ME TS MQ Next comes the newly introduced Smith Hughs, work, which instructs the boys in better methods of farming, including soil conservation, animal husbandry, and farm mech- anics. Closely related to Smith Hughs' work is home economics, which trains the girls in arts of cooking, sewing and other useful household tasks. The sciences include biology, chemistry and physics, which not only explain the intricate make-up of our universe, but also give us certain useful facts which can be ap- plied to our daily life. In the business world today there are thousands of efhcient secretaries, accountists and typists who receive the foundation of their training in our high schools. Our musical department provides excellent training in both vocal and instrumental music. For some it is merely an outlet of their emotions, but for others it affords a firm foundation for further study and development. And lastly, our physical education department not only trains our athletic teams but also furnishes an outlet for intra-mural athletics. It teaches us the value of play and rec- reation i11 our everyday school program and gives us an opportunity to develop our phy- sical being. So year after year our faculty sends out bigger and better citizens. However, to most young children education means very little except the learning of their A B C's. There are always a few who pick certain great men or Women as examples and are ever striving to reach their goal, so that they too may someday leave their name at the top. lthink Long- fellow wcll expressed his idea in the following stanza of his poem MThe.Psalm of Lifew: HLives of great men all remind us That we can make our lives sublime, And departing leave behind us, Foot prints in the sand of timef, G.
