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

The classes have an opportunity to do experimental and research work U Much Inis been derived from the use of the new micro projector as it permits the whole class to study at once, things that would ordinarily have to be studied individually. C hemistry is the one most interesting of all high school subjects. It combines the romance of actual experimentation with an interesting classroom study.
