THE KODAK is truly cultural. We, as a people, have not appreciated this and have not tried to solve this vital problem. I maintain that the work in each department of the high school should be of the greatest possible value and interest to the boy and girl whose school days end with this brief four years. After all, it is life for which we are preparing. I call for an adjustment to this life and can see no better field for this than in the science department. DOMESTIC SCIENCE BY ESTHER EAKIN “We may live without poetry, music, and art; We may live without conscience, and live without heart; We may live without friends; we may live without books; But civilized man cannot live without cooks. He may live without books—what his knowledge but greiving? He may live without hope—what his hope but deceiving? He may live without love—what his passion but pining? But where is the man who can live without dining?” —Merideth Domestic Science is claiming a higher place in our accomplishments today than ever before. It is now taught in all the principal schools of our country and has proven very successful, partly because it gives the student a decided change in the daily routine of study. Here it has been very pleasant and successful under the supervision of Miss Irene Dunckle, our efficient Domestic Science teacher. The Domestic Science work was established in the Sapulpa schools in 1911. The equipment now ranks with the best in the state and the steady increase of students in this department each year shows the hearty approval of the parent as well as the pupil. At the end of each school term the garments made in the sewing department and the canned fruit, jelly, and cookery are put on special exhibition. At all times the patrons are given a cordial welcome to visit this department. Our young people are fast learning that the art of cooking is not all manual labor or drudgery, but may be worked out scientifically and economically. As this department has proven so successful, may we not expect the next generation to be better prepared home-makers?

THE KODAK aids in the solution of practical problems and graphs and graphical representation are introduced to make the subject clearer and more interesting. PLANE GEOMETRY—One year: Within recent years considerable change has been made in the treatment of Geometry. The theoretical theorems are still retained but they have been heavily supplemented by exercises and applied work of a far less formal nature. These exercises are obtained from physics, mechanics and other sciences, from architecture, decoration and design. Their function is to create an interest in the minds of the students that reacts strongly in increasing his understanding and appreciation of the logical side of the subject. Special stress is put upon the applications of Geometry to measuration and to the verification of formulas already met and used by the student in Arithmetic and Algebra. ADVANCED ARITHMETIC—One-half year: In the High School the fundamental principals of arithmetic as begun in the grades and extended and developed and at the same time the essentials of commercial practice are included. To help the student to be independent of the usual school room tools—paper, pencil, etc.—considerable time is given to oral exercises. Accuracy and rapidity of solution are always sought for. Short processes and methods are emphasized and a large number of the exercises are taken from actual business transactions. The elective in 1914-15 was: SOLID GEOMETRY—One-half year. The same general plan of work as outlined for Plane Geometry is followed. The cubes, spheres, cylinders, pyramids with which the student has to deal here are things of his daily experience, consequently the practical applications become very pronounced. SC IENCE D E FA R'l'M ENT BY F. M. COLCORD The significance of the development of modern education can best be estimated by the stubborn agitation directed against the inefficiency of the scientific training given in our High School. The outcome of this agitation is that new and revolutionizing importance attaches to the study of the sciences. For the first time in the history of education the work of teaching science is being organized with something like scientific foresight and method. An unprecedented activity and enthusiasm in the pursuit of this aim are strikingly manifest. In the “cultured curriculum” science has been omitted. Any line of that which develops an appreciation of the things upon which our very existence depends, or add ideals, tending to form concepts and judgments.

THE KODAK MANUAL TRAINING BY PROFESSOR McCARTHY In the field of vocational training nothing offers more interest to the boys than that represented by the Manual Arts and Crafts. To do things with the hands is the first impulse of the average male. When the boy in the country makes himself a sled or bow and arrows, he feels the spirit of genius welling up in his soul. Manual Training interests a boy from the very outset, his longing for a pocket knife is born of his desire to whittle something, to make his bow and arrows. When he gets into school he finds a kit of tools there for him and a piece of wood to operate on, and his heart leaps up in joy, and if his interest is thus continuously sustained, when he reaches High School and finds himself surrounded by lathes, band saws, hand pointer, and other power driven machinery, his ability to do things is enlarged and he is on the way to the greatest usefulness to society. Manual Training in the Sapulpa Schools is offered to the 7th and 8th grades and the first two years in High School. The department has increased in the years it has been organized and is now of very good size. At first only bench work was offered. The High School now offers courses in mechanical, bench work and wood turning. Two lathes and a planer were added this past year. This coming year we hope to have added a saw, and at least two more lathes, so that a course in pattern making may be added and more extensive cabinet work done.
