Prof. Coblegh of Fisk university, ad-

trip made by his company in the United

A new and complete course in voca
music is being introduced in all the
grades and in the high school under the
direction of the supervisor of music anC
drawing, Miss Nelson. The texts adopt
ed are the New Educational Music Ser.
les and are furnished by the school dis
trict. A complete, systematic course ir
school music faithfully carried out from
year to year will add an element of cul.
ture in the course of the twelve years OF
school life that will be invaluable. The
same might be said of the course in art
instruction that Miss Nelson is introduc-
ing, not a haphazard attack for few
years, but carefully planned course
extending throughout the entire school
life of the child. The basis of this work
is the Art Education Drawing Book
Course by the Prang Co. The result OF
such careful planning may not be i'm
mediately in evidence but will be seer
in cumulative proportion as the years
pass by.
The high school has decided to publish
a high school paper on the tenth of No
vember, January, March and May. In
addition to this commencement num-
Der may be published in June. This
paper will in no way interfere with the
work Of the newspapers of the city but
will confine itself strictly to the school
field. We deeply appreciate the court
esy of our home papers in giving us
such generous space for school notes
and hope to continue to supply them
with such school items as may be of
general interest. There are many
things that are Of interest to the stu
dents and to the alumni that are not of
general interest and these will in the
main constitute the field of the paper.
Central City high school is on the up
ward grade and it is to the interest of
the school and of the town that the
character of its work be known. The
following officers have been elected to
attend to the publication of the paper:
Managing Editor-Principal H. G..
