HILL fPrinripaU MANUAL KEEPS ABREAST OF CHANGE MANUAL was founded upon the idea that there are many sides to a complete education rather than just an academic one. Its first principal, Mr. C, A. Bradley, was an ardent advocate of a broader type of education. Manual's new ideas were gradually absorbed by the other high schools until all were offering similar work. In recent years, further changes have been introduced. Classroom libraries have supplanted the one text book. Classes in social and economic problems are now offered. New courses in commerce stress the practical and social values of business. Homemaking is even more valuable than foods and clothing. Education for the protection of the consumer is stressed in many courses. All sides of controversial questions may now be presented fairly. Four Progressive Education classes are cooperating in a national experiment. All courses have been changed to make them of greater value to the pupils. The faculty has adopted a plan of extensive reading of materials that deal with the problems and culture of the present day. Faculty meetings are usually discussions of new ideas. The building, within its limitations, has been adapted to the new program. These changes have decreased costs greatly. This policy of keeping up with the times has meant much for Manual, Most of the boys and girls of the community enter high school. are interested, enjoy the variety of work and methods, and stay until they gradu' atefin fact, quite a few stay longer.

ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL In the first class in Manual in 1896 '- Boys regularly dressed in school about like they do now at a seinifformal dance. The girls wore about a pound of steel springs in their corsets. Their skirts were thirtyfiour inches long and six to eight yards around the bottom. There was not a pair of silk stockings in the school. Everyone carried four prepared subjects and two periods per day in home economics or shop work. There were no study periods in school. Pupils could prepare here. as they can now. for any college or university in the country. The prefengineering and mathematics courses were especially strong. The athletic teams established the well' known Manual tradition of the highest type of sportsmanship and fair play in all contests. In the gym, the girls wore about three and onefhalf pounds of clothes not including shoes. In the shop, the boys wore blue overalls, a blue and white checked jumper, and a black mechanic's cap. Fashions change, but the high standards of behavior and scholarship established here in those early days endure. jAMiss H. STEELE. DEAN OF GIRLS Dear Manualites: Manual has changed since I first entered its doors. The school then would scarcely meet todayis situation. The proportion of young people of high school age now attending sec' ondary schools is larger than ever before. Naturally, with the increased number of pu' pils, there is a much greater range of abilities among them. In consequence, the high school has found it necessary to broaden its curricuf L I T ' v l L N 'f e .. it ' at N JG 4 i ia.-in-. it f K 'Q l ' ,iv V! V ,rj x XX . .X l i'I Q TV rx. ' - Trl i, 1 S 1.
