MISS NO It INK KVASS ibe Hettee BC COOKjNQ One of the most interesting places in the high school is the cooking lalioratorv or kitchen. When it is seen it ap| eals strongly to any girl with a domestic instinct. While the work in the kitchen is very interesting and the time goes all too quick j well spent. The work consists of practical lessons in cooking, serving, cleaning, the history and classification of foods, together with the best and most economical way of f preparing them. Each food is studied and prepared with its relation to the body. One of the practical serving lessons was in the form of a dinner served to the Sohool Board and male members of the faculty. The dinner was prepared by the girls of the morning classes and served by three girls out of each class. The kitchen is not equipped with a dining table and chairs, but with these borrowed I from the superintendent’s office, it proved a successful “debut” and gave encour- agement for the undertaking of a more elaborate affair in the future. The work in the laboratory depends largely on the individual work of the girls. Every week each girl is given a s| ecial housekcejier’s duty and is made to feel a resjionsibility for the appearance of the kitchen. Much interest has been shown in this department, not only by the school, but by many outsiders who have visited the kitchen during school hours and have found it a good place to come. More than once savory odors floating up from the kitchen have brought many a hungry person to the kitchen door only to find the last bit of something good” has just been eaten. Even the odor of onions, after they have been cooked in this place, appeals to the appetites of the professors and the boys have so far forgotten their bashfulness that they are now not ashamed to enter and inquire if there is not a taste left for them. Although this is the first year of the new work everyone feels that it has been very successful and that the way has been paved for the enlargement of the department. 22 ]

One of the most needed of all studies to make intelligent citizens is the study of civics. The course consists of a thorough study of federal, state and local governments. Mr. Montgomery, the instructor, has introduced some novel features called the laboratory work of civics.” When the national political conventions were l eing studied the class was made the delegates of the convention, and two political bosses” were chosen. These henchmen organized their factions and the temporary chairman was elected and. upon assuming the office, made a political speech. Political committees were appointed by him. and, after these had reported, a permanent chairman was elected, also making a rousing speech. The presidential nominations were taken up in due form, together with nominating speeches and seconds to them, after which a heated casting of votes for a favorite presidential candidate was held. A house of representatives was created by making each member of the class a congressman. The election of the s| eaker. together with the appointment of his secretary was the first business to l e taken up. Again, the s|»eaker used his power and ajmointed various committees among his faction. Bills were then introduced by each congressman and each bill being referred to its committee. After a report by the committees, the bills were read and debated, thus bringing forth some heated and flowery oratory. Thus, one may see. that in this new method, one not only gets the theory as to how our government is run. but also receives the practical side of it. VOQATl SVRVI IAL Y Vocational survey is a new line of work which Mr. Montgomery has introduced into the Civics class. It is taken as a part of the civics work as it is along the line of this study. It is very profitable for the student and is one of the best courses added to the curriculum. Each member of the class writes his vocational survey and then reads it before the class In this essay the student takes a vocation which he considers to be a good one for a life work and tells why. Then following this. the question of obtaining the education and the cost of preparation is discussed. He then give the possible remuneration and likely location for carrying on this work. The vocational work i very int resting and it not only aid the student who [ rrj ares it. but also any of the clans who might jiossibly be int rested in such a life work. 1 he purpose of tl.e survey is to interest the students in some line of work or trade which they might possibly take up in leaving school. rSnBrxn t 21
