OF science knows no bounds. One Of
his latest exploits is trapping and
bringing down to the ground with the
aid of an automatic apparatus at

upper air from the height OF almost
10 miles. The apparatus and the ex-
pertinent were OF French invention.

the earth, although its density, OF

According to a critic the American
people are becoming more accurate
readers and writer's of English than
the English themselves. At Harvard
University there are 20 professors of
English, while at Oxford there is only
one. America, Germany and France,
he says, are all outdoing England in

II they find it necessary to earn their
way through college or University
this training gives them power to dc
it. Many pupils from high schools
where commercial courses are offered
have done this.
Commercial Work Valuable for Mental
Training.
1t should not be forgotten that this
commercial work is quite as valuable
for mental training as much of the
other work offered in the high school.
Mental power can be developed
through the study OF Stenography,
Commercial Geography, Bookkeeping.
and other commercial subjects quite
as we'll as through the study of Liter
allure, Science or History.
This commercial work like Manual
Training and Domestic Science is in

Pupils feel that in these lines of werk
they are dealing with the things they
will really use in life. School work
appeals to them as being really worth
while. This is bound to arouse
deeper interest in all other schoo

Commercial work. Students who elect
this work-take it in place of other
subjects. The number and size CT

increased expense of this work-be-
cause the additional teacher had be-
come necessity.
A pupil On entering the high school
may elect the commercial course. If
he does this, he takes one commercial
subject each year, together with three
of the usual high school subjects.
Pupils who do not elect the CONNER
cial course may elect commercial sub
jects in the third and fourth years of
the high school in place of certain
other subjects in the curriculum. The
commercial subjects include:-short-
hand and typewriting which extends
throughout the four years in the COM

education The school board has con-
tinued the policy, which has been
followed Tor many years, of making
the conditions under which school
work is performed as favorable as pos
sible. Through teachers meetings, at
tendance at educational associations
both in this City and elsewhere, and
in other ways, the teachers OF the City
have endeavored to keep their work
fully abreast of the times. Parents,
the press and the public have given to
the schools generous support, which
has been of very great aid in incfeaS-
ing the efficiency of the schools.
Successful School Demands Sanitary
Buildings.
A successful school today demands
among other things, sanitary build
ing, properly heated, lighted, and VEN
tilated. What would have been con-
sidered satisfactory 10 this line few
years ago would very properly be con-
| demned to-day. The Board OF Edu-
cation has, during the past year fur
nished two Of the Ward buildings, the
Howe Building on the East Side, and
the Lowell Building on the West Side
with all modern conveniences in the
line Of heating, ventilating and
| plumbing. The condition Of these
buildings had gradually grown more
unsatisfactory until these improve
ments were imperative if proper re-
gard was to be paid to the health of
| the children. The work has been
thoroughly done and this City will
| have for many years, school buildings
which will be source OF satisfaction
and pride to every citizen. While the
expense has been heavy the City will

Valuable Work OF Womens' Clubs.
All who have the cause of education
at heart are grateful to the women OF
! this City, who through the WOmenS'
Clubs, have done much to arouse an

support. Any organization CT citizens

Commercial Work f1uen To All Pupils

Nearly all pupils in the high school
have an opportunity to get consider
able training in commercial work. 1t
is the aim of the high school to keep
its commercial work up to as high a
standard as that of the work in any
other department of the high school,
1t is our aim also to keep the CONNER
cial work fully up to the standard of
the work in our best commercial
colleges. In order that this may be
done the commercial teacher employed
has had in addition to the Normal
School preparation for teachers, the
training offered by one of the best
commercial colleges in the West-as
well as practical experience in var
iety of business eSta bliShments.
Commercial work in a high school,
is valuable in many ways. 1t offers
to thSOe pupils who are adapted for
this kind of work-a chance to so
equip themselyes-that when they
leave the high school they are skilled
workmen. They can at once earn
their own living. They can secure
positions in the business world and be
in lire for promotion if they prove

Not all pupils are adapted to this
kind of work. But the introduction
ables those who have taste and ability
in this line-to pursue this work for a
period OF four years. 1t is long enough
for them to become skilled in the

such as literature, History, Science.
