Hair is a material used by the
Great Architect to thatch the human
dome of thought. 1t comes late and
leaves early, like a fashionable guest,
and does no work while it remains.
Nevertheless, it is greatly beloved,
and there is no sadder sight than
that of a man of fifty bidding good
bye to his hair.
Women wear their hair as long as
possible, and do it up in a great
variety of rolls, coils, loops, braids,
puffs, waves, waterfalls, explosions,
cascades, turrets, colonnades, wings,
apses, and flying buttresses. Men
also wear their hair as long as pos
sible, which accounts for the great
prosperity of hair tonic manufac.
turers.
Hair comes in a great many COLI
ors, including black, brown, yellow,
grey, auburn, Titan blonde and
bronze. Some very frank people also
have red hair. Red hair is noted
because of the prominence with which
it stands out on the landscape, and
the infammability which it is sup
posed to impart to the disposition.
Red-haired men are usually good
fighters, but this is because they had
plenty of practice in their youth.
Hair is affixed to the scalp in a
careless and Intellectual manner, par
ticularly in the case of man, and af-
ter adhering to it's owner for a few
decades. it usually begins TO lose its

sadly alluded to as a sign of wisdom
by a great many men, whose fore
heads sweep Ilajestically back to
their collars. AS a rule, the hair re-
treats in an orderly and dignifed
manner, but occasionally it plays a
dastardly trick by retiring from the

Hair is reduced to order by means
of a brush and a comb, by means of
which a neat furrow, called a part,

the next two years to elect work that
will have direct relation to the child s
future vocation and so function direct

the work of the junior high school

Every effort will be made to bring the
junior and senior high schools into the
closest of friendly relations and in
still in the students a spirit of loyalty
and Interest that will arouse enthus-
iasm In their work.
This year the course of studies re-
quired is History, Grammar, Arithme-
tic and Literature, in the old curricul-
um studies with the addition of wood
working for the boys and household
economy for the girls. Besides these
three electives, drawing. designing
and general science are offered. No
one is encouraged to take more than
one elective. These electives count
towards admission to the high school
and II the work is creditable will count
toward high school credit. Next year
it is planned to cut the amount of re-
Quired work and allow a larger amount
of electives.
Another new departure to allow
each student to progress as rapidly
as possible is the promotion by sub
jects and allowing the student to pro
gress even though he may fail in one
or more subjects. This may result in
some student taking work in both the
Junior and senior high schools and

this very essential branch of school
work as well as in the older branches
is greatly handicapped by the over

The need of new building for the
junior and senior high school is very
evident.
With the present year our work in
reorganization has just begun but we
hope by the beginning of next year to
have the schools so reorganized that
they will be as up to date as any in
the country. To accomplish this the
hearty cooperation OF the community
in this very worthy work is essential.

THE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL
~>>>>~>s.~~>>

The seventh and eighth grades have
junior high school. The methods of
administration of the high school and
grammar school have been very diff
ferent. In the grammar school the or
dinary custom is for one teacher to
control one room and all students are
required to take the same course of
study regardless of their needs and de
sires, will be in the high school the in
struction in each subject has been un-
der a teacher especially trained in that
subject and qualified to teach il. I'm
der this system the student spent
eight years in elementary work before
any selection or specialization was
possible. 1t also tended to set off the
grammar school and high school as a
separate institution with distinct
break between them. Unfortunately
this break came at the time when the
child passes out OF the jurisdiction of
the compulsory school laws and the
result has been that great many
children gain the impression that they
have finished school or at least have
had all they need and many drop
school at this time.
The ordinary eighth grade student
has not gained much from the school
that will be of material benefit to him
or the community that has educated
him. His education is by no means
complete even for the humblest job
he can find. He is merely drilled in
the fundamental tools that later will
enable him to study In high school and
college and so to definitely prepare
him to take his place in the commun-
ity. II is the aim of the junior high
to in part remedy this defect and to
make the schools of more practical
value to the child and to society The
program is briefly this. by intensive
methods of study and instruction and
by the elimination OF all useless ma
terial to furnish some of the tool sub
