Forty girls have enjoyed the Home Economics work this year. They have not only enjoyed it, but have profited by the work also. Owing to the lack of proper equipment, most of the time for this class has been taken up with sewing. Under the guidance of their teacher, Mrs. Tompkins, the girls have done a great deal of crocheting, embroidering, hemstitching, and plain sewing. Our kitchen equipmeut consists of a range, a sixty-piece set of d'shes, spoons, kettles, pans, dishpans, towels, and other kitchen uten- siles. Next year we hope to be able to do much more work in Home Economics. THE PLAINS SCHOOL GROUND. The grounds comprise sixteen city lots in a rectangle about three hundred by four hundred feet. It has good natural drainage and is nearly all in sod. Trees have been set all around the outer edge of the grounds. The school grounds are centrally located and are suffi- cient for present needs for buildings and playgrounds, but offer no opportunity for gardening or work in agriculture to form an impor- tant part of the school curriculum of the future.

At the beginning of the school year the school board purchased some manual training equipment, including a saw, plane, drill, square, and several other tools. These, with what the school already had, made it possible to do some Manual Training work. The first problem completed was a tool box, and the excellent grade of work done by the boys of the ninth and tenth grades on this problem was very commendable. It showed ability in being able to construct a necessary part of the equipment of any Manual Training shop. Later on, other problems were taken up and completed, and all of the work has shown skill and deserves encouragement. On account cf lack of equipment and limitation in the program there has been no great amount of work done, but it is a start, and with more equipment and time this course will grow into a valuable part of the school curriculum. The problems completed this year includes a tool box, equipment for basketball, six tie racks and five magazine racks. ATHLETICS. The Athletics of The Plains School are a valuable asset to the school curriculum. There is nothing that will bring about more genuine school spirit than a sufficient amount of wholesome athletic sports. Baseball has always been the leading game of the school and the men of the community have gained quite a reputation in this greatest of all American games. Only one game of baseball was played last fall with an outside
