Miss SandberQ
Miss DoremuS

Latin is language used by the
people Of Latium, division of Italy.
Latin, like every other language,
changes in the course OF centuries,
so that the Latin which is studied at
the present time Is the language used
about two thousand years ago. This
has been chosen as the correct Latin
because the language was at its best
and the time was called the Golden
Age of the Roman letters.
More han one-half the words In
the English language are Latin. This
is because in 1866 William the Con-
queror invaded England with an army
Of Normans, who spoke French and
the French is descended from Latin,
so the Normans played q great part
in the formation of the English Ian
guage. The large percentage OF Lat
in words in the English language is
due also to the fact that with every
new scientific discovery new terms,
of Latin derivation are added.
There are four years Of Latin taught
in the High School, In the first year
q thorough study of the Grammar IS
made. The second year Caesar and
sentence structure are taken up. Tho
following year Cicero, together with
sentence structure are studied aud
the last year Virgil and sentence
structure are studied.
In q more advanced study Of Latin
q better idea Of the Roman people,
government, mythology and history is
obtained and this gives the student a
better view into history.
Latin is studied because it is neces-
sary to have-a knowledge Of Latin in
the learned professions, as in law.
medicine and engineering, to success
fully interpret the scientific and tech
meal terms.
The study Of Latin is the most ef-
fective means OF strengthening the
mind and one gets more exact and
effective use and a better idea of the
structure of our language. 1t also lays
an excellent foundation for all gram

mar High School consists Of biology,
chemistry and physics. Three rooms
on the lower floor are devoted to these
subjects. On the north is the physics
laboratory, which has just been pro-
vided with beautiful new tables made
by the Willmar Sash and Door Fac
tory. Besides these there are two
tables which have been in use right
along, so that now class of twenty
four can be accommodated very nice
ly. The whole length Of the east wall
is a cupboard for holding the neces-
sary apparatus. Doctors Frost and
Jacobs donated a static machine which
also has the X-Ray Accomplishments.
The chemistry laboratory is on tho
south end of the building. The room
also has large cupboard for keeping
chemicals and chemical apparatus.
There are three long tables and room
for eight pupils to work at each table.
The class works by twos and each
pupil is provided with an outfit Of
smaller apparatus besides larger piec-
es which the class uses as a whole.
In one corner is small hood, altho
efficient, there is room for improve
ment. A large supply table has re-
Gently been put in making it easier to
find the required chemicals.
Between the physics and chemistry
laboratories is the Freshman science
classroom. This is provided with two
long tables cut at an angle so that
the light can reach the one who Is
working the farthest away from the
windows as we'll as the one who is
near. Each one is provided with a
proper dissecting outfit besides which
the class has one large compound tele-
scope for more accurate work. Dur
ing the preceding years this room has
been used as a recitation room, but
is now devoted entirely to Freshman
science. Last fall blackboards were
fastened on the two sides of the room
and this has added much to the con-
venience Of the pupils and teacher.
Biology consists of animal, plant
and human life. Man has learned that
the first requisite to success is good
health and consequently he is spend
ing more time on this subject than
heretofore. Zoology is taught the

SWEDISH
Miss Sandberg

In the fall Of 1912 the department
of Swedish was established in the
Willmar High School. This was of
great advantage to the city as so many
of it's inhabitants are Scandinavian
and naturally wish their children to
speak and write Swedish. Not only
Swedish speaking students take this
language but also incorporating pupils
have studied this subject and found
It both advantageous and interesting.
With pleasure we note that this
years classes in both grammar and
literature are larger than any of the
preceding classes.
The class in Swedish Grammar has
studied the grammar thoroughly and
in addition read two books, namely,
EN- Herrgardesagen, and "Valda Ber-
attelser" Here, work in diction, con-
versation and short theme writing Is
given.
The work covered by the literature
class is a study Of the works Of the
best authors, Tegner's "Fritiofs Saga"
Runeberg's Fanrik Stalls Sagner;"
Wallins, "D0dens Angel" and Strind-
berg's, Master Olof," have been read
and studied carefully this year. The
recitations are conducted In Swedish.
The Swedish people have had very
Interesting life from the earliest times
to the present day. When civiliza.
ton was brought into the land and
accepted by the people, they gave to
the world a most beautiful and strong
language Thru this language we have
received q literature which ranks
among the best of the world.

ciples may be applied in cutting pat
terms of garments. Solid Geometry
is taken up in much the same way.
Here also we learn the relation of diff.
ferent solids to crystals in nature. It
makes life more enjoyable since we
appreciate the harmony in which ev-
erything has been created.
Both elementary and higher algebra
are taught in the Willmar High
School. Elementary Algebra consists
of learning various types of formulas,
and solving them. In Higher Algebra
we make application of what we have
learned in elementary Algebra and a

are not only studying an interesting
subject but one Of practical use.
Chemistry is q nine months sub
ject, and takes up two regular PERIODS
in which during the first period the
lessons assigned in the book are re-
cited while the second is spent in the
laboratory. This is broad and COM
plicated study. It deals with the pro-
pertdes of matter (color, taste, etc.,,
changes which affect the composition
of matter, numerous laws and theories
and the manufacture of a great mum.

ACRI-
e. L. Rodegeb

The study of agriculture was taken
up as a subject in the Willmar high
school several years ago.
Mr.. McNelly was the first instruc-
tor. He taught here two years, and
by this time had developed great in
terest among the students and also
the citizens of Willmar, in regard to
the teaching of agriculture. Mr.. Nc
Nelly was very much interested in
all forms Of agriculture development,
and was himself a poultry fancier.
Our next teacher was Mr.. Vented,
who laid special emphasis on labor
atory work and often took the classes
out on the school farm and let the p1l-
pills see the things that they had stud
led about.
Mr.. Rodegeb, our present teacher,
does not only work among the pupils,
but visits with the farmers in the
county, learns their style of farming,
the crops they raise, becomes ac-
Quainted with the soil conditions, and
then teaches it to his pupils. In this
way the pupils can study with condi-
tions that they are used to.
The study of agriculture In the Will
mar high school is given in two years.
The first year is devoted to the study
of field crops and some time is spent
on soils. The second year is devotsd
to the study Of Animal Husbandry.
In the first years study, one learns
of the different small grains, forage
crops, and the soil. This year trips
have been made to the C. o. Bergquist
and Charlie Johnson farms. These
trips are very interesting to the p.-
pills. In the former place, we studied
the arrangement of the farm build
ings, the silos, the modern method f
running things and the general lay Of
the farm.
At Johnson's corn field, tests were
made to procure the per cent standard
and to see how many ears Of con
grew on an average stalk. The roots
of the corn we're also studied and ec-
amined. Later on we picked seed corn
from the same field, to become &C.
quainted with the method of picking,
and what corn and when to pick.
Some time afterwards we were each
asked to bring ten ears of corn, to he
tested for seed. We tested the corn
for its per cent cob and its per cent
kernels on an ear. We also judged
the different collections and found
which was the best. After finishing
the study of corn, we studied thu
other grains, forage crops, etc. Then
we commenced on the hardest part
of the study, that of the soil
The Animal Husbandry class have
been studying horses, cattle, hogs and
poultry. In the study Of these, they
have laid special emphasis on the
best ways of feeding them and what
to feed them. They also have spent
a long time on the proper housing and
care of poultry. During the week that
