% ■ students in the advanced classes in shorthand and typewriting have done a great deal of actual secretarial practice this year. Included in this work was learning to operate the mimeograph and the ditto machines, dictation and transcription work for the various teachers- and the building of typewriting and shorthand speed. The students had an opportunity to apply the theory learned in typewriting and shorthand when they were called upon for several weeks to carry on the duties of the secretary in the office of the supervising principal. Preparing programs for the various school activities has been one of the class projects. The major part of the Shorthand II and the Typewriting II classes have won awards from the Gregg Publishing Company for achievements in speed dictation and transcription. fage Twelve

Agricuku T,„ re lie Agriculture Course is a very practical and interesting course for boys from rural districts. Agriculture is one course which combines theory and practice. All boys taking agriculture must conduct a program of supervised practice on projects on their farms during the school year. This gives a boy a chance to practice some approved principles of fanning and also to earn some inonev for himself. One of the most interesting parts of the agicultural work is the course in Farm Mechanics. Here the boys are taught to do many of the repair jobs which occur on the farm. During the past year the boys have cleaned, oiled and repaired several sets of harness. They have also filed saws, filed axes for themselves and nearby farmers, and have spent some time studying electric wiring. Page Fourteen
