He says, ‘The dis- cipline of the Madera High School is far superior to that of any other high school in the state, although it is rather strict, being fashioned on the military discipline.’’ He compli- ments Principal Maloyan on the ex- cellence of his school. However a number of the parents are displeased with the form of discipline, for their children are kept so quiet at school, it takes them fully an hour to regain their power of speech upon return- ing home. The Madera High School is one of the most up-to-date schools in the San Joaquin valley, because it has such an extensive course of study. This year the school has been for- tunate enough to have a swimming instructor, and, although he is ser- iously handicapped by the absence of a pool, he assures us that his pupils will be able to swim immediately upon entering the water. Taking everything into consider- ation the high school is in excellent condition.

PURPLE AND WHITE Page 2 THE MADERA DAILY MERCURY HIGH SCHOOL BOYS GROW INK High School Boys’ Agricultural Club Holds Meeting—Farm Adviser Charles Moore Present—Inter- esting Experiments Tried A meeting of the High School Boys Agricultural Club was held this morning in the auditorium. Farm Adviser, Mr. Charles Moore, was present and gave a very interesting talk on the introduction of the ink plant in California. In fact, the boys became so enthusiastic, that they wished to try to make it grow in Ma- dera on the High School grounds, in order to reduce the expense of the school for ink. The boys firmly believe this will work and are now searching for a plant the leaves of which will serve as a blotter. The successtul work which the boys have been doing under the guidance of Mr. Chas. Moore, has at- tracted a great deal of attention, throughout the state, especially that done in grafting. One of the latest experiments that has been tried is the grafting of the umbrella tree and the peach tree, in hopes that the the embrella would protect the young peaches from the late rains. The boys found this to be a great success and all the farmers of the state are following their lead.

The feature course of the school is the “Enhancement of Beauty.’’ This plan was originated by Mrs. Mayburn and has found a great success, as the young ladies all flock to the schools in order that they may re- ceive the benefit of this course alone. Mrs. Mayburn has also recently writ- ten a book, called ‘‘Beauty Talks,’’ which is at present in the public li- brary and it is thought that she will soon publish another, entitled, ‘‘The seautiful Girl.” Every girl should read these two books, which she will find not only instructive but also exceedingly well written. FRAULEIN STAHL A GREAT BENEFACTOR TO WOMANKIND Has Discovered Hair Curling Tonic Fraulein Stahl, the great chemist, has recently discovered a great hair curling tonic. It has been greeted with great enthusiasm by the wo- men from all over the world, and is becoming more and more. widely known. The beauty of the tonie is that, while it makes the hair curly, it does not change the color. One does not have to go very far to find this evidence. Miss Marguerite Mur- ray says, ‘“‘Since I have used Frau- lein Stahl’s Hair Tonic, I have had most beautiful curly hair.’’ Madera is proud of having one of COMING! COMING! COMING! Billy Phenix (Matthew Conley) —in— “THE HERO” ADMISSION her graduates become such an em- inent chemist, as the foundation of Fraulein Stahl’s knowledge was re- ceived in the local high school. Fraulein Stahl is at present work- ing on a tonic which will take the curl out of hair, so that men will be able to use this, instead of water which they now use for this purpose.
