The heating system has been improved, thereby enabling more efficient work to be done in the culinary department. Novel devices for the sewing classes have been introduced .and various other changes are being planned which will be sure to help in the preparation of more efficient teachers of household arts for the future. . A ln the Manual Arts Department two new features have been added. The forge room was equipped for blacksmithing and new lathes installed. New courses in house building, cement work, architectural drawing and pattern making will be added to this department in the near future. A very excellent exhibition of the work done in the Art Department was held at the close of the winter term. Many artistic books were shown, which were made by the design class, including notebooks, nature study books, folios, writing pads, sketch and kodak books, children's booklets, artistic posters and society programs. The art work in the Training School is supervised by this department and the work exhibited showed good results. These departments are not without their share of honors at the State fair this year. The household arts work carried off three first prizes, two second and three third prizes. The manual arts work also received its share of blue ribbons, while the work of the art department captured every prize except one offered forthat work. This is all evidence that work is very highly valued by the State. - Each of these three departments is looking forward ito bigger results when the future brings more equipment, more teachers, and more credit to the student for work done in 'these departments. The striking result of the united efforts of the three was the founding last fall of the School Arts Club, which has had a successful year. - fi 1 mr- i ggfwg 20- Scie Km Rec On The To 1 The So w Inf Teal HB6 And In 13 Is sz Hei But Q off tioi the East, a graduat Iowa, too One s Junior ste manship i while pro operate ir The 1 tional trai country a pared to 1 well-balar --21

A H , ,- QE an n g II a g P 5 'Q' ND the whole Normal School was of one language and all the students elected Calculus rather than Latin, as set forth in the catalogue, for in the school there was no Latin. And it came to pass that the students became puffed up with pride and they lifted themselves up and said Behold we shall learn all things lest we be flunked and when we are asked a question then shall we all answer rightly. Let us make a name for grades. So they began an enormous notebook which would hold all their brains. For they had paper for books and pens for writing. And the President came to see the notebooks and the President said, Behold they are all of one knowledge and there is nothing that we can withhold from them in the way of grades. Come, let us telegraph for a Latin teacher and Caesars and Beginning Texts that they may not be of one knowledge and one language. So they were stopped in their efforts and were scattered and the notebook no longer flourished. The above is an accurate and authentic account of the gift of tongues as it is on the pages of the official book of records. But there is other interesting and valuable information that has come to us by word of mouth. It is said that the proudest student entered Latin. l-le was given Stella to decline. That means star, said he, Hand in this a star l shall bef' By the time the nominative plural was reached stellae were in the air all round about. So much the students suffered from these stars that they seemed comets. But after awhile the President repented his sternness and French and German were put in as a safety valve. At first signs of pride appeared but soon they all disappeared. The future perfect passive subjunctive was effective and the French words gave not only mental exercise, but such physical exercise that for a while football and basket ball were eliminated from the curriculum. l-lowever, soon a stage of equilibrium was reached. These departments have been very successful not only in accomplishing their original purpose, but in every way. And the students of each department are friends to one another. It seems that as a common tongue makes a nation, so a common language training makes friends. And even though we blink with confusion at the unreal conditions, yet we are glad that our training and friendships, the results of these departments, are real. Our history instructors are four, You'll agree we'll ne'er need more: They all fill the bill And I'm sure you will Never find history a bore. At the head Mr. Hendricks you see He's as fine as a teacher can be. We all him adore And in times of need sore, He helps us out to a tee. -19 SSS igiiainrg Q.. -Ze. ,Q Q 70s 'MN A third is a small suffragette, VVho works with her pen, too, you bet.

Commercial Department of this school was organized in the fall of l909 with Prof. Charles E. Staehling Q of Chicago University, in charge. In the fall of I9l l Professor Staehling resigned to accept a similar posi- tion in the High School of St. Paul, Minn., and Prof. E. Magee, a graduate of one of the Universities of the East, was electedto succeed Professor Staehling. Professor Magee remained one year, and Prof. I-I. G. Ellis, a graduate of Cedar Rapids Business College, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and a student of Cornell College, Mt. Vernon, Iowa, took charge of the department at the beginning of the fall term of l9l3. One slight change has been made in the arrangement of the work for undergraduates, in that they must have Junior standing before they can take any of the Commercial subjects, with the exception of Penmanship. Pen- manship is a very popular subject, judging from the number who are enrolled in this class each term. Mr. Ellis. while proficient in all the Commercial branches, excels in Penmanship. The other teachers of the school co- operate in securing very gratifying results. The department is becoming more popular as time goes on, and the progress will be more evident as voca- tional training expands. The life and success of this department is assured since the I-Iigh Schools thruout the country are demanding efficient commercial teachers. There are several well-trained students who will be pre- pared to fill these positions next fall. The department has for its motto thoroness and perfection based upon a well-balanced and broad education. 20 Q21
