COURSE OF STUDY. During the past winter the County Superintendent. aided by the Dis- trict Superintendents, drew up a minimum course of study for the Elementary Schools of Williams County. This Course of Study will be published by the County Board of Education. The course is thorough and will meet the needs of the Elementary Schools of the County. This course will be followed in the grades of the Edgerton Schools. Each High School works out its own course of study, but must meet certain minimum requirements given by the Superintendent of Public Instruc- tion of the State of Ohio. There are many things which might be placed in a course of study, but just what is best is not so easy to decide. One thing, however, is certaing no course of study should be made too rigid. Some selection should bc left to the student. All students will not enter the same vocationsg therefore what will be helpful to one may not be to another. At present we hear much about Industrial Education. Agriculture, Manual Training and Domestic Science are becoming important factors in our system of education. These subjects should not be taken up to the ex- clusion of some of the fundamentals, but should be offered to those students desiring them. I ' 'With this in view, Manual Training and Sewing have been introduced into the first year high school. The work this year was not extensive, but it is to be hoped that it will grow and a more extensive course may be offered. During the past year the following Course of Study has been offered to the students of the Edgerton High School: Freshman. Latin or Botany. Algebra. Physical Geography QM yearj. Physiology CM yearj. English. Manual Training, for the boys, Xt day a week. Sewing, for the girls, M day a week. Sophomore. Latin or Agriculture. General History. Algebra Qi. yearj. Geometry QM yearj. English. Junior.

Butler had rearranged their team and added new material, which made them a much stronger team than in the previous games.

Killinger pitched the entire game for Edgerton and was invincible in the pinches throughout the game, and he also received good support, considering that the ground was in very bad condition. The Edon hurlers were unable to outguess the Edgerton batsmen, and the re- sulting score was ll to 0 in favor of Edgerton. The Edgerton line-up was as follows: - ' XV. Fisher, lb, R. Hilbert, lf.-rf.

Believing that a Lecture Course is helpful to a community, the teachers of the public schools bought a course, shortly after the opening of school. The course consisted of six numbers, as follows: The International Entertainers, Count Alexander Lochwitzky, The University Girls, Charles Egbert Grant, The Ben Hur Singers and Players, and McCormick and Bronte. Although there were six numbers, season tickets sold at the usual price, one dollar. fi All of the numbers, with the exception of the last. have been rendered. The numbers have been splendid, each person being an artist in his line. There seems to be almost universal satisfaction on the part of the patrons of the course. It is to be hoped that another and a better course may be offered next year. Let the good work go on.
