Commercial arithmetic is offered to supplement this course. A tlourisliinn- Agriculture Depart- ment given a knowledfie of soils and animal Imsbandry to groups of lioys. I ' nih ' r tile able leadershiji of Ilarland E. Lowe, the department has liecome a stronji; one, and to be placed on a liiji-her accrediting scale in the near future. An Agriculture Club has l)een formed to furtiu ' r interest among the boys. Tlie Manual Training Department is a bu.sy one. Tiie students are tauglit how to use tools and to malie simple furniture. Mr. Rutledge lias formed an Industrial Arts Club to whicli many of the boys belong. The Home -Economics Department carries out a well organized course in beginning and advanced sewing, and elementary cooking. Lack of room makes the department much smaller tiian popular demand would have it. A progressive Home Econom- ics Club carries on the work in a very satisfactory manner. Strong lines of work are carried out in the IIi.story, .Science, Matlie- matics, Language and English De- partments, lieing largely required work the enrollment in these depart- ment.s is large. Very successful results are seen in both boys ' and girls ' athletics in our scliool. With an enrollment of 2 2() and with eleven members on our faculty we feel tliat Bushnell High Scliool i.s a growing institution.

Our aim has been to reach the 1009 mark and to keep this record consistently. This aim was realized during the year 1928-29, and continued throughout this year. TJie Thrift ideal is to teach the methodical saving of money with a definite purpose in regard to its ultimate investment ; this purpose involving that which would be of tlie most value to the owner of the Thrift deposit, at the time of investment. This ideal has not been wholly accom- plished but each year a larger num- ber of students are leaving their savings in the bank. In this way, we feel that the idea of Thrift taug lit in high school to the boys and girls -will lead them to invest their money more intelligently when they reach maturitv. 3EEB!Ss
