while the even more Indispensable hair

1t is explained that to keep tenants

1t is great advance from the print

when women first entered the Offices Of

with a view to occupancy by men TO the

for those We do establish and then to introduce others as there is a de mand for them and as funds are available for providing proper equip ment. As a result those courses al ready established in physics and chemistry are provided with well equipped laboratories which sare so essential to the proper development Of the science courses The quarters provided for this department are modern in every respect and suf- ficient allowances for equipment have been made each year to meet all needs and to build up the department in a substantial manner As stated before we expect to start work in hotany and zoology soon, but not un- til the room, already provided, has been adequately equipped for prop erly teaching these subjects.
 The thought then uppermost in. the minds of those working in this de- partment has been to do well what We attempt to do and to attempt to do all that is practicable for a school of this size, not failing to keep in mind the increasing demand for this part of the curriculum.

LATIN AND SPANISH.

In this practical age there are many who feel that the study of a foreign language is wasted energy and particularly in this true regard ing the study of Latin.
 However. all are agreed that one Of the essentials of a we'll equipped man or woman is knowledge of the accurate and correct use of the Eng fish language. Since Latin is the foundation of so large a per cent of our English. it must naturally follow that a Knowledge of this language materially aids in the understanding of English. Many even assert that a pupil never really comprehends Eng fish grammar until he has had q course in Latin grammar.
 All are agreed also in another point that one of the chief purposes of high school work is to train the stu dent to think accurately and to hold his mind closely to any given sub ject. Latin, by it's nature, furnishes one of the finest possible opportuni- ties for mind training.
 Aside from the two main values. upon which we strive to lay em- phasis at all times, there are historic and literary and general culture val ues as in any other history or litera- ture We maintain that while Latin
Arizona republican., 1912-12-13

is called dead language" our Latin classes are in no sense dead classes z but decidedly alive"
 Spanish, in addition to these ad- yantages. which are scarcely less marked than in the Latin, has a commercial value, particularly in the southwest, which must not be over looked. In the class room work the aim is to train the student to use the Spanish from the first day in both spoken and written work Translation is made use of only as means to this end and not as an end in itself. Drills in translating from sound rather than from sight give the student early training in recognizing the language. Re trans lations from the English back into Spanish give him ease in the spoken language. Oral and written compost ton work, letter writing even Span ish dictation for those students who are taking stenograpy-in a word every device is resOrted to which Wil. give the student practical training.
 A two years course is all too short for our needs and we trust that as the school grows Spanish may re- Ceive more room in the course.

 Basket Ball
TEMPE UNION HIGH SCHOOL
 CLAIMS STATE TITLE.

The past basket ball season in Salt River Valley was q very Interesting one and many close games were play cy between teams of the Valley League. The Tempe Union High School basket ball players won the state championship when they de feated the. Tempe Normal, IA to 27. in 9 fast game, played on the Normal grounds on Thanksgiving day
 Up until that time it looked as il honOrs would be equally divided between Mesa High, Tempe Union High and Tempe Normal school
 Tempe Union High school won the championship with fine record. scoring one point more than twice what their opponents scored against them, but they did this only through hard battles, alawys showing fast playing and accurate goal shooting filling up each others places at the right time. They worked with the
 idea that if they did not have team work themselves. they would not al low their opponents chSnce, and It is an unsolved puzzle how they carried this into effect. being the youngest and lightest team in the league. A probab ble solution would be that they won because Kelly Moeur was their captain, he being rightly considered the best player in the Val txlNr '
 forwards and Finch and Turner Were guards. They all seem to work to- gether like a piece of machinery.
 A question now arises: Can Tempe Union High school justly claim the state championship? Records Of their games show that they can. But to leave no doubt about it. they are ar ranging trip through the southern part of Arizona, during the Christmas holidays On this trip they expect to play teams. such Tucson High : and University. Bisbee, and others l who might have any claim to the l championship title. which they claim l to be theirs for the next two years. 1 In general the season in basket | ball was a more successful one than
  ! the sportsmanike manner in which ! all the games were played. and the spirit of the student body and the interest that was taken by patrons. i The high school basket ball team have let up on basket ball and have been playing football, volley ball, etc, but will soon commence hard prac- tice for their Christmas trip.
 The coming track season promises to be successful for the Tempe High school boys. Among the last sea I'son's team are: Kelly Moeur. Leo Buck, Hegi, Myers, Spangler, Brooks, Harris, Austin and Miller. Among their new track men are: Stewart, Teeter, Thew and J Moeur With this material Tempe High school schould give every other team hard fight for championship honors.

MUSIC.

The aim of the musical department of our high school is not merely to strengthen the pupil in sight read ing and tone production. but primar- fly to put him in touch with the best music.
 Each recitation is divided into three periods of fifteen minutes each; the first is given over to the study of musical clements; the second to the history of composers and their works. The third period is known as the Musical Appreciation Glass; and during that time special numbers. comprising familiar classics. are ren- dered by members of the class.
 Thus far the Wagnerian operas "Tannhauser' and "Parsifar' have been studied; the pupils first report ing on the life of the composer. then on the history of the opera and lastly singing such selections as have been simplified for school use. Here we also learn which artists are now appearing in the roles
 In addition to regular class work We are attempting to further stimu late musical interest by organizing a girls quartet, a boys quartet and a glpp CluD

THERE fS NO CHANCE
 ID MAKE 4 MISTAKE
Arizona Ostrich Plumes at BaIke's
 Big Curio Store

There is little danger that any will forget that an Arizona ostrich plume makes most desirable Christmas present but for fear that some, wOr- ried by the approach of Christmas might overlook that fact attention $ again called to the large stock of Arizona plumes at Balke's Big Curio store Tn the purchase of one of them for a Christmas gift, one cannot go wrong The gift is sure to be ap preciated and it will be a lasting gift. There has never been a time since ostrich feathers began to be used as articles of personal adornment that they were out of fashion. A good plume will last a lifetime and throughout life the wearer will think of the giver.
 The Arizona plumes, according to the government experts are the best in the world. both as to glossiness and beauty and as to firmness of texture The Big Curio has handled them for years and so great is the satisfaction that they have given that orders are coming to the store from all parts of the country.
 Another reason why they would be good gifts to send to friends abroad is their lightness. The cost of send ing would amount to almost nothing.

The commercial department of the Tempe Union High School at the present time has about fifty students enrolled in typewriting. twenty m shorthand, and twenty-five in other strictly commercial subjects given in this department. In point of equip ment and number of students enrolled il is probably the second in size in Arizona. The rooms are well suited for the work, being large and we'll lighted, and well equippepd with fur niture. There are twenty typewriters in use at the school this year.

 This school is one of the best equipped of it's kind and with its able corps of instructors is accom- piishing many things along the line of education.
 We greatly desire the cooperation or patrons ard friends and sincerely hope that they will visit our school often and get in touch with teachers as wclL as pupils. How many parents know exactly what your child is do ing in school?
 Come and point out errors and help us to correct them.
 Many interesting programs are ren- dered by the pupils end all who are interested are cordially invited to attend the same. Our attendance has been hindered by sickness and acci- dents, but still We have a daily at tendance of 98 per cent.
 Great interest is now being shown in physical culture; even some citi- zcns and friends have joined the class, and We intend to equip our gymnasium as the demand requires.
 As we have no Y. M. C. A. or Y. W. C. A we may have specially con ducted evening classes. Systematic and regular physical training is es- sential to rapid mental development
 In planning for the construction of the Tempe Union High School, the builders wisely provided for that field of studies which year by year becomes more prominent among the courses offered by the modern sec ondary school. and is already a strong contestant for the first place in the curriculum, that is science. Only a few years ago Latin and English courses only were recognized by the higher schools, while science was given no position and few schools, indeed, boasted of their sci ence work. Today the condition is largely reversed, and we find the elder language courses drawing fewer and fewer students, while the vari- ous laboratories and shops of the school attract an ever increasing number of students. and bid fair soon to become the nucleus about which the other studies are grouped.
 Two years ago our first science, that of chemistry was introduced {; last year we added physics, and wa are now planning to add in a short time botany and zoology, with, per haps, agriculture. The aim has been not to try to establish all the sci ences at once, but to provide well
