ADMINISTRATION W Superintendent James M. Smith, B.A., M.A. V- Mr. Smith, in 1925 Our Superintendent Speaks . . . We are witnessing the dawning of a new era in history-the era of the atom. It can be an era of great advancement with untold blessings for mankind, or it can be an era of mass destruction. What it will be will depend largely upon the kind of education we give to the youth of our day. The primary purpose of education in our school is to train all pupils to be good citizens. 0120 Our children are our greatest national asset. What America will be tomorrow depends largely upon the type of training our young people receive today. It must be a training that recognizes the worth and dignity of the individualg it must be a training that is mentally, morally, spiritually, and physically soundg it must be an education that seeks the highest good for all. This is our task.

Yes, under the supervision of Mrs. Marion K. Morrison, many girls learned to prepare delicious well- balanced meals. Not only practical things were done, but also cookies and other such delicacies were per- fected. If these girls learned their lessons well, there will be no need for baking soda or Tums. They are on the road to being good cooks. In personal grooming, directed by Mrs. Morrison, girls studied ap- propriate costumes for an individual, proper make-up, attractive styles, speech, and correct walking, plus other things which will help to make them more attractive. Is it any wonder that we have so many lovely girls at L.T.H.S.? Family living, a new class for senior girls, was added to the de- partment this year. This course taught the girls necessary things about the care of the home that a future housewife and mother should know.
