VISIT TO STARR
MADE TO SEE
USE OF WOOD

The botany class left the High school
in the afternoon, December 7th, to go
to the Starr Piano factory, for the
purpose of finding out what parts OF
the piano are made out Of the woods
we have studied, since part of the
work in this subject is the study of the
comercial uses of wood.
The company owns many acres
around the factory, where they have
four million feet of lumber ready for
use at the present time. The main
manufacture of pianos are: hard
maple, yellow poplar, bass wood. and
chestnut. Besides all this lumber
there are many flower beds, which
add to the attractiveness OF the fac.
tory
The buildings are all of red brick
and there are five in all. All the bus
mess and private offices are In the
administration building, which is
more elegant than the others.
There are three low, gravel-roof
buildings, which are called kilns
These buildings are used for no other
purpose than to dry this wood sc
that it will not warp. One of the
buildings has only bass wood in 1t. This
wood is so important in the manufac
turing of pianos that they have sep
arate building in order that the wood
may dry properly.
There is also another building which

GIRLS LEARN.
HOW TO keep
THEIR HOMES
BY VIRGINIA JONES.

A confusion often arises in the
minds of many concerning the terms
Domestic Art and Domestic Sci
ence." The question is asked What
is Domestic Science?" What is Do
nestle Art?" Although the terms are
different in different parts of the coun
try, the term Home Economics usu-
ally refers to the general topic of
home making. Domestic Art and Do
rnestic Science are divisions of this
general topic. Domestic Art is taught
in the High School under the super
vision of Miss Emma Bond includes
the study of furnishings in the home; !;
the study of textiles as pertaining to
the home furnishings and clothing;
the cutting, making and fitting of gar
ments; and the study of economy in
the home as related to the division of
the family budget.
The girl learns in the Domestic Art
Department to. furnish her home SEN
sibly and attractively. She is taught
to buy suitable draperies and carpets
SO that they may be in harmony with
the other housefurnishings The Ques-
tions Of buying and making house
hold linens are discussed and much
information gathered. For practical
work the girls prepare the linens used
in the Domestic Science Department.
knowledge Of Textiles.
A thorough knowledge of textiles
is necessary for the intelligent pur-
chaser. The girls are taught the his
tory and manufacture of fabrics used
in the home. Each pupil learns by
means of the textbook, the teacher
and her own personal experience the
most suitable material for healthful
and enduring clothing. She learns the
prices and widths of the different fab
RIGS SO that she is able to buy without
the loss of either money or material.
Another important part of the study
of textiles is the testing of fabrics.
By means of simple tests performed
in the school, the girls learn to de-
termine the uality of cloth and to dis
cover adulterations if there are any.
After the girl has gotten the most
suitable material which can be pro-
cured for her garment she plans for
the making. With the aid of helpful
suggestions from the teacher she plans
SO that it may be suitable for the
wearer and for the purpose for which
it is intended. The pattern is drafted
or the commercial pattern to be used
is studied. The garment is then cut
and made entirely by the girl. The
sewing is done by hand where neces-
sary but otherwise on the machine
and the girls are taught the care and
use of the machine. The last term of

WORK
IS REQUIRED IN
FRESHMAN YEAR

The physical department in the
school is one OF very much interest.
Physical training is required the first
two semesters, Of both boys and girls.
A large number continues this subject
throughout the four years. The classes
for boys under the direction OF Mr..
Nohr meet on Tuesday and Thursday.
There are five classes day and two
hundred members. The girls meet on
Monday and Wednesday under the di.
rection of Miss Clara Comstock. There
are five classes day and on hundred
and sixty members.
The boys have been working for
gymnastic proficiency in order to be-
come eligible for the "Gymnastic
Medal Test" Any boy who gets one
hundred points out Of possible one
hundred and twenty will receive a
medal in chapel.
The foundation of the gym lessons
consists of free exercises, with or with
out hand apparatus such as dumb bells,
Indian clubs and wands; regular ap-
paratus work on the horse, buck,
parallel bars, horizontal bar, ladders,
stall bars. climbing poles, travelling
rings and jumping standards. Many OF
the boys have become quite proficient
in this work.
Basket Ball.
About sevent.five boys are playing
inter-group basket ball after school.
Much interest is taken in these games
and many fast games are played. Men,
bers of the first and second teams are
not permitted to participate in these
games.
The representative team of the
school practices twice a week, either
in the gym or at the Coliseum. MI.
Nohr is the coach and has one of the
best teams the school has ever had.
They have not lost game played on
the home floor.
The girls have been carrying on the
same type of work as the boys except
that it is less severe. More emphasis
is put on grace and posture. After
school on Friday, the girls play basket
ball There are from four to six teams
participating in league.

ART CLASS WORKS
UNDER DIRECTION OF
MISS MAUD BARCER
BY MILDRED NUSBAUM.

The Art department of the Rich
mond high school. under the direction
of Miss Maud Barger, has been ac-
cOmplishing results along various lines
of work this term.
A special feature is the pen and ink
work which has been done by the stu
dents for the school paper, The Cyno-
sure. They have made headings. car
toons. and all kinds of illustrations in
black and white.
metal work done by the advanced
classes. They are making and design
ing many articles of silver, copper,
and brass, besides constructing few
articles of simple jewelry, such as
rings, pins and bracelets. They are
also learning to set stones, and to
enamel, using various colors.
The work in the art department
has been planned for the purpose of
beautifying and decorating the home.
such as making Gather mats. and
leather book covers, with appropriate
color design. Bags, purses, card cases
bill books, etc., are designed in colors
to harmonize with the wearing apparel
of the persons for whom they are in
tended. Some OF the leather craft
work is done in connection with the
metal work, as some of the articles
consist of both leather and metal
Some of the students are following
the fine art course and working in OIL
The painting of this order consists
chiefly of landscapes or still life, and
is done by some Of the advanced pu-
pills.
In the evening classes, some Of the
students are working in life from
posed models, also landscape compo-
sitions, using charcoal and colored
colored crayons. Others are working
in designs and ornaments in leather
craft, as the pupils in the day classes
are doing.
One of the great advantages of the
art department is the fact that every
pupil is allowed to follow the line Of
work to which he is best adapted, and
is not confined to set standard, thus
carrying out the idea of vocational
training.

CURRENT EVENTS FORM
PART OF HISTORY WORK

only one is recited upon. In this way
the boys and girls are kept in touch
with the happenings Of the day.
This work did not originate in the
Richmond schools but is a movement
that is spreading over the entire coun-
try. Everywhere it has been tried, it
has been received very favorably by
both the teachers and pupils In some
schools part Of the time each day is
devoted to this work The best way,
of course, to Judge its real value is by
the comments of the students them
selves. Where they have been asked
to Civ. their opinions some of the fol-
lowing answers were obtained:

want to or not"
Without it, we probably would have

though the number of pupils taking
them has decreased somewhat since

five hour subjects and a year of one
required OF the girls.

Honest Labor Paws;
Story Tells Moral

"Well, we are at the end of our
string. Some OF us must think up a
plan, and do 1t pretty quickly or we'll
have to come down to common work. "
The speaker was tall dark haired fell
low of about thirty years. AS he spoke
he arose from his chair and walked
over to the table where two men were
smoking, sitting smoking around a
small table. The men were fairly well
dressed and rather good looking but
an expression of disbursement shad-
owed each face.
No sooner had the words been utter
ed than the door of the dingy room
burst open and the fourth man enter
ed. In contrast to the other discourag-
ed men of the company, the last young
man seemed very jovial, just at pres
ent. Throwing off his hat as he en-
tered he crossed the room and pulled
a chair up to the table. The three
occupants waited breathlessly for a
report from the newcomer.
Boys" Joe said eagerly, 1--WE hit
on plan, and it's some plan too."
With these words of encouragement
the faces about the table took on new
expressions of surprise and interest.
What is it," chorused the three
excitedly.
Joe titled his chair back against
the wall and rested his feet on the
table and began to roll a cigarette.
please, don't get SO excited" ex-
claimed Joe in tone of superiority.
Maybe you fellowsII think it's too
big risk to run, but I guess, with a
little coaxin' you'd do anything once"
ooh! well, Joe, come on and tell us
what's on your mind and quit lodging
the subject" impatiently cried Bob,
the eldest of the company.
Right out here about fifty miles is
an Indian village, you know. Well
those Indians are rich and not afraid
to spend their money either. They
can't understand proposition very
clearly, SO If you put something up to
them that looks pretty good from the
outside. they are bound to bite"
Come on, Joe, out with it, the prop
osition l mean," broke in Bob.
"Now, just you wait a minute,
Bobbie, DEAR" the speaker said sneer-
ingly, I'm coming to that in a min
ute. That Indian village is going crazy
about gold. They're buying stocks in
mines every day." here Joe paused, re-
lighted his cigarette, pulled his chair
closer to the table and continued in
a softer tone. Suppose, Bob, you and
l go out there and pretend we have a
gold mine. We can sell shares as fast
as we can take the money-and-well,
we can get away all right"
Bob rested his head upon his hand
and seemed to be in deep thought for
minute or two. Then he stood up
and offered his hand to Joe. You're
all right my pal Maybe that is a

JUNIOR CLUB HELPS
STUDENTS BECOME
BETTER CITIZENS
BY JULIUS TIETz.

The Junior Commercial club is a
high school organization, the purpose
of which is threefold, first: to encOur-
age high school students to keep well
posted on current topics; second, to
give the students an opportunity to
practice public speaking; and third,
to make the students better citizens
and more useful to the community by
the observance of the above two pur-
poses.
The club controls the financial af-
fairs of all debating and public speak
ing contests in which Richmond en-
cages. All representatives Of Rich
mond in any debate or public speaking
contest must be member of the club.
AS membership is open to all high
school students, there is no injustice
in that ruling.
Meetings of the club are held every
other Tuesday evening at o'clock in
the high school building. The pro-
grams have consisted of debates be-
speeches. The debaters have been on
such current topics as Greater Ma
tional Defense" Municipal Govern
ment," Compulsory Military Training
in the School," Socialism" Some of
the individual speeches were about:
"An International Confederacy," "The
World is Growing Better" Wilson,
the Greatest Man in America" AS re-
plies are permitted to individual
speeches, a great deal Of heated and
enthusiastic discussion has been
evoked.

ATHLETICS CAIN
GREAT SUCCESS

The athletics of Richmond High
school are what the student makes
them. His money and his interest
make them 60 and wholly in the spirit
with which he gives these is the
story OF the athletic success told.
This year has been the most success
full in the athletic field for Richmond
Hi for some time.
With one of the best basketball
teams in the state, thus far, winning
eleven games out of fourteen, the High
school athletics have forged to the
front this season. This is all due to
the school spirit, which prevails at
this school. That unconquerable, never
die doggedness of every student, be he
big or small, that asserts itself from
the beginning to the very end of the
struggle, at once impresses everyone
foreign to the Richmond Hi of her
support to her athletic enterprises.
Her loyalty, especially this year, has
won the voluntary praise and ac-
knowledgement of contesting High
schools, of the real, true school spirit
that exists at the Richmond High
school.-P H. F.

BY DOROTHY HEIRoNlmus.

In the present day hurry and rush
people are inclined to underestimate
the value of history. In the move
ment for vocational training they be-
grudge the time spent in a study OF
the past. But they overlook the real
value OF this study. Without it no per-
son can fully understand the social
and political events of his own day.
In the Richmond high school five
courses in history are offered: ancient
hisotry, one year; medieval and mod
srn history, one year; English history,
one-half year; American history, one
year; and civics, one-half year. The
work in American history is required
Of every student for graduation but
the other courses are elective.
Perhaps the work Of most interest
to those outside the school is that in
current events. One day a week in
the American history classes is set
aside for current events" On this
day each student reports to the class
some event of national or internation-
al interest and importance. In order
that there may be no repetition each
pupil prepares three topics although
