The German department offers two
years of German ana at present SO
are taking advantage OF this oppor-
tunity to study a foreign language.
Many have lamented the fact that they
can speak no language but their moth
err tongue. Though no n can learn
to speak German in so short a time,
the department aims to enable the
students to understand it and to use
it to some extent. 1t must be remem-
dered that all must master 260 pages
of grammar and read about 500 pages
OF German literature in the two years.
The German Club.
The German Club, the members OF
which are or have been German stu
dents in this high school, meets every
two weeks. The purpose of the club
is to encourage conversation in Ger
man, to create a German atmosphere,
and to learn more Of the history, Gus
toms and literature OF the German ma.
ton. With this in view all have a
half.hour program and devote the re-
naming time to the singing Of Ger

THE ENGLISH DEPARTMENT
Mrs. Money, Instructor.


In the short space allotted to this
article it is impossible to give an ade-
quate expression TO the character,
aim, scope, and aspirations of the Eng.
lish Department.
Teaching English Is more than in
structing the young how to read un.
derstandingly and to write correctly,
yet, to assist pupils to a command OF
correct, lucid English, spoken or writ
ten. and to enable them to read with
accuracy, intelligence, and apprecia-
ton is no small part Of the work. The
two are closely related, for the devel.
opment of appreciative power Is the
best aid to expressional power. The
best class in literature is usually the
best class in composition.
The supreme aim Of literature and
linguistic training Is the formation of
characters This includes and trans
cends all other training. Since we all
tend to become what we admire, we
employ literature to bring the pupil
under the sway of noble ideals of
manhood and w%omanhood, noble types
of life. noble deeds. noble thoughts
about life and the duties and oppor-
tunities of liying.iuj. aof hn,.s.
y In the plan and scope of the English
work it has been the aim to meet two
needs of the high school pupil-gener-
a! culture and preparation to meet the
actual demands of life. TO this end
the English department offers a four
years course prepared by the state
high school board in accordance with
the requirements OF the North Dakota
association of colleges and secondary
schools as follows:

Mr.. Bolt Instructor.

Mathematics has been defined as the
science which treats Of the exact re.
lations between quantities. In the
rush OF American life, we aim at speed
and arrive too often at approximations.
From the very nature Of every mathe-
NAUTICAL problem, no answer q be
partially correct. This exactness dis
courages the students. especially those
whose nature enjoys indefinite results
and the subsequent dropping Of the
subject.
In high school mathematics is d.
vided among three branches: arith.
metic, algebra and geometry. In the
arithmetic, as in all the work, the
primary aim is accuracy; q secondary
one Is speed. The checking Of all the
problems is mandatory. Thus the stu.
dent gains "A confidence IN his own
ability and a satisfaction, which is the
result Of q correct solution. In alge.
bra an effort is made to make the
work the solution OF every day prob.

exercises must be solved to acquaintt

LATIN Department..
MARGARET c. hurd, Instructor.

Four years of Latin are offered in
our course. The work CT the first year
is necessarily fundamental. concerning
itself with the acquisition on the part
of the student of a working vocabulary
and an accurate knowledge of declen-
sion, conjugations and the more COM
mon idiomatic constructions of the
Latin language.
Constant attention is called to the
root words, from which u English
words, especially agricultural. medical
and legal terms, are derived. This Is
one Of the most important and prac-
teal features of the work, since our
language is largely indebted to the
Romans. To increase the Students
English vocabulary, word contests are
engaged in, in which each student
strives to find the mos. English deriva-
tives from a limited number of Latin
words.
The ready translations of the stu.
dents original sentences from Latin
into English and English into Latin
gives him a familiarity with Latin
forms from the order of the Latin
sentence.
The necessity of absolutely accurate
work gives an invaluable training to
the mind.
In the second years work the read
ing matter consists Of selections from
Caesars Gallo War and miscellaneous
selections of Latin such as "The Story
OF Ulysses" The Life of Cyrus" 1.-The
Life of Hannibal" and THE Life oil
Julius Caesar"
This is supplemented by the study
on Roman military life. Latin games
form a part of the second years work
In the second, third and fourth years
composition work is required one day
in each week.
CicerO's oratiOns are read in the
third year. At this stage, the student
besides gaining a knowledge Of the
events in the life of Cicero and of Ro
man oratory begins to appreciate the
authors style and the literary value
Of the subject matter.
In the fourth year. a study is made
of Virgil's Aeneid. The study Of myth
Ology is closely alled to this, as is
also a study of poetic forms, figures Of
speech, and the structure and correct
metrical reading of the Dactylic Hex
ameter.
The first two years work fulfills the
college entrance requirements ir
language and are the most important
from, a practical point OF view. The
last two are important from a @literar!
and cultural standpoint.

THE DEPARTMENT OF DOMESTIC
ECONOMY.

. WpSS SSS0SbSD bsuOSs SSNSss .
The new department OF domestic
economy, which includes both science
and art, has been given spleidid quar-
tiers in the south end OF the first floor
of the new building. The four rooms
designed for this work are finished
in beautiful brown and tan colors, are
well lighted by nine windows on the
west, and are being furnished in a
thorough and modern way.
The largest room is the cooking lab
oratory which accommodates twenty
girls. There is individual equipment
for each student and four girls work
at each table. The fuel used for cook
ing is denatured alcohol. Each stove
has two burners and there are two
stoves on each table. A practice les
son is given each day to the high
school classes. BESIDES this theory
work related to the practice is given
and the students learn when and why
certain steps in the preparation Of
food must be taken. Lessons will be
given on table setting, serving, menu
planning and table decoration.
When the girls have acquired suftic.
lent skill they will entertain a few
people at simple breakfasts, luncheons
and, dinners. The grade classes meet
once a week and the elements Of prac-
tice OF cooking are taught.
The Store Room.
The store room is just what the
name Indicates room where sup
plies and utensils not used often are
kept. The walls OF the room are lined
with shelves and drawers affording
ample space for the proper storing
Of articles.
Dining and Serving Room.
The dining room is furnished with
an extension table and chairs, a china
closet, serving table and china and
silver for setting the table for twelve
guests. This room is used as the sew
ing room also and for this purpose IS
equipped with improyised sewing
tables and three Singer sewing ma.

Accompanying these are complete

Department to Grow.
The certain growth, which Is to be
looked for in our High school cannot
help but mean an extension of Manual
Training. Already plans are being
made to add machinery to the present
wood shop next year. Lathes and a
band and circular saws will undOubt-
eddy be installed. giving at once an
opportunity for the ooys to take a full
years work in wood turning and pat
tern making. and possibly molding.
Manual Training in Bismarck has
made a good beginning through the
agency of proper equipment and the
hearty support of the school officials
and the people. Doubtless it will
oon be an important factor in the
life of the school and the community
in general.

Eight participants in a poker game In

bond to face Recorder Broyles this aft

appear, as all gave fictitious names
when they were taken to the police sta.

four detectives, who slipped up the back
stairway, avoiding hotel attaches and
others, and watched the players from

JEFF Hardin, who has several times
been arrested for running gambling ia

Hardin who put up the $50.75 collateral
required to free each of the partic-
