HIGH SCHOOL NOTES


The faculty of the Kenosha high
school, feeling the need of conducting
class meetings according to parliament
tary rule, have started work along this
line. Miss Hahn, assisted by Miss Far
riil, meets different sections OF the
freshmen after school evenings and
gives concrete examples of parliamen-
tary meetings. 1t is hoped that in this
way the students will learn how to
conduct, not only class meetings but
meetings of any organized body. The
same line of work is taken up with the
upper classmen in their different Eng
lish classes.

Miss Hahn spent Wednesday in Mil
waukee visiting the West Division ant
East Division high schools. She wa:
especially interested in the work done
in science and the general administra
tion of the buildings. Miss Hahn re
ports that both of the schools, which
she visited, have larger enrolment
than the Kenosha high school, West
Division having an enrolment of 120(
pupils and East Division $50 pupils
Miss Hahn also states that some de
partments have better equipment, thar
Kenosha but the character of the worl
| done in these schools, the department
response of pupils in classes and gen
eral administration of the schools are
no better than that in our own higE
school.
The high school students listened *
| an interesting talk on loyalty by the
Rev. Farrill, on Monday morning.
! In his address he spoke Of the lack
of loyalty of the present day. He
went into the history Of the school
speaking of the loyalty of the alumpi
and appealed to the students for more
| loyalty for the sake of the higF
schools past and future, reminding
the students that theirs was the first
high school west Of the New England
states. "You should be loyal he
said, con account of your rich herr
tage.' Mr.. Farrill emphasized the
fact that patriotism OF heart was what
one thoughts and not what one said
He pointed out to the students theil
share of the responsibility, showing
them that the rules of the school were
made, not for tyranny, but to make
men and women with self control. He
told the pupils in his usual frank man
ner that neither their principal nor
their faculty could make the high
school great power, but that the sue
cess of the school depended upon the
students. Brick cannot be made
without straw" he said, "and unless
you furnish the straw, there will be
mighty poor brick turned out. He
warned the students of the necessity Of
keeping their minds free from foolish
ness saying, ''I appeal to you, boys
