(Mrs. c. F. Cutting, Correspondent
The opening of the Junior high
school took place September Is with
an enrolment of 16 boys and 81 girls.
Pupils of the seventh grade are adj
mitted as freshmen, and graduates OF
the junior high school are fitted to
enter the junior class of regular |
academy, seminary or high school. |
The courses of study include English, |
history mathematics, community CIV
les. physical geography, domestic
science and agriculture. All courses
are made very practical and adapt
able to actual conditions in rural and
economic life. Domestic science en-
braces the study of cooking, sewing
and hygiene and sanitation, and this
department has been well equipped
for actual work and experimentation.
Like domestic science the study OF
| agriculture endeavors to link the &C
tivities of the class room with those
of the farm. During the freshman
! and sophomore years seasonable farm
| topics are given careful study, while
| animal husbandry and crop produc-
| ton are the subjects for junior and
senior consideration.
The annual sale of the Universalist
! church is to be held in the vestry
| Wednesday afternoon and evening,
