 A Quartet, of Course
 The Homeland Quartet will furnish the entertainment on January s. Their singing is an artistic combination of popular and classic music. and they have a purposeful program. Patriotic choruses, a dash of the better sort of late popular airs, and the never-tiring songs of the campus make up their work.

 What The Girls Enjoy.
 Miss Mary Gaden has charge of the domestic science and art She is a Kansas State College product. and in addition to graduate work there she has done similar work at the Stout Institute and at California. From the girls point of view. Miss Gaden's de- partment is the most practical in the school Her freshmen take up all sorts of elementary sewing, includ- ing darning-a fact which should ever keep Bisbee High school girls in big demand on the matrimonial marketi Her sophmores make fancy blouses and fancy "unmentionables;" while her juniors take up single and double tatting and French embroidery. They also make afternoon gowns. Fer seniors make silk and woolen dresses; i; petticoats, with hats to match; grad nation gowns, and more of the elab- crate 'what-you-may-c Dur ing all this work these girls are also studying the fine are of mastering the way to a mans heart" legrning how to prepare everything from a war time luncheon for three 10 a big league banquet
 Manual Training.
 The boys are given practical instruc- ton in manual training by F. G. Linn precht, a University Of Colorado graC- uate, and Harry Crockett. a Stout h. stitute man. It is of interest Go note, in passing. that the High School has a perfectly equipped shop. The lat est machines. lathes, and drills are worked daily by young fellows-many of them, doubtless. having parents who think them idling away their time coniugating Sanskr!t verbs, There is in addition complete forge in con nection with this departme eut.

Hariett Bartlett, of the commercial department, is a graduate of Cobra do College.
 Military Science and Tactics is a brancha of work which has just been intrduced in the High school, and il is in charge of Captain Kopf, a Universi ty of Illinois man. This work is com. pulsory, and in adopting it Bisbee is simply following the general trend Oi the times. The rudiments of a mili- tary education are now being taught in almost every school in the country The schools which are not making some efforts along this line of educa- ton are guilty of moral treason to the nation.
 1 Graduates Recognized. l The recognitions given graduates of the High school have been flatter- ing. Michigan, Minnesota, Wiscon- sin, Chicago. Northwestern, Purdue, Western Reserve, Illinois, Kansas, Oregon, California, Arizona, and a number of other universities accept graduates upon their credentials and without entrance examinations The percentage of graduates who have en- tered upon higher educational work is comparatively large.
 Variety of Courses.
 The unusual variety of choice and election in the groups of courses in the High schools affords opportunities seldom found except in schools which are much larger. The curricula falls into six general groups: Q) General, (2) Liberal Arts Preparatory, (3) En- gineering Preparatory. (4 Manual Training, (5) Domestic and Art, and (6) Bssiness Courses. The second and third groups prepare more direct ly for college than any of the others, although each is sufficiently flexible that it may be made college prepara- tory by the exercise of proper guid- ance.
 A Division.
 The division of the school work into junior and senior high schools, which will take place in a few more months, will raise the standards already at tained and give Bisbee a system of specialized training for its youth. Such differentiation will make for greater efficiency. and for a more req sonable college and vocational prepa- ration. The three junior high schools are nearing completion; one at To- well, enc at Warren, and one in Bis bee. The latter will have a cafeteria where the students can secure their lunches at minimum cost The work in these three buildings will comprise the work of the seventh, eighth. and ninth grades. The High school will then limit itself to the tenth, eleventh. and twelfth grade studies.
 Twelve Month Sessions.
 The first of July all the grade schools started year round courses that is, classes are now conducted during twelve months of the year in- stead of nine. The High School goes on this basis the first of January. The advantage of such a course is obvious The High School course can be com pleted in three years in place of four,

Oratory

In April comes Thomas Brooks Fletcher. It is the common consent Of the critics of the Lyceum Tldtform that no man Of recent years has achieved more brilliant success or met with higher favor in the estimation of lecture course patrons than has Ttomas Brooks Fletcher.
 At first it was feared by some that Fletcher's success was almos; too great-that he would be like bril- liant meteor to illumine the Lyceum world but for a time; that he would not last. But such fears have been transformed into wonder and admira- tions as they have seen this accom- plished young orator with steadiast and indomitable purpose equal to the mighty task of proving himself one Of the most brilliant and brainy men of the great Lyceum profession.
