Mr. Nicholson was explaining to each

told this boy that it would be his duty
to write up the athletic news and to
write up a player each week, but not
to write about himself. Was he afraid
to let the young man write about him
self for fear he would exaggerate the
subject? No, it was because he knew
that the boy would never do himself

All the representatives are to be chos-

giving every one a chance to show
what is in him, and we should begin to
study and practice for all the differ
ent phases of these contests. Let's
get some life into us and carry off ev-
erything this year. We can do it. or
course, it will mean work but so does
every big accomplishment. The time
to begin is today. Rome was not
built in a day" Just because we have
taken the meet for two straight years
is no reason why we should step aside
and allow it to be taken away from us
without struggle. Let's wake up
and get busy. Shake yourselves and
get rid of that sleepy spring feeling.
In athletics, we have great num-
Der of boys able to win something
for us. We won second place last
year and we are sure of first this year
And we have as great number Of
high schol students to select the rest
of our material from as we have ever
had. Mix that with hard work and
great deal of school spirit and what
will be the result? Well, just watch
and see for yourself next April.

THE FORWARD LOOK.

at is the very essence of effective
teaching to awaken desire and evoke
purpose"
Why must teachers awaken desire
if that desire can never be fulfilled?
They must not only awaken desire,
but must give their pupils the founda-
ton of fulfilling their desire. In the
high school of today there are two
classes, of which the first is that class
Of pupils who go directly to work af-
ter their high school course. This
is by far the greater class. And then
in the second class, are those pupils
who intedn to go to other institutions
for further preparation.
In our present high school system
we are endeavoring to adopt the pro-
gram of studies to the needs of the
community life first of all and to bet
ter fit them for efficient service in that
life"
The Gary School which is a school
something on this order is attracting
much attention. Besides the academic
subjects they have the shop studies,
the studio studies, and the laboratory
studies. This school has been called
the work, study and play school, 1t
would be very fine If other schools
could acquire just half the change
that the Gary school has. What we
want in our school is course of study
that will give information concerning
the life which we shall have to con
tend with daily. We want to fit the
curriculum to the pupils, not the pa
pills to the curriculum.
This system in the secondary school
has been growing from ancient times.
The Renaissance which brought in
new learning caused the people of
that day to change their course OF
study. Then came the influence of
Aristotle who founded the fundamen
tai idea of making nature and man
the basis for the discovery of truth.
III New York City and st. Louis, Mis-
souri,, we see this spirit developing.
People are beginning to recognize
that education is much more a MAJ
ter of growth and training than i'm
parting information" The pupil must
be trained to alertness in acquiring
and comparing data, and in determin-
ing between facts ard probabilities.
Thus, we may sum up the forward
look.
THE prevailing thought is that,
while we should seek to retain all that
is really essential Of the so-called cul-
tural side of education, we must make
a place in our secondary programs
for the motor activities and for yo-
cational training.

SPRING CLEANING.

After our long winter sleep it is at
last time to wake up and begin to con
side our chances of taking off the hon
ors at the school meet this year Year
before last we began to realize that
it was about our time TO win some
thing. We went up to Vienna fully
prepared to take everything We
did it, Last year it was the same
way. only it seemed that we did not
have any too much margin over the 9th
err schools. We seemed TO be a little
short of material But we won it just
the same.
What we would like to impress on
your minds is how we won these
meets. It seems reasonable TO sup
pose that If we can find out exactly
how we won in the past we can cas-
sly win in the future The thing that
helped us most to win was school
spirit. Everybody worked for the
good of c. H. S. and lost sight Of all
their little prejudices and complaints.
We do not believe that there ever was
a school in which the entire student
body worked so diligently and har-
mopiously The pupils who had been
selected to represent the school il
different things worked very hard in
deed, and much credit is due them. but
we positively could not have carried
off first honors had it not been for the
cooperation of the school.
SO we do not think it by any means

Four Year Public High Schools.
Commissioner P. P. Claxton in his re
cent report states that SO per cent Of
the high schools are 4-year schools.
In 1916 there were 1857 pupils in
the four year high schools accredited,
and 2,2S6 of these graduated in 1916.
OF these 1,065 We're boys and 1882
were girls. In 1904-05 there were only
215 boys and BIT girls or total of 500
graduates from all the accredited
schools. The colleges had to base their
attendance of new students from
among these 502 pupils. After II
years the number of graduates had in
creased 500 per cent. This accounts
for the increase and college attend
