Length of School Day

We hear great deal Of complaint
about the length OF tho school day.
The school day is considerably longer
than II was last year. but the author
tiles try to compensate for this by
aving supervised study periods and
also by having assembly every day,
with speeches singing and ycllins,
all In their turn. IL Ia hard 10 de-
termine just what Ia the hest asd

Manual Training

one OF the most beneficial courses
offered in the school Is manual
training.
This course was introduced by
Mr.. Oberholtzer in 1919 at the be-
ginning OF his uperintendency, and

tors have had practical training In
the trades. together with their pro-
fesslonal training.
There are about four classes dur
ing the day, with an average enroll
ment OF l6. the total enrollme ent b.
ing about seventy.
Manual training benefits all stu

after graduation may take n from
a strictly educational standpoint
while those who do not 70 10 college
may take IL to learn trade.
The course In cabinetmaklng in
wolves the general principles of ioln-
cry. The entire SCOPE Of the coursn
Is 20 give the student an idea Of de.
signing furniture Tho structure of
| the wood as applied TO cabinet-mak-
ing, The wood working tools and
machinery are also studied.
Wood turning takes up the nrin-
clples of operating power driven
lathes and the proper use OF the
tools. The student first wotNs over
a series 81 exercises, each exercise
introdusing the use or new touiE
when the mastery OF these tools II

Oh Girls!

Is not the kind TO wear, one OF them
is called Watch Your Step" which
might more properly be called
Watch Your Feet" 1 can't under
stand why they even intimate that
red polka dot hose ana LACK nigh
leeled slippers are not the proper
thing for skinny girl TO wear with
u red dress. WHY not wear black
checker board hose with aopurplc n
dress and brown shoes of course,
we admit, that the heels are a little
dllapidated. bun ono can't be perfe7t
Now, what's the matter with tho rat
girl who wears black dress. shoes and
purple striped hose. with the stripes
on tho horizontal, except that shes
rat? Yes, she IL fat OF course Agnes
should not wear that fussy point lace
dress TO school and those beautiful
embroidered hose ana dan ling
pumps, but she's just IA Kid aud shell

Maybe Lizzie's hair doesn't look as
well the way she combs it ns II would
