This single-sheet, four-panel pamphlet is the “Course of Study and Rules Governing Course” for West Plains High School in Howell County, Missouri.  Although undated, a footnote says that “Physics will be offered in 1911 and Chemistry in 1912-13.”  William Melcher served as Superintendent of the school.

 

West Plains is the seat of Howell County, Missouri, and is the largest town within a radius of more than fifty miles.  The high school in 1911 had a faculty of six: William Melcher (Super­intendent), Emma N. Shackelford (Principal and History), Harriet Haskell (Mathematics), Sue G. Stone (English), Ethel Knox (Science), and Ina Akins (Foreign Languages).  Three “Courses” were offered: Latin, Modern Language and Scientific, and Business.

 

The pamphlet consists of a title page with a list of the faculty, a page giving the “Course of Study” for each course through four years, a page containing “Rules Governing the Course,” and a page of “Regulations.”
