Physical Education The particular service that physical education must render is to provide for all, opportunities for participation in na- tural, wholesome forms of activity. Physical education is for the sake of mental and moral culture and not an end in itself. It is to make the intellect, feelings and will more vigorous, more sane, more supple, and more resourceful. The attainment of the ends of physical education implies not only control of the ends of physical environment of the child, but the deliberative formation of habits, the imparting of knowledge of hygeinev and the stimulation of the better ideals of physical efticiency. The school supplies, including the text books for the entire public school system are handled through the superintendents office, and the administration of these activities as well as the solution of the thousand and one problems that occur in the daily school routine falls to the secre- tary to the superentendent, Miss Cham- berlin. Mrs. Hess, the truant officer for the city and whose ofhce is in the high school building, is largely responsible for the high attendance rate that prevails in our schools. 1 l l l 1 Twenty-Five MR.

Miss DOSTER Miss GRAHAM MR. MORRIS MR. MORGAN MR. WEST Vocational Department The Home Economics Department offers practical courses applicable to the home. The work in foods is done from the meal planning basis. Suitable dishes and foods are prepared and served for each meal. Especial importance is placed on dietetics and nutrition. In textiles, garments suit- able and practical for each individual girl have been planned and constructed. House planning as well is studied through helping the girls to make their own rooms more attractive and personal. The aim of industrial arts is to train the hand as well as the mind. In shop work a boy has the opportunity to work out his own ideas in a material project. In doing this he is able to see the correla- tion between school work and the work of industry. The curriculum is so arranged so that intensive training is given in wood- work and mechanical drawing. The senior students in the vocational printing department work in various printing shops in town on alternate weeks, thus correlating theory with shop practice. Mr. Morris, instructor of shop work has been with this department since it started and Mr. Morgan, teacher of related sub- jects, came to us this year. Twenty-Four

Wainwright On the whole, the year has been a busy and profitable one, in spite of much sick- ness among pupils, and the serious illness of two teachers. During the past year, Fostoria junior high school has steadily pursued its two-fold aim-academic on the one hand and social on the other. It has tried to bridge the gap between the ele- mentary grades and the senior high school academically, in order that freshmen stud- ents will make easy adjustments to their surroundings. Students are taught a sense of responsibility individually as they fit themselves into the schedule and the mechanical details, not much different in essentials from those in the senior high school.
