The Highland Herd of Pure-Bred Swine We have shown our hogs at Ohio, Indiana, New York and Michigan State Fairs always winning the greatest number of High Honors and Silver Medals as a single breeder. We were Premier Champion breeder and exhibitor at Ohio State Fair for live consecu- tive years. The breeding of pure-bred stock is an art that many enter but few succeed. But the use of a pure-bred sire on every farm will make 300fZ1 on the investment. We have prices for our home trade and will gladly quote them. CHAS.

VERGISZ-MEIN-NICHT 1 I I S. R. TRABER Teacher of Mathematics and Manual Training SOME THINGS OF WHICH OUR SCHOOL IS PROUD S. R. Traber Pride, as the term often implies, is not a very desirable thing, but such pride as the people of Ran- dolph Township may very justly feel in regard to their school sys- tem, and of that of the High School in particular may be very easily excused. Every parent is certainly proud of the opportunities offered to their children by the High School. Indeed, do we realize that our High School is unique in many respects? Very few high schools as small as this are furnished with as many attractions or as complete an equipment as is Randolph High School. The building itself would be a credit to the progressiveness of any rural community. Three main class rooms, well ventilated and well lighted, afford ample room for all the High School students in recitation or at study. A large, well furnished auditorium, which may be made to accommodate as large a body of people as may care to be present at any one of the many entertainments given by the school in the course of the school year. An abundance of pure water on the school grounds, a very large playground in the rear, sidewalks of the very best, a physics labora- tory of which many a much larger L. A.

VERGISZ-MEIN-NICHT school could be proud. Chemistry apparatus of the most complete type, a very creditable library of choice works in poetry, prose, his- tory, science and fiction. Modern steam heat, fresh air warmed be- for it enters the room, three large rooms in the basement, one used as a laboratory, oneyet to be com- pleted, and one used as a room for instruction in Manual Training. As Manual Training has been in- troduced here but a short time, it will be well to offer a few words here by way of explanation of the work done in this department and that which is contemplated for the future. The Board of Education, realiz- ing the need of the High School pupils for work in Manual Train- ing, decided to equip one of the basement rooms for a class room in Educational Woodworking, so the latter half of the school year of 1914-15, saw the introduction of Manual Training into the course of study of the Randolph High School. The work was begun under the supervision of Mr. Clyde Hissong, one of the faculty at that time. Lessons were given in the rudi- ments of wood working, such as the making of different kinds of joints of wood, construction of smaller articles of furniture, etc. The work is now being conducted under the supervision of Mr. S. R. Traber. After many preliminary exercises, such as planing to a straight edge, fitting and dovetailing of boards, the real work of Manual Training began. ' 39 There have been many different pieces of furniture completed, in- cluding library tables, book cases, picture frames, magazine racks and stands, footstools, tool chests, tabourets, table for the Chemistry Laboratory, music cabinet for the school, and many other things, such- as bird boxes, blackboard compasses, and many other smaller articles. It is good to know that while our boys and girls are having their minds developed along lines usu- ally followed in the High School course of study which is prescribed by law, the mechanical abilities of our boys are being developed at the same time. A number of boys began the course and did not know how to drive a nail, or saw a board so as to follow a straight line. Look at the work done here, and then ask yourself whetheror not it pays to invest good money in tools for this part of the boy's educa- tion. After all, isn't this one of the really practical ways to educate a future citizen? Patrons are in- vited to visit this department of our High School. ll! Perry and Squire Wood's daugh- ter were seated in a buggy one evening in town Watching the peo- ple pass. Nearby was a popcorn stand. Presently she remarked, My! that popcorn smells good. That's right, said Perry, I'll drive up a little closer so you can smell it better.
