all the Work of the students under the
direction of Miss Hazel Woods. were
displayed in the assembly room OF
the high school ON Aultman street
The chief object OF the exhibition
was to create greater interest in the
department OF home economics and in
this there Is little doubt that 1t was
successful to a point far in excess OF
expectations, and in fact further than
can be realized at this time.
The mothers Of the students as vel
as the public in general were astound-
ed at the character OF the work 81
executed by the class of misses nov
numbering 81 and which recently
started with only IL on the roll. II
Is hoped that sufficient interest can
be created to enable those charged
with the management of the higf
school to extend the scope of the
home economics department next
year, when. according to present
plans, especial attention will be Civ
en- to cooking as well as sewing Such
q department Is Of great value and H.
education along those lines will un
doubtedly be highly appreciated b.
many young ladies in later years.
Many changes have recently bee,s
made in the county high school. which
now ranks as one of the best institu
tions OF learning in Its grade that Is
to be found in the estern country
Under the direction Of Professos
Erwine and with the sanction Of the
county board of education. one hun
dred new chairs, 40 well . new piano

with movable shelves as well a. pig
con holes for the magazines. Al
books are now being catalogued un

some of the largest and best conduct
ed libraries in the country
In the Commercial Department
great improvements are now undel
way, embracing the installation of !;
system where the students will b.
taken through a business transaction
nation. A business Office, a ban
post office and many other depari
ments are included In this line o.
work and the yonug mind while a.
work on the theory is given actun
practice which is most valuable. IN,
County High School Board is fittin,
up a suitable office where the business
of that body can be readily transacte.'
and the members can have within
easy reach such material and dat
as they may demand for the prope
conduct of their work. In the dp
partment of chemistry and physic;
many improvements and great prog
ress has been made. New cabinet.
have been ordered and 1t is expects
to soon have matters so arranges
that the instructor in charge OF thi
department can work In his offic,
while work of the students will b.
confined to the laboratory.
In the manual training departmen
the work done by the boys is highll
creditable. New tables have been IN
stalled by the hands that few
months ago could scarcely drive
nail without bending It, while th,
work which they now execute woulc
do credit to a skilled cabinet maker .
