Parliamentary Law has been one of the features of Student Body activities during the past year. The object has been to give students the necessary practice in carrying on meetings according to the best par- liamentary rules. so that they can assert their rights in any public meet- ing. Gregg Parliamentary and Roberts Rules of Order have been madc the basis of the work. Each pupil is required to occupy the chair. Motions are then made by various members. ln this way the student gels practice in coming ltefore the High School and conducting business in the same way as ottr legislative bodies. The work was entirely new to the students, so that progress was made very slowly. Confidence was lacking. Pupils were timid in standing up and giving expression to their views. By constant effort great results have been achieved. The work will be cou- tintted next year. It is hoped that the 'student body can be resolved into a state senate and carry on its business in accordance with the rttles ol' that chamber. l'l'RRl'IN'l' ICYICNTS. The High School has been favored with a program every Thursday morning devoted to Current Events. Two main objects are held in view: first. to train students on all the great questions of tht- day so that they can do their duty as citizens of this country, and, second. to glve pupils practice ln at-pearlug before an assembly and expressing their thoughts. Pupils: are thus made to think on their feet. This ls probablv the mos! valuable training that the High School can give to the student. Here again great difficulties had to be overcome. The pupils lacked abilltv to give expression to their thoughts. Enc Greater results are expected next year. Studemg nhtaln fhef ouraging progress has been made. r informa-
