to develop the course
of study as seems host for the
needs of its thirty-three hundred
students. Four hundred and
sixty-one of theso students, in the
regular session alone, come direct
from the farm, and more than a
thousand of them are preparing
to teach in the common schools.
It is probable that the demands of
theso students will require more
courses than we now oiler in agri-
culture, both for those who plan
to teach agriculture in the public
schools and for those who expect
to go back to the farm. If the
