THE CRESCENT is highly valuable for those who expect to enter the professions, and almost indispensable to an understanding of the mother tongue. Of all modem foreign languages French is the one which should be taught in High School if only one can be taught, because of the richness of the French literature. The History Department offers History, Ancient, Medieval, Modem and American, as well as an intensive study of Civics. No studies are better to the preparation for a good citizenship than these. The present is the outgrowth of the past and can properly be interpreted only by a thorough understanding of the past. The study of Civics enables one to know and appreciate our own democratic form of government, how it operates, and how to make it better. The Department of Vocational Agriculture is our latest addition, and was added because of a desire more fully to serve the interests of the surrounding farming region. Boys from the farm learn the latest and best methods of farming and in their project work put these into actual practice, while the number that can be accommodated in this department is not large the good that has already been done is very noticeable. Vocational Home Economics will be an equally good work among the girls, while the Commercial courses will give to both boys and girls an opportunity to prepare for a business career. In all of this thought and preparation for vocational training there has not been lost sight of the need for a broad cultured training. To that end are required the fundamental facts of mathematics, science, American history, civics, and a thorough study of English, our mother tongue. English should and does receive more attention than any other study. It includes a study of rhetoric, and composition, the history of literature, and selections from literature, English is our medium of communication, and by careful training it becomes an efficient tool. Through the study of literature the student is acquainted with the ideals of our civilization, and makes them a part of himself. One of our most pressing needs now is a gymnasium. Our local interest in athletics, especially in basketball, is such that we cannot be content to take a second place either in the district or in the state. We should look forward to the time when Elwood shall have made a record in the State Tournament. We should have adequate facilities so that we might entertain in our midst ore of the sectionals. These things are not impossible for us. In closing let me say as I said in the beginning that we thank you for your interest and support. Those are what have made us. We hope to merit a continuance of them. Sincerely Supt. A. W. KONOLD
