miSS LEAH A. DORSE1] music USIC has achieved an established place in the school curriculum, be- cause it is recognized as the language of the emotions, therefore a source of personal enjoyment and a means of social expression. It occupies a prominent place in community activities, especially in the church, in patriotic celebrations, and in recreative asemblies. It is a great personal, social, expressive, and recreative art. As such it should be a part of the recreative and social equipment of all normal citizens. Music study in the public schools may have at least four significant re- sults: 1. It exerts a definite, beneficial effect upon the physical, mental, and spiritual life of the individual. 2. It provides an excellent type of intellectual training. 3. It has a very high value as a socializing force. 4. It should prove to be one of the most important agencies for bring- ing about a worothy use of leisure.

miSS ALTA L FOSTER History NE of the most common errors about the nature of History is to regard it as a “record”. It is not a record, at least not more so than is any other subject, for it dees not deal with the record as such. History is hardly the thing recorded, for it does not deal with events for their own sake, but only so far as they reveal the life of which they are the result. High national ideals and an intelligent and genuine loyalty to them should be a specific aim in American high schools. The teaching of history is not only presenting the subject matter of history as knowledge to be learned but also of building an appreciation of the nature and the laws of social life as will lead to a development on the part of the learner of a true sense of responsibility —individual as well as collective—for the improvement of that society of which he is a member. The History department of the Hemingford High School has attempted to achieve these aims and purposes stated above.
