Under this arrangement every boy may choose the type of work he is best Fitted to do and thus be happier in his life's work. THE HOME ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT The aim of the home economics department is to prepare the girl for worthy home membership by: . . I 1. Helping her realize the importance of the home, and her responsibilities in that home. 2. Developing such personal habits and standards as to toodis, clothing, and surround- ings as will insure good physical health. 3. Developing an appreciation of aesthetic qualities as related to dress and to the furnishing of the girl's room and home. 4. Developing skill in the use of household materials and equipment. 5. Training in thrift, economy, and business me-thods. To quote Zelta Rodenwold of Oregon State Agricultural College: UI feel that home economics is the most fundamental training any girl can receive, because no matter what she plans for the future she must every day use home economics principles. If she is to be a homemaker, if she is to be a professional woman. or a wage earner she'still ,must eat, clothe herself. must make her surroundings pleasant, besides earning her living.

The Latin Department offers four years of high school Latin, and a try-out course for pupils in the eighth grade. The latter is a ten-week course, designed to acquaint the pupil with the rudiinents of a foreign language, and to discover whether he has any aptitude for languages. This aids the student in the selection of his course upon entering high school, and has been the means of preventing many failures. ln the regular high school courses, including First year Latin. Caesar, Cicero, and Virgil, the objective is two-fold-to qualify students who may wish to pursue the classical course in higher institutions, and to stress the practicality of Latin in its relation to English, so that students who do not intend to continue with the study of Latin may derive pracical as well as culural benefit from the course. Vtlith the latter aim in view, Latin mottoes, phrases, and abbreviations in common use are studied, and word derivation is particularly stressed for the purpose of increasing the student's vocabulary. The French and Cerman courses, by the reading of plays, stories, and novels, by dramatization and singing, and by conversation, endeavor to give the student a sound foundation in grammar, to develop conversational ability, t0 acquaint him with the finest literature of France and Germanv, and to awaken in the student an appreciation of the history, ideals, andiculture of these countries.

MUSIC Instruction in instrumental 'music was made a regular part of the school curriculum in order to allow students to participate in the actual production of instrumental music. and thereby gain a first-hand acquaintance with music of that type. By playing some of the finer musical selections, these students are acquiring a knowledge of many well-known coni- positions, and are developing an appreciation of music which will increase as the years pass. Incidentally those who become the outstanding players find much use for their ability out- side of school, both in orchestras and bands.
