In recent years there has been a general attempt in elementary and secondary education circles to offer courses that will better suit the needs of the students in a given community. Since more people of high school age are attending school now, and since only a small percentage go on to college, the trend to make the school curriculum more practical has net with approval and interest. In this section of the state, Rushford has led the way in the establishment of special departments. The Commercial, Hone Economics, and Industrial Arts departments wore started several years ago, and they have been expanded steadily. With the addition this year of work in agriculture, we feel that our school is offering a well-rounded program and that the needs of the community are being better served than ever before. That the students are interested in vocational subjects is evidenced by the large enrollment in these special fields. Work in Industrial Arts and Home Economics is started in the fifth grade and nay be continued through the twelfth grade. Courses in Agriculture and in the Commercial department are confined to the ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades. COMMUC I AL In the Commercial Department there arc over a hundred students enrolled in General Business Education, Typing X, Stenography XI, Stenography XII, and Bookkeeping. There are twenty-one typewriters, three of which arc new. A new mimeograph was purchased this year which makes mimeographing a plcasuro. Besides the use of the regular 85 x 11 inch sheets, the machine will take 9 xl4 paper and 3x5 cards. As other duplicating devices we have the Ditto and hectograph machines, neither of which la new. All three are in daily use.
