ZOLA CLARK, MAGGIE SHOOK


Rae Clark was absent from school
Tuesday on account of illness.
Composition, by Robert Dick:-A
few boys and girls Of our GLASS ar
ranged for picnic party and went to
a nice place up the river. The girls
SAID that they would get the lunch if
the boys would get the team. There
were Ray, Lloyd, Archie, Thomas and
I, in the line Of boys, and Edna, Jessie,
Fay, Emma and Allie iii the crowd of
girls. We went down to Mr.. Barbeu
Crawshaw and got team (which
was not very gentle) and a four seated
buggy. BY the time we had gotten the
team and gathered up the crowd
it was nine O'Clock. Ray did the driv-
ing, we did not stay in the same place
long at a time. We reached our camn-
ing place about eleven o'clock, unload
ed and picleted our horses in a
good place. When the girls finished
getting dinner ready we ate our din
- "i'Si "hiSh We SldIteu swinging.
While Nay was swinging the swing
broke and landed him in a bed of
prlckly pear cactus. We did not put
the swing up again for it was time to
go home. We then hitched up the
horses and started, but had not gone
tar when the horses became frightened
at jack-rabbit and ran away. Archie
was driving and he turned the horses
toward bunch of trees, but before we
got there, the buggy was upset, which
saved us the trouble of climbing out.
But no one was hurt and we soon pot
the buggy right side up and started
again. The horses did not seem to
want to run again and so we had
very nice time. We reached home lust
after dark.
Mr.. Harlan, Prof. Cooley and Miss
Harkins from the State Agriculture
college visited the high school Monday.
Prof. Cooley gave a short talk on the
study of insect life. He said that he
considered this particular portion of
the Yellowstone valley a perfect para
disc for the study of all kinds of insect
life and birds. In no other place in
the state is the great number of species
found in so great abundance as here.
The study of insect life proves fasci-
mating and instructive to those who
will but take the trouble to observe in
diligently. Prof. Cooley believes that
history and biology ought to be made
the basic subjects in every course of
study. Miss Harkins also gave an in
teresting talk on the practical applica-
ton of education that should be made
in daily life. Miss Harkins said that
Of all definition of education, the one
that suited her best was that ''educa-
tion is life The things that we learn
in school are not to be entirely elimi-
mated from our thoughts when we take
up the practical duties of life. A girl
must understand chemistry to be able
to estimate the nutritive value of foods.
She can make an application of what
she has learned in art, in the artistic
of her table and the
placing of her furniture in such a wav
as to produce the best effect. She can
use expansion, that she has learned
in mathematics when she has but four
yards of material for garment when
live yards are needed. Contraction
when she combines two old garments
% make one new one. Miss Harkins
in part, answered the question of how
we can make our education practical.
There is nothing in the school curricu-
um but that can be indirectly applied
% the daily duties we are required to
oreform in life.
