t: riC in fundamentals, the other in chorus work. Admission to the chorus work presupposes alMHty to read music readily. For studying- the master- pieces from an interpretative point of view and for developing an apprecia- tion for them, a X ' ictrola has lieen added to the department. DRAWING Drawing comes into courses of study for various reasons. Among these iwo reasons justifv its presence in a public school course. It is a means of pression that has been employed time out of mind ; and it is a valuable aid in the cultivation of the aesthetic sense in man and woman. At no time does this aesthetic sense de ' el( p so rapidly as in the high school period of child- Ln. -d. It is the time when the child is grasping for every means of expres- sing itself; it is also the time when beautiful aircastles are built and the lrcams of future glor}- assert themslves. Drawing is one means affording -an opportunity to ])ul these in tangible form. While it is not the aim of the course in Drawing in this High School to make artists, yet it is one intention of this department to give the pupil a knowledge of the means by which an artist portrays his meaning in pencil a;i ' l color. The permanent object is to teach the student to see and to ex- press what he sees. The course includes lettering, perspective and landscape Work. The media used are pencil, charcoal, crayon and paint. The work is -Tcqiiired in the first year and is elective in the other years.

MATHEMATICS Probably the only real test of formal log ic that the majority of people get is from the study of Mathematics. A ' hile there are some other branches- of study that furnish more wholesome means for the development of the reasoning powers in general, there is no high school subject Avhich demands :-uch exactitude and logical arrangement of statements to reach conclusions as Mathematics. Again, by its use of symbolism. Mathematics lays the foundation for a higher ] lane of thinking. Whenever the mind is able ta reason readily with symbols, it is then capable of doing logical thinkings And logical thinking is only common sense organized. In Mathematics the course covers three years of work, of which one year each is given to Algebra, Plane Geometry and Commercial Arithmetic. Two years of Mathematics are refjuired of all students for graduation. MANUAL TRAINING Alanual Training has gained a permanent place in public school work Both from psychological and commercial reasons it is a necessary part of cs ' ory child ' s training. It makes a strong appeal to the boys because of its mechanical and practical nature. From a psychological standpoint it is valued because it furnishes an opportunity for the training of the hand Again, the muscles are the great clarifiers of thought. have heretofore offered training for the heart and head but neglected the hand. The training of the three is the modern educational ideal. Three years ' work is outlined : two being given in the seventh and eighth grades and one year in the high school.

In the seventh; and eighth grades the work is required ; in the high school it is elective, [it the high school the wood work is open to both boys and girls.

MUSIC Since the ideals of education have risen to the height that calls for the development of the Avhole individual, any course of study that ignores or- neglects the emotional life of the child, is seriously defective. No one can- deny that the emotions do form a large factor in determining the conduct of man ; and that unless the emotions are properly directed they become a damaging force in societv. It is onlv when the emotions are centralized into pure sentiments that they become positive forces for good. Music has that power of centralization of emotions about pure sentiments, for which reasorD it naturally becomes a fundamental part of a course of study. In the High School the work in Music is fitted to the different stages of advancement of the students.
