This total is 45 less than the all time high record of January, 1940. It is interesting to note that there are still, as in the past few years, more boys than girls. The much smaller eighth grade enrollment of last year is one contributing cause for the drop in the enrollment of the high school this year. The fact that there is not a course in domestic science for girls or any special vocational course for boys is another cause for the drop in the enrollment.
Many high schools of the State provide these vocational courses for those boys and girls who are more interested in the practical arts than they are in the more academic type of educa- tion. Where vocational courses are available in the high school, more pupils are interested in the work they have to do and stay in school longer, thereby making the school of greater value to every one in the town.
During these uncertain times when we do not know how long our boys and girls will have the opportunity to get a formal education, I believe that it is the duty of teachers and parents to do every- thing possible to have each pupil get the maximum benefit for the time he is in school. We do not know how soon our boys or girls will be called to do some kind of defense work. We do know that the more education they can get before they are needed, the better work they can do if they are called.
Parents can help their children a great deal by seeing to it that all homework is done. Each pupil should study at least two hours daily on homework (contrary to what some pupils will say) and more time is often necessary if college certificate grades are maintained. Parents can also help by supporting the school in teaching courtesy, politeness, and the right attitude toward the school and its regulations. The more time that is necessary for a school to use in correcting misconduct, the less time there is to help those pupils who are cooperative and anxious to do their best in whatever they undertake.
