Much of the new equipment on the playground and school speaks for the varied instruction in wood-working and shop, as given by the Industrial Arts Department. When man seized the loadstone of science, the loadstar of superstition vanished in the clouds. He who has health has hope, and he who has hope has everything. The wise form right judgment of the present from what is past. Music is the harmonious voice of creation, and echo of the invisible world, one note of the divine concord which the entire universe is destined one day to sound. If I might control the literature of the household, I would guarantee the well-being of Church and State.

Honorable industry always travels the same road with enjoyment and duty, and progress is altogether im- possible without it. Trade increases the wealth and glory of a country, but its real strength and stamina are to be looked for among the cultivators of the land. Science is teaching man to know and reverence truth, and to believe that only so far as he knows and loves it can he live worthily on earth, and vindicate the dignity of his spirit. Artists may produce excellent de- signs but they will avail little unless the taste of the public is sufficiently cultivated to appreciate them. Education alone can conduct us to that enjoyment which is, at once, best in quality, and infinite in quantity. There are eight hundred and ninety-four pupils en rolled in the student body, hence there is present a variety of interests which are ably cared for through the school ' s three fold curriculum: namely, the Academic, General, and Vocational. The Academic course which prepares the student to pursue college and university courses offers not only the usual subjects of mathematics, English, and history but also advanced mathematics, literature, sciences, and foreign languages. For the student who desires an opportunity to ex- plore in practically all fields of high school learning except that of foreign language, the General Course has been provided. Interest in the Vocational Course increases yearly because it meets the needs of those who wish practical training.
