THE JUNIOR
EDITION

In the history Of class in any high
school,, it is not often one finds a work
as undertaken by the juniors Of the
Willmar High School this year, in
publishing am extra edition of the
"Willmar Tribune" The purpose of
the edition is to make known to the
public just what we are doing in the
high school. We do not strive so
much for public praise, but with a
strong feeling and thirst for appre,
citation. we publish this paper; and
we hope it will meet with the approx.
al Of all who may read its contents.
In the past years it has been GUS
tom Of the Juniors to give the grad.
yates q reception at the close of the
year. The expense has been met in
various ways, hence the Juniors feel
that by publishing this edition they
can tighten the burden and at the
same time gain q few shekels. We
hope the people of Wtllmar will pat.
ronize US in buying copies, and by 50
doing. help us out Of our financial dlf.
dculties.
The Juniors take this opportunity
to acknowledge with thanks those who
have aided in this work and to "The
Tribune" who has made this edition
possible. 80,

If we could look into the conditions
in some of our mining districts where
men are toiling all their Life through
to get enough to support themselves
and their families, and in other places
they are compelled to take their 10

mines to make them work and earn
enough to support themselves, taking
them away from school and let then
remain ignorant all their life; and
where the girls have to do full.

be known and really understood, there
is no doubt that many people would
change their sentiment about freedom
and equality, and see large field
where great work,-a charity work,
if you please, (which could be placed
on an equal scale to any of our char
tiles of today, could be done.
Let us go into the factory districts
where we find the woman doing a
mans work for less pay. Here we
shall find the greatest spirit for wo.
man suffrage. They are working from
early until late in unhealthy, unpro-
tected working-shops, and their wages
kept down below minimum. At home

housewife, but what she then must
do for herself is practice.
Sewing is another branch of Do
nestle Art in which the girls learn to
make simple things, to do fitting and
stitching. Plane geometry is used in
drafting, long lines and measurements.
The aim of this course is to give
practical work which will produce
practical results. The work begins in
the grades where simple stitches are
first learned and later are applied to
garments the girl can wear. These
girls come into the high school and
may continue the work with interest
and enthusiasm. Here the work is to
learn how to use patterns, neatness,
accuracy and perseverance are devel-
oped. The second year the work is
more advanced. Fancy waists are

with masculine pride to find the
weaker sex beating them at their
own traditional task. It will make the
men think, too.
The women have a way of going
straight to the heart Of things, and it
might be new and stimulating ex-
perience for man to have to explain
to his wife, or his mother, or his
daughter,-as fellow voters,-just why
he was voting on the side of cor
rupt boss or in favor of the liquor
traffic or against the suppression Of
child-labor, and other things of spec
ial interest to the home. In this way
it will create new bond of union
among the members of the family.
The mother who goes to the polls with
her son, the father who accompanies
his daughter to the performance OF
their common civic task, will find a
new outlook upon their possibilities.
The boy will from early childhood be
taught by his mother of civic duties,
and this will tend to broaden his mind
and create greater responsibility of
these duties, and strengthen the tie
of relation among his fellow-workers,
which is the greatest branch of uni.
versal brotherhood.
Woman's suffrage will be good for
the state. The state needs expert
knowledge quite as much as good in
tentions and sound principles; and the
woman by the very nature of her be-
ing, and of her normal existence, Is
an expert on certain vital subjects Of
highest importance to the we'll being
of the state, such as education, work
ing conditions for women, the purity
of food, child labor. and the liQuc1
traffic, the social evil. On these sub
jects the women have that to contrib
ute in a way of special knowledge ant
sympathy which the state can i'll at
ford to be without.
Men and women have different quail
tiles, but to whatever quality b
awarded the price for usefulness, ther'
is no question that the two taken to
gether are greatly more valuable thai
either alone.

DOMESTIC
SCIENCE
Miss Hough
on paper,

Have you ever thought how impor-
tant Domestic Art is? The prosperity
of a nation is founded in the welfare
of families and this, in turn, depends
upon a happy healthful home. The
home now, as we know it, has grown
out OF the need of a shelter for fam.
lily life. Thus, long ago before men
had learned to build houses and cities
mothers seeking shelter for their ba-
bies crept into caves. These were the
first homes of the human being The
home makers have always been wo-
men, the care of the home and man.
agement of the household industries
having been at all times in their
hands.
OF the various kinds of labor still
carried on in the homes by members
Of the household. the most important
are cooking, sewing, cleaning and
laundry work.
ALI knowl dge comes by study and
practice; girl spends two years at
least fitting herself to teach; q boy
even longer in learning business or
trade. Is special preparation less
necessary for home making which IN
wolves so many kinds of work, some
of them, very difficult?
In studying Domestic Science and
particularly in cookery, you will lean
many interesting things that you
would not likely discover for your
self in doing Homework at home and
you will find pleasure in the work it.

With this as am introduction we
therefore see why Domestic Science
has been placed in the Willmar High
School as in other high schools of the
state.
Under the supervision OF Miss
Hough the girls in the cooking de-
partment are able to serve six o'clock
dinners at a minimum price and at
the end of the year are able to do all
kinds of work in the home.
They learn the food principles and
their divisions. A girl completing such
course has the rudiments of q good

MANUAL
TRAINING
e. r. Bender

Manual Training was first started
about eight years ago under the SUI
pervision of Professor Udell. It was
then conducted In the high school
building in what is now the gymnas-
ium. The grade children came over
twice a week and the high school
boys took it every day. Later the new
industrial building was erected and
the manual training shop was moved
over there. The next year Professor
Croyle became instructor and after
him came Professor MacEnroe and
then the present instructor, Professor
E. R. Bender.
The people of WiMmar, complaining
Of the already high taxes, were at
first greatly against the project for
an Industrial building, but since the
time it was built until the present
everyone thinks it beneficial. The
boys go to this department tired of
study and work vigorously for eighty
minutes, which gives them a mental
rest, develops their muscles and
makes them feel like going to work
with better spirit. But this is not
the only thing to think Oft makes
them handy and useful around the
home and teaches them to make USE
full furniture.
The manual training department is
we'll equipped with material for good
work. Among these are the laythes,
which enable the boys to produce
round articles out of wood in any
shape, and the band saw which en-
ables him to cut a large quantity of
wood in q short time, and benches,
saws and all small tools necessary
for good work. Besides the high
from both the Central and Lafayette
buildings, and the Normal girls take
manual training three times a week.
The blacksmith shop was built four
years ago by the boys under the ST.
pervision of Professor Croyle. There
are six anvils, and six FORCES with a
work bench and drill in this shop.
Each year the farm boys from the
surrounding community come in to
the "Short Course" and take up black
smithing, manual training, agriculture
and other subjects. This shop is a
great improvement to the school as
it gives the children, including the
farmers children an opportunity to
learn something about the trade.
In connection with the manual train
ing, is a staining room, and after the
pupil has made what he wants to he
takes it into this room for the finish
ing. First he puts on stain, followed
by wood filler, then shellac and last
varnish; finally pumice stone If want
ed. This gives a smooth, even, glossy
finish, which makes the article very
beautiful. There is also material with
which to glue joints together, as no
nails are used in anything made.
Mechanical Drawing was also estab-
Hshed a few years ago for the pur.
pose of giving the pupil a chance to
apply what he has learned in his 9TH

MUSIC
Miss James

Music hath its charms" so sang
the poet and so happily do the pupils
of Willmar High School agree with
him. The work in the musical de-
partment has been brought to a high
standard by the cooperation of pu-
pills and instructors. The interest has
been steadily increasing, which has
been clearly shown by the successful
operetta's given in the last two years.
As music is an elective subject only
those who really appreciate it are en-
rolled in this work. Twenty minutes
every Monday, Wednesday and FRI
day are spent in practice and one

fourth credit is granted to everyone
who faithfully practices and appears
in musical numbers.
This year the chorus was ably as
sisted by Miss Rademacher and this
year it has been successfully carried
on by Miss James. The monotony Of
the songs usually sung is broken &C.
casionally by the singing of popular
songs, which is always met with ap-
prevail by the students.
The Girls Glee Club was organized
from the nucleus Of last year and
through consistent practice they have
showed marked ability in their rendi-
ton of the songs and codas which
were procured and directed by the
instructor The members are as fol-
lows:
First Soprano-Cecela Barrett, Myr-
ice O'Neil, Edna Sanderson-
First Alto-Helen Sand, Ruth Slet-
ten, June German.
Second Alto-Ruth Beck, Ruth De-
LaHunt, Florence Styles.
The Boys Glee Club have equally
as well good organization. There
work has been of such a high stand
ard that many times they have been
called upon to appear not only at
school programs but at various enter
tainments at churches. They deserve
much credit for the class of songs
they render to the public.
First Tenor Otto Kuntz, Bert
Swanson, John Dale.
Second Tenor-Roy Erickson, Frank
Sather, Kenneth Wakefield
First Bass-Nmond Nelson, Harold
Severinson, George Section.
Second Bass-Joe Chase, Arthur
Limperich, Walter Erickson.
The work in this department would
be complete If an orchestra could be
part. There is much talent in the
high school and such an organization
would add not only interest but much
pleasure to the work. Here's hoping
that next year a large orchestra will
be organized and carried on to sue
cess.

should have some knowledge concern
ing the country's greatest occupation.
Some think that only the farmers
should learn about agriculture, and
that only those who intend to become
farmers should take up it's study. Ag-
riculture is subject that every man
should be well based upon; and the
only chance that many will have to
learn the different points of this great
study is at school.
