to that which they will have to use
when they go out into the world
Pupils at the respective schools elect
their officers and executive boards for
the general organizations. No little
rivalry exists among the pupils for the
positions as officers. and weeks before
the elections are held the high schools
witness spirited campaigning.
Growth of school banks in Washing
ton has been considered notable. Sew
eral new ones are planned this year.
in addition to the first one, the Wash
ington High School Bank at Business:
the bank at Eastern High and the bank
at the Harrison School, annex of Bust
ness, which followed shortly after the
first bank, have proved to be successes.
Thousands of dollars have been
placed on deposit by thousands of
school pupils since the banks were es-
tablished. This, in the opinion of ed
ucators, has done much to make the
youth of Washington more thrifty,
while the boys and girls who have had
the actual experience in banking, as of
ficers of the several institutions, have
had a chance to learn modern banking
methods.
Among the activities which have
been developed to great extent recently
are the school orchestras and the work
In metal. Numerous orchestras have
already been established, and others
quite probably will be during the WIN
ter. This work was attempted many
years ago for the first time. but it has
been but comparatively recently that
the efforts of music lovers in the schools
have met with signal success.

Many of those who during the last
year or two have taken an active in
terest in high school orchestra work
are now playing in professional mu-
steal organizations.
AS previously noted, a number of
those who are taking art metal work
in the high schools are able to do no
little of this work in their spare time
for pay. A number of high school grad
yates who took this study are said to
be receiving good money for making
various articles on order.
Now ten-horsepower gas engine has

90 0HEN certain parent having
MAN. his child in one of the high
\V\V schools of Washington went
" " one day last week to see the
principal of that school and learn how
his child was progressing. he was given
one of the greatest surprises of his life.
Figuratively. this parent was another
Rip Van Wrinkle. who had been asleep
to the progress of the high schools
since the time when he had received
his own diploma, twenty or more years
ago. and since that time had seen only
the outside of the building.
This parent was but oneSof many who
do not realize that numerous and great
changes have taken place in the high
schools during the last fifteen or TWEEN
ty years. Most of these changes have
been brought about through the same
thought which has been largely-in
fact. almost wholly-responsible for the
demand and development of vocational
education-the desire to prepare the
youth of Washington more completely
for Hfe-real, practical, everyday.
workaday life. The fact that a number
of the innovations are after school,
activities has not lessened in any de-
gree their educational value.
:: ::
Educators have come to learn of late
that mind work and hand work are a
good working team. Said one of Wash
ington's best known educators recently:
We have learned that a child can be
taught the value of accuracy just as
well through the making of a box, in
which every detail must be perfect and
correspond to given measurements, as
through an example in arithmetic. Also,
we have learned that proficiency does
not come through doing alone but
rather through doing and thinking"
So it was that when a local automo-
bile firm offered real automobile
chassis to the Mckinley Manual Train
ing School recently the offer was glad
" accepted, and the boys are now
learning everything about it there is to
be known. Likewise, when one of the
boys of Business High School offered
the use of his printing outfit in getting
out the biweekly newspaper, which has
just been started there. that offer was
likewise accepted. and several of the
Business boys now have an intimate
knowledge of the smell of printers ink
Then there are numerous other things:
The wireless club at Mckinley Manual
Training School. the banks where thrift
is inculcated and real banking methods
taught at the same time, the high
school orchestras. which have long
since passed beyond an experimental
stage: art metal work, which has been
converted into a real money-making
trade by some of the graduates in that
study. and. last of all, a course on the
running of gas and gasoline engines
Next year it is probable that swimming

school is to have the first swimming

run on any distillate. 1t is causing a
great deal OF interest among the boys
taking up this study. particularly those
who are also interested in the auto
moboile work previously described.
So the high schools of Washington
are progressing. 1t seems that some
thing new is added each day. Whether
or not this is really true, this much
certainly is-any one who does not wish
to be another Rip Van Wrinkle must
keep up with what they are doing; he
cannot remain indifferent to their prog
twenty.

ing School bids fair to be one of the
most popular studies ever presented in
a high school in Washington. Parents
of number of the boys own automo-
biles, so that many of the pupils are
already interested in this work; but
then, what boy is there who does not
expect to have a machine of his own
some day?
Being students in school where en-
cheering. electrical work and other
kindred subjects are taught. the boys
at Tech who have elected to "dissect"
and reconstruct the automobile chassis
already know the difference between
the carburetor and the magnetic. But
there are plenty of things about the
machine which they do not know and
which are to be taught them by the
skilled mechanic teacher in charge.
They are to learn just about all there
is to know. With drag placed on the
back wheels they will be able to oper-
ate the machine under conditions
through the course it is promised that
they will have an intimate acquaint-
ance with every part of the machine.
and if they ever get stuck ON the road
will know whether they've got short
circuit or are simply short of gasoline.
So 1t is that if any parent drops in
at Tech he should not be surprised to
find his son lying on his back under
an automobile chassis and making an
inspection of the machine with the air
of an expert.
The press which Vernon Snow has
loaned the Business High School for
the printing of the Ledger. biweekly
student publication. is not toy outfit
in any sense of the word. At present
attach motor to it in the near future
Running off more than a thousand
copies of the Ledger is a hard job by
foot power, even if the boys take
turns a it.
Several cases of type, including all
sorts and varieties. accompany the
press. AS a matter of fact the news
items are set in type outside of the
operator. The advertisements are all
set by hand. however. and the paper
is made up in the little room which
is set off as the printing office.
The writing of school news by
the various members of the staff to
the printing of the papers on alternate
Friday afternoons keeps large num-
Der of students busy, no small part of
the time long after school hours. Mr..
Snow not only has an active hand in
the printing of the paper. but he also
draws the cartoons for it.
The business end of the work is
handled by the same staff which han
dies the business of the Balance Sheet,
the official school magazine. 1t might
be mentioned here that the editor of
the Balance Sheet, William c. La Clair,
worked on Washington newspaper
last summer during his vacation, in
order to learn as much as possible of
the real game" This year he is put
ting into practice many of the things
which he learned while on the daily.

schools for many years. 1t is only re-

through the success of wireless tele-
phony.
Although school activities as whole
are just beginning for the season, the
wireless club has been active for sew
eral weeks in overhauling the aerial
and other parts of the apparatus. This
winter it is planned to send messages
greater distances than in previous
years. The school has recently received
a one-half kilowat transformer and two
new receiving condensers.

PROFESSOR WINS AND LOOSES
IN FIGHT WITH POLECA1

Berkeley, Cal, Jan. 2.--Prof. 7, o,
Hines of the Chemistry department
of the University of California, is
living the life of a recluse today
Worse than that, he is carefully avoid
ed by his friends, to the extent even
that when he goes down the street,
everybody else hastily crosses to the
other side.
The reason of all Of whith is, not
that Professor Hines is morose by
nature or at all inclined to live the
life of a hermit, but that he engaged
in battle with a polecat in the library
of the faculty club on the campus.
Professor Hines emerged victorious
from the fray in that the polecat is
dead, done to death by dose of
chloroform. But his memory lives,
and probably will live for many odor-
Gus days. Death may have no sting,
but in the case ola polecat it certainly
has an odor, which is not that of at
tar of roses.
