HIGH SCHOOL.

All grades are progressing rapidly in
the music work and the students are
handling the subject with astonishing
interest and intelligence. Our inten-
tion and purpose in introducing music
and drawing into our public school is to
raise the standard of education SO as tc
broaden the child's mind and to have
him realize the Importance of at least 8
fair knowledge Of the fine arts. VIZ
continually hear the cry, both from the
public and parents: Give our children
and coming generations a broad educa
tion. This can be accomplished only
bg supplying the children with The
instruments absolutely necessary tx
meet this demand.
The drawing work would have beer
started last week, but on account of al
school work being suspended, our plani
were not realized. We intend to have
our work along this line running in full
sway this week without fail. Tn,
interest in this study is anticipated Il
be even greater than that in the music
and by the end of this school year W,
expect to display to the public a very
nice exhibition Of the art work. Thl
value of this course Immediately pre-
sents itself when we find the childrel
studying Mother Nature, which from
time to time we picture with brush ans
paint.
It is our earnest desire that al
parents may soon be convinced tina
such arts as music and drawing hav,
too long been neglected in our publ,
schools and that they may lend theil
influence and interest toward this mos
enterprising and beneficial work.
i It is interesting to note that Oake,
State High School, as regards size, i,
the ninth largest school in North Da
kota. This is fact of which the cit,
can well feel proud. It is not sufficien
for us to be satisfied with our size bu
we should stand first as regards dis
cipline, scholarship, equipments ant
I efficiency in comparison with the othel
high schools Of the state. This envi
able reputation can be attained only b,
the united efforts on the part Of .thl
