The high school student has reached an age when he feels entitled
to some consideration in the way of freedom of thought and expression,
and it is here that the odtime teachers idea of neutrality-suspicious.
discipline win not serve the highest purpose. On the contrary, here, more
perhaps than anywhere else in the school life, is needed the helpful COM
partnership between teacher and pupil Not suppression but freedom of ex-
preston o the part of the pupil is essential to enable the wise teacher
to guide the somewhat anarchiaic tendencies of youth toward slf-di-
rection and good citizenship. Wien the teacher does not possess the con-
fdence of his pupils they refuse him leadership, and herein lies the dan
ger. Wrong conceptions of life 60 uncorrected; there is no guidance to-
ward self control and self possession; and there exists a restlessness of
mind which will be harmful t, the school as a whole and to the individual
pupils.
The high school is the peoples college and a great per cent Of the
pupils enrolled will neyerggo farther in school work. This is the most
vital reason of all why the boys and girls should go out of the high school
as mature and ~selfdhsive as possible and why the teachers employed
in the high school should have the wisdom and patience to develop and en-
nance these ~self-arctTe powers.

There is little that Ia new, and that

of dress. Trifing variations in sleeves

are all. The most fashionable and the

is the circular and its notifications.
This does not mean that the circular
skirt is generally worn; if it were it

great majority of women, especially
those whose mode of transit is the

fishermen in Seattle and Alaska. The
