PACE SIXTEEN ART The opportunity to elect the subject of art is open to all students. Drawing is the basis of all art, tine or applied. It trains the eye and hand, it is the only universal language: it enables us to give free expression to the facts, the appearance, and the decoration of form: it is the basis of working drawings, and thus of all skilled trades. Drawing is also a basis of pictorial and decorative art, of the world's artistic products, of home and interior decoration and of art appreciation. The fundamental principles of construction proportion. light and shade, and the theory of color are emphasized in the work of all kinds DECORATIVE DESK IN. Believing that, after drawing, design and proportion, as related to design, are of the highest value, emphasis has been placed upon this part of the work. Everything that is made must first be designed. Example of Work Done in the Art Department

PAGE SEVENTEEN PHYSICAL TRAINING FOR GIRLS Group of Girl in Gym Classes The purpose of physical training is to give as thorough development physically, hs the conditions of school life will admit. To attain perfect bodily development, the student should have proper food and clothing, sufficient sleep, plenty of fresh air and exercise. Over the first three, the school has no direct control, but the latter requirements may be supplied here. With kindly co-operation the girl may become stronger and better fitted to meet the demands of school and social life. The exercises are not for the purpose of developing muscle. Many are largely corrective. Careful attention is given to position exercises, that faulty attitudes may he remedied and internal organs lifted, since they invite disease when they become lowered through continued incorrect position. The games and dances free the girls of self-consciousness. and develop poise, ease and a sense of rhythm. Then too, through these factors, a democratic social spirit is established.
