ganization of capital. It must include their wars, and their diplomacy, the relations of community with community, and of the nation with other nations.” in the past the economic motives in history were almost entirely disregarded; the political or religious were given the chief place. Today our view of° history embraces all phases of human activity—the political, religious, economic, social and intellect dal. I oc works which formerly dealt with wars or rumors of war, the dynastic changes and politics, now treat of the various phases which constitute the life of the people. More and more people have begun to realize that history has a practical value; that history ought to he of value in solving life’s problems. Some phase of this value might be stated thus: An ease in observing, analyzing, and classifying the life activities of today. No other subject taught in the school touches life at »o many points and in so many of its activities. Through seeing in history the close interrelation of activities of the past, the student may be led to see the close interrelation of the astivities of his own day. Again, history can help him to save experience. He can learn to apply it with due modification, to present problems; not the answers of the past to past problems, but the ways of solving these problems. The past cannot answ'er the problems of the present, but can help him to answer them. History can help the individual to get the other person's view point. It can teach him to become more tolerant—a very necessary quality in our day. In studying the struggles of the past, he learns to see that question from two or more sides. This practice helps with the practice in other subjects taught in school, to consider a present question from its many sides. History has a practical value in connecting the present almost as intimately with the past as hope does the present with the future. It gives two or more points together with the present from which direction and tendency may be seen. It can thus break down the loneliness of the present. Moreover, because history deals with actual men, and states, and people, it has a profound influence on the individual. It brings him into touch with other men. What travel and acquaintance does for us in the now’ and here, that must history do for us as our vision broadens. It is but travel into time instead of into space; it is acquaintance with the larger affairs, more varied communities, more experienced leaders. The individual learns to see life as life of the race. He thus learns valuations and the pow’er of judging character. History, too, must answer the test of good citizenship. Histories that deal merely with the deeds of kings and warriors, and neglect the labors of the common man must go. The record of the joys and sorrows, the hopes and disappointments of the masses is of infinitely more importance than the achievements of a few men, and the descriptions of wonderful works of art and architecture. In this spirit recent history is of more importance than that of ancient times; the history of our own country than that of foreign lands; the labors and plans of multitudes than the pleasures and dreams of the few. History then, more than any other subject, has an opportunity to improve the citizenship of our land, to instill into the minds of all the social spirit, so that the American citizen may become more and more unselfish, patriotic and efficient.

Although a “study-’ for which no credit is received on the Ir oks, athletics i- cue of tile big material things which our high school possesses. li is a recognized fact, that a good physical body is necessary in order to have a ‘tear mind. Therefore, just as the physical condition of the body is, so will be the mental condition. The Athletic department in the high school is of so much value because of the fact that the bovs and girls are heal'hier because of it and above all, the students are brought into contact with other teams in contests which require skill and tiaining, and which show olf the boy. Mondovi as a school has always stood for clean athletics, and by playing clean athletics she has ranked herself high with even the largest schools in the state. The material we have had to work with was not out of the ordinary, but persistent hard work has probably counted toward our success. Four years ago our crack basket ball team went to the tournament and the girls' team secured the championship of Wisconsin. In track we are also successful. Galen Pierce, who represented the school in the half mile run, made it in 2:0!). His brother, Glen, made the mile in 4.44. Lawrence Solberg made the hundred yard dash in 10 1-3; 220 in 23 1-2; 440 in 53. The next year Mondovi was represented in three meets, taking honors in 41. At La Crosse, Hibbard Broadfoot took two third each; in the 220. nr’’ the 100 yard dash, and the first in the 440. Edgar Farrington took third in the mile run. At Kau Claire Hibbard took second in the 100 yard dash, and third in ti e 220. Loren Burst took second in the discus throw. At Madison. Hibbard ‘icd for second in the 440 yard dash. Another crack basket ball team was had this year.
