line he is encouraged to continue, if not he is advised to seek some other line. While being trained in the technical operations of the trade the students are engaged in the production of all the printing the entire district needs. One of the largest undertakings of the print shop is the printing and binding of the Sea Gullii, our High School Annual. This event is looked forward to each year With a great deal of interest and pleasure by the Students, who count it a special privilege to assist in its publication. We are still hoping that we will be in a position in the very near future to get out a school paper in order that we might create a better spirit in the student body and to maintain community interest in the school by faithfully reflecting its aims and activities. RELATED MATHEMATICS'Related mathematics serves more or less as a clearing house for the four trades taught in high school. Such problems that come up in connection with the printing trade are discussed in the related mathematics class conducted for printers. Those problems that arise in connection with the auto-mechan- ics trade are discussed in the related mathematics class conducted for auto-mechanics. These same conditions prevail for the machine shop and carpentry shop. Strict math- ematical methods are emphasized in the related mathematics classes, which should enable the student to approach his trade with a great degree of accuracy A11 hap- hazard guessing and approximation methods are discouraged. The related mathema- tics classes also make a study of any science connected with their problems, such as Physics, Chemistry, etc. This course serves, in a way, as a laboratory from which a student may derive the mathematical and scientific aspect of his trade.

WOODWORKING.-The woodworking division of the Industrial Arts Department is made up of classes in bench work, mill work, carpentry, and lathe work. The hen work classes are largely made up of beginners and students who have not progressed far enough to be admitted to the carpentry, mill work, or lathe work classes. In ad- dition to making any useful articles Which they may need at home the bench work stu- dents work on numerous schools jobs. In the mill work and lathe work shop we have a woodworking shop equipped with the most modern machinery obtainable. The student in mill work can turn out most any article of furniture or mill work that he may desire if he has the mechanical ability The students in mill work not only have the privilege -of making anything they may choose for home use, but they make hundreds of dollars worth of equipment each year for the school system. The girls of the arts and crafts division are supplied with the articles they may need, such as bread boards, placque boards, table lamp frames, floor lamp frames, etc. The lathe students' first Work is a series of exercises, the last two of which are a chisel handle and a mallet. In this way the entire school system is supplied with mal- iets and chisel handles. Many useful articles, such as nut bowls, candle sticksY powder sets, fruit bowls, etc., are made by the lathe students. The carpentry students learn the principles of framing, bracing, bridging, rafter cutting, etc., by building small models of some simple house. Students always watch with keen interest the progress of the model house as it is being built.
