AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT DALE MARCHUS It is a well known fact that upon the soil and its products rests the very foundation of all civilization. When Rome turned her attention from the soil to the city, she began at once to decline. So to make the foundation sure a knowledge of the principles of caring for the soil, planting the crops, and harvesting them is very necessary. The class in agriculture at La Sierra is very fortunate in hav- ing an opportunity to obtain, along with the theory, a practical knowledge in the fundamentals of this most important study. Under the able instruction of lVlr. E. T. Bush, the class spends a large share of the time in the field and garden putting into practice those principles which are obtained from the text book. Close attention is given to the main branches of agriculture, besides a special study of the soil, climatic conditions, kinds of crops, and market problems of our own state. We have varied agricultural pursuits, for on the school farm are located citrus, apricot, peach, and many other varieties of fruit trees. A fine garden with many kinds of vegetables, affords the student of horticulture an opportunity to study the best method of culture for each. The vineyard, too, which is bearing for the first time this year, provides an ample place for the close study of grape culture. Combining with all this a study of insect pests and their control, and plant diseases and their causes, we have summed up briefly what takes place in the agriculture class. The student of agriculture, by uniting his efforts with the forces which God has put in nature, is led each day to see more clearly the relation between the Creator and man. To know God through His works of nature is one of the privileges that come to those who make a study of agriculture here. PAGE TWENTY-SEVEN DOMESTIC SCIENCE RUTH LORENZ At seven-thirty in the morning thirty girls dressed in their uniform aprons and caps are seen hurrying to cooking class. There are two divisions for laboratory work, so we meet only twice a week for that. On Vvednesdays we all meet for theory. The first few weeks of cooking are spent in the study of vita- mines and the value of foods prepared in different ways. On the other days we meet for Laboratory where we cook or bake various foods each time. Here we are taught how to prepare foods in the most palatable way, and how to bake pies. cakes, biscuits, and bread. The latter is the most important. and probably the most difficult. During the last several months of school Household Arts is taken up. This includes everything in making a home, from the buying of it to the making of real home life. Color schemes are also studied. Laundering is another interesting subject studied. Here we are taught how to wash materials according to their texture. how to remove various stains, and how to use all the equipment needed in a laundry. Miss Vixie hopes to see many of her good cooks from La Sierra in different schools and homes in the future. ART DEPARTMENT LILA FREDERICK The choicest productions of art possess no beauty that can compare with the beauty of character, which is the fruit of the Holy Spirit's power working in the soul.

FOREIGN MISSION BANDS C-LADYS FERC-LTSON It is with the greatest delight that we, the students of La Sierra Academy, look forward to a period of thirty minutes every Friday night just preceding the evening meeting. We have organized two groups, the African and the South American Bands. It is in these bands that we study the real missionaries, their lives, and their strenuous and noble work. All this inspires us to the very depth of our hearts to make a preparation ourselves for such a life. At first we study the continent as a whole. then we divide it into smaller divisions, thus creating a lceener interest by becoming more closely acquainted with it. Two programs have been given in the chapel, one by each band, in order that we might awaken a wider interest. Though there are but two divisions of the Mission band, we hope, as our school grows, that more such bands will be or- ganized and that La Sierra will be able to send out many of her young people to foreign fields as a result of the influence of this band. lVlay it be that many candles will be lighted in the lands afar by the sparks here kindled. PAGE TWENTY-NINE THE MISSIONARY X 0LL'NTEER SOCIETY OSCAR CERHART La Sierra Academy has been eitablished for the purpose of fitting the youth for a place in Ciod's work. Since it is neces- sary that they have some practical experience in religious activity. the Missionary Volunteer Society has been organized. l-lere the students have had an opportunity to create and regu- late an organization that is strictly their own. The majority have seized their opportunity this past year and have made it an interesting, active Society. The Sunshine, Colporteur, and Foreign-lVlission Bands are the principal working divisions. Many a tired mother has quietly enjoyed a stirring talk, while one of the girls of the Sunshine Band has cared for her restless babe. It is the willingness and the enthusiasm of its members that has made our Society a success this past year, and this spirit will soon carry the gospel to the whole world and take us to the home above.
