Browning School Notes Six Week Term Examinations
The Browning school term uses six week units with two days of exams at each unit end. Examinations span two hours per subject and Wednesday and Thursday are devoted to tests. Camp Fire Girls held a Saturday night party at Mrs. George Prather’s home with initiations for new members. The high school held a spelling contest due to inclement weather. Boy and girl basketball teams played two practice games at Purdin, with both teams winning. The Boy Scouts added John Jaynes as a brother scout and began a preliminary initiation. The Missouri agricultural plan outlines livestock and crop production needs, noting declines in livestock density since 1910 and proposals to boost beef, pork, sheep, and horse production, plus notes on tight clay-pan soil and ongoing laboratory research at the Missouri Experiment Station.
