hen you visit the high school on Par
t's day there are four places you
ust be sure to visit. They are the
laboratory, the gymnasium, the library,
"a the sewing room. In these four
particulars Central City high school
#ands second to no high school in the
&ate. The catalogue work now being
I1one in the library discloses the fact
mat there are about 1000 volumes in
Itre library, about thousand of which
1aAve never been classified. In few
'fhonths these books will be classified bv
Subject, title, and author, by the card
system, and we shall not only have the
Mgest, but the best classified school

Mecked out and took home 50 books.
ihis is exclusive of books checked out
ahd used in the building for reference
rprposes. With the card system in use,
the library will be used ten times where
IL is visited once now and will be as it
SHOULD be the busiest place in the school.
The laboratory is equipped for work in
w the sciences, and is especially well
yFovided with apparatus and Material
Rr the study of physics, botany, chem
H9try, geology, and mineralogy. 1t
you'd take too much valuable space to
fsll about the laboratory here Next
week we will give an account of the
BOTANY equipment and shall discuss a
9ew topic each week in order that our
People may know why we are proud of
fhe laboratory. The gymnasium con-
tains over $500 worth of apparatus,
post OF which has been donated to the
fchool. 1t is the center of system of
physical culture that is given place on
NE daily program in every room. This
physical training is given under the di-
ection of competent supervisor and
IS proving a valuable addition to the
daily work. The whole child needs edu-
.qRtion, not the mind alone, and when
Ne can add to our present equipment
ss3e manual training benches, and the
cook stove we shall have taken a de-
cided and necessary step toward that
larger ideal of education which we are
convinced is the true standard for the
modern school. The hand and the eye
need training as well as the memory
and the school is a proper and desirable
place to give the training for all.
A parents day program is being pre-
pared for Friday afternoon. February
7th. A large attendance not only of
parents, but of others who are interest
ed in the work of the schools is already
assured. There will be program in
every room beginning at 1:3O p. m.

time and you are welcome to visit any
one or more of them. Chairs will be
provided in all the rooms for all visitors
who may come. We shall give an out
line Of the various programs next week.
At $50 p. m. the schools will be dis
missed and the visitors and teachers
will repair to the high school assembly
room for an hours program including
short addresses by patrons and teachers
on subjects relating to school admins
tration in general, special music by Wis
itors and by pupils, and question box
which will give opportunity for any one
to introduce subject directly relating
to the work of our schools.
At $50 or at the close of the program
there will be solace for the inner mar
and good cheer galore in the reception
room to which everyone will be invited
for a social hour. No one can afford tc
miss this part of the program. 1t will
