NEW SCHEDULE OF CLASSES

On Monday we took up an entirely
new program of studies. There has
been such shift in the periods andsso
much of our time for studying chopped
off that we will find it bit difficult to
accustom ourselves to the new order of
things. But we like this new program
for there are several new features
that we must all welcome. We are to-
have penmanship three times a week
for the rest of the year. Until now,
no provision had been made for this
work. Arrangements have been made
with Mrs. Heath whereby she is ena-
bled to devote forty minutes three days
a week to this work The pupils have
been placed in two divisions, each
division to be given instruction for
twenty minutes. There are twenty
four freshman girls who are made
happy by the new program, for they
are now given an opportunity to elect
the new work in domestic science.
This course will consist of sewing for
three and cooking for two days each
week. If one were to judge by the
number who are taking domestic
science. one would say that the
study is exceedingly popular with
the girls. Even number of the boys
wish that they might be allowed to
elect it.
