Under the direction OF Mr.. Leonard,
our history teacher. the study of his
tory is made doubly enjoyable by
many new and ingenious methods.
Just now all but the freshmen history
students are working with great
deal OF interest on the writing or a
sort Of term theme on a subject rela-
tive TO the particular history which
each one Is studying. After Mr.. Leon
ard has looked over the themes, they
are turned over 10 the English de-
partment and the pupil receives credit
on his English composition mark in
proportion to the worth Of his theme
from the standpoint Of a complete
English essay. Thus, while learning
about an historical subject and writ
ing about il, he receives credit for his
work in two subjects. Another way
In which the study OF history Is made
attractive Is by "the movies" as they
are called, but which means stereopti-
con views OF the country which the
class is studying. During the past
two weeks, all the classes have had
these screen pictures Of actual pres
ent-day scenes, rural views, city
scenes and battle grounds. Then, too.
something original has been done by
the pupils In the way Of map drawing.
The pupil takes a piece OF glass, cut
To At the stereopticon lantern. On
this he draws, with India ink, q map
of the country which he Is studying
He then colors II with water colors
TO show boundaries, routes OF inva-
sion or migration, possessions OF dit
ferent houses or countries, seats Oh
war, etc. This map, when thrown on
the screen, gives very graphic pic

For the happy girl and boy.

Overful with joy and glee.
