THE SPUD Business Course An appropriation of about $300 was aw arded to 20 schools in the state of Nebraska for the maintenance of a Business Course in connection with the High School. Alliance being a progressive city in the western part of the state, was one of these schools and has found a remarkable opening for its new department. Two rooms, in connection with each other serve for this branch, being fully equipped with the most modern means of work and under the supervision of an excellent instructor Miss Wilson of Bethany, Nebraska; this study is insured unusual success by this excellent beginning. Knew Her Rights—“I tell you I won’t have this room,” protested the old lady to the boy in buttons who was conducting her. “I ain’t goin’ to pay my money for a pigsty with a measly litle foldin’ bed in it. If you think that just because I’m from the country--------------” Profoundly disgusted, the boy cut her short. “Get in, mum, get in,” he ordered. “This ain’t yer room. This is the elevator.”

Since the year 1910, Manual Art for the Boys of the High Schol has been a most successful line of work. The shop, located in the new Emerson Building is modern in every respect and has been subject to much praise because of its arrangement and the high style of work accomplished by the class. Besides, following the regular outline work, the classes in this art have aided the Domestic Science department, enlarged the Agriculture equipment, furnished the Girls of the Basket Ball Team with cups and completed individual orders. Under the instructions of Mr. Clements of Elmwood, Nebraska, the Manual Training Class has been made to accomplish unu«ual work and meet with extraordinary success during the past year. . I? 1 10’ was the Domestic Science course, also, introduced into the High School with headquarters on the third floor of the building and with tables, stoves, and dishes to accommodate twenty girls. After the rebuilding of the Central Grammar School, a new suite of rooms was provided for this work including the kitchen with its usual supplies and a serving room furnished by the Manual Training department. Following the cooking course by outline and studying the care of the Sick in the Home, is only a part of the experience afforded the girls who choose this branch-for a noon lunch Is served every day m the Spring to the patrons of the school- a Christmas Banquet was served in the English room just before the Holidays; and after a program given by the Grammar pupils at the Central Building a luncheon was partaken of by the visitors, who received the best attention of the “cooks”. Miss Georgia Canfield has been in charge of this up-to-date department and has taught in the most modern method.
