o's' ~ NOTES

manual training department arrived
Saturday morning. This additional
equipment makes 1t possible for sixteen
boys to work at one time. In spite of
this, the room is rather crowded on some
days of the week when twenty-five of
the graded school boys are working
there.
Thefdomestic science laboratory has
been rearranged and is being improved
so that the water supply will be more
convenient. Last year the sink was at
the opposite end of the room from the
desks and water had to he carried the
entire length of the room 70 do away
with this, the desks nave been moved to
the end of the room nearest the sink,
and in the space formerly occupied by
the desks, a model dining room will be
arranged.
The new students who entered late:
Myrtle stevenson, Clara Denler, Jessie
Halloran, Rose and Clifford Corrignan,
Laurel Radford and Minnie Hope, have
raised the total enrolment to seventy
seven "Cy" Radford and Alice
Seccombe are expected in next week.
The Senior class has received a great
deal of literature lately, among the rest
were the agricultural colleges "Spec-
trum'' and the Valley City Normal school
bulletin. In the bulletin we found a
picture of Miss Vera Vim, who was the
instructor in Domestic Science here last
year She is now an assistant in the
Domestic Science dep artment of the
Normal School.
A letter from one of our former
teachers, Miss Grace Kettleson, was re-
ceived this week. She inquiries about
the progress made by the "Lincolnians,
the class organization of this years
Freshmen.
Last Wednesday the typewritlng class
received instructions on the care of the
typewriters. They have been at work
since Thursday morning, and judging
from the clatter of the machines, they
are working hard. Miss Evans reports
the class in shorthand as doing splendid
work. The commercial department has
been very popular ever since its installa-
ton, and at present there are about
twenty in the typewriting class.
At the first official senior class meet
ing held Monday evening, the Seniors
we're informed that the number of
credits and not the length of time serv-
cd, determines whether or not a Senior
is a Senior. The Seniors now have from
nine and one half to fourteen credits
each. This is a much better showing
than that made by last years class a
year ago. If all goes we'll, the members
of this years Junior class should each
have twelve units to their credit next
September.
Frank Sullivan and Mary Robertson
of last years class visited the science
classes last Friday afternoon.
Beginning this week, MI. Stauff will
conduct both divisions in PHYSICAL
education: the seventh and eighth grade
boys meeting Tuesday and Thursday
and the girls Mondays and Wednesdays.
On the odd hour, Friday, Miss Cosgrove
will take both the boys and the girls in
music.
The new manual IN its departmental
scheme allows but three hours a week
for arithmetic in the seventh and eighth
grades Miss Cosgrove has tried this
but a change in the program Monday
indicates that %henceforth each grade
will meet five times a week in mathe-
MATES,
The boys and girls of the fourth, fifth
and sixth grades are showing a great
deal Of interest in manual training and
sewing.
