The social, industrial and economic
aspects of our country haye undergone
such radical changes durug the lasttwo
decades that some of our institutions of
learning must experience an adjustment
to existing conditions in order to cope
with the evolution of industrial and
economic progress. Among these insi-
tutions is the Oregon High School, as
the standard of the prospective typical
American High School.
AS a general rule, from the country
comes the larger percentage of bright
boys ond girls. The work of the farm
and home are inducive to good health |
and activity, and at the same time pro-
vide the boys and girls with resourcefu'-

OF to-day, if they aspire to fulfill the real
purpose of real and practical educa-

They pursue the high school curricu-

mechanical, industrial or commercial
pursuit.
All students need both physical and
academic work, and community needs
