Editorials HE Oracle Board of 1904 presents this volume to the public as the result of a year s work and thought Having noted the kindlv re ception given former publications, we do not hesitate to send it forth x 5 4. . . as iepresentatlve of the school and a reminder of the Class of 1904 Manual training has long been a need in Lansing Public Schools. Recog- nizing this fact, we asked one who is eminently fitted by his broad experience to tell us how easily it might be introduced, and how valuable the result would be. This Hon. H. R. Pattengill has kindly and ably done, and we would ask your earnest attention to his article. ' XVe cannot close our work without expressing our heartfelt thanks for the earnest co-operation of teachers, students, artists, advertisers, photog- raphers, engravers and the many others, who by their kindness and faithful, unwearied services have made this volume possible. The list is too long to give their names, but we thank them. We wonder how long the citizens of Lansing will tolerate our present High School Building, its antiquated tire-trap architecture, its incommodious poorly equipped and worse ventilated rooms, and above all, its health-de- stroying stairways? Can it be true that the health and happiness of the whole life of the students is of less importance to our citizens than the expenditure of a few thousand dollars for a new building? XVhile a few of the articles submitted in our prize story competition were excellent. it is a lamentable fact that more than three-fourths of the whole number were seriously incorrect in spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and sentence structure. This speaks volumes as to the necessity of a greatly increased attention to these subjects throughout the entire course, if our students are to be fitted for practical life. Some rumors have reached us that the lower grades may be removed from the High School building, and the entire building adapted to the needs of the High School. This plan might be furthered and greater economy shown by holding the graduating exercises in the assembly room of this pretentious building.
