The art display in the building has also increased steadily. Perhaps the most important additions were made in l909, when a special art exhibit was held in connection with the schools. A number of statues were presented to the school by prominent citizens: cthers were purchased from the proceeds of the L. C. S. A. A. meets. One of the latest additions is a beautiful oil painting of Mt. Raineer. lt is the generous gift of Mrs. C. T. Starr. During the last two years, thru the efforts of Superintendent Schmidt. unusual strides have been made in adapting the school to the needs of the community. Bio- logical, Home Economics, Commercial and Manual Training courses have been intro- duced. Agriculture and Chemistry are soon to follow. Thus the Wilbur High School bids fair, soon to become a real people's institution, not only of the town, but of the surrounding country as well. Already half of our attendance hails from rural districts. With all this growth, high standards have been continually maintainedq The position of the Wilbur High School as an accredited institution has never been jeopardized. ln fact every spectator, including state high school inspector, Prof. Twitmyer, has always spoken in highest terms of praise regarding the efficiency of the work and the nature of the equipment. Wilbur may justly be proud of its high school. But our progress has not always been on smooth seas. There are also those in our community who have been slow in recognizing 'the value of a first-class high school. Only five years ago a serious attempt was made to abolish the high school. However, those with broad humanitarian views carried the day. The addition of new courses during the past two years has also met with determined opposition on the part of those who cannot see beyond the dollar. But these crises are of the past. The broad-minded citizen constitutes a decided majority in Wilbur, and under his generous patronage the school will continue to flourish as the years go by.
