also now better prepared to supply practical training to all her children than ever before. For a long time the thinkers in education failed to take into considera- tion the undeniable variation in need and inherent ability Which occurs in different children. Some time ago, however, the fact began to be recognized, and now in high schools we find an important change. Wood- ward High School now Offers a choice of several excel- lent courses of study which should not fail to provide for the natural unfolding of abilities peculiar to almost any pupil of high-school age. She has installed in her splendid new home, physical and chemical laboratories that adequately supply a means of acquainting the stu- dents 'With the laws governing the natural processes going on about us daily and of which the inventor and the manufacturer make use in solving their problems. Domestic Science is taught to the young ladies as a factor of tremendous consequence in home economy and happiness. Stenography and typewriting are recent additions to the school curriculum, supplying a long-felt need. There are also mechanical and free-hand draw- ing, subj ects Without Which the schoolls full aims would certainly not be accomplished. A chance for young men to lit themselves for shop or other practice in busie ness is offered in the Manual Training and Bookkeeping courses, the former of Which includes constructive work in wood and iron e a training which it would be superhuous to state has been proven both comprehen- sive and thorough. A glance at the foregoing, together With the knowle edge that there are taught, besides, a host of other equally interesting and important subjects, sufliciently 11 shows that Woodward gives an opportunity to each and every one Within her walls to develop that peculiar in- dividuality with Which everyone is blessed. In fact, there exists a tacit understanding among the instructors to sensibly accept a scholar as he is and to shape his activities into what seems to be his destined course. But Woodward does offer other benefits to her pupils than those that tend toward making for honest success in business. She recognizes to the full that men live by and with each other, and therefore wisely urges her course in the direction of establishing a healthy, nor mal relation between community and citizen. From the democratic ideals set forth by the teachers, the gen- eral feeling of good fellowship and justice in the stue dent body and especially the interesting course in Mu- nicipal Civics recently inaugurated by the school, there is established a desire and determination to stand for earnest, sympathetic service to the community and possibly e as has already occurred With a certain Woodward boy e to the nation as a whole. Thus does Woodward serve humanity as she faithe fully teaches her pupils to serve heresincerely and with incorruptible honesty. She would have her children be- come citizens, imbued with the deep and abiding sense of a true citizenls duty and his responsibility for the well-being of his neighbor and himself. With this spirit fully at heart, there stands no limit to the wise and effective work which he can accomplish in the individ- ual position that he occupies in the community. And so will he reflect the noble Spirit of Woodward. -HOWARD STANLEY MADDUX.
