AGRICULTURAL STUDENTS
BEING WELL TRAINED
Instruction p,' '., j Being 81 i Given in Lo-
cal schools Under the
Smith.Hughes Act

The agriculture department of the
Bemidji schools is operating under
the >Smith-Hughes act this year. From
a financial point of view this is a
big boost to the school, as the state
and federal governments pay two
thirds of the Instructors salary as
we'll as the operating expenses. Edu-
cationally it offers still greater pos
sibilities Each class devotes two
periods to subject. The double pc
riod is used for laboratory purposes
part of the time, while at other times
the extra period is use for personal
help to the pupil. Supplementary
books and bulletins are studied at
this time.
The students are encouraged to
write to various experiment stations
for bulletins.
This year the course in agricul-
ture consists Of two classes in ami
NAL husbandry, farm arithmetic,
farm machinery and general course
in eighth grade arithmetic.
The Smith-Hughes act offers a
splendid training for the student, as
his work for the year consists Of
school and laboratory exercises COM
bined with project work during the
spring and summer. Thus the class
room work is made to function with
the principal phase Of the subject. A
student in Animal Husbandry may be
interested especially in poultry. In
our work at school he has been
taught to select practical feeding ra-
tons; modern poultry houses were
visited; Stacker hens were culled from
producers; control Of lice mites and
poultry diseases were discussed. His
project for the summer would con-
sist of taking care Of flock Of chick
ems unaer th&supervision Of the in
structor.
The course in Farm Machinery Is
offered for the first time this year
1t is proving to be a popular course
The class is relying upon outside
Sources for machinery in the labor
atory work. If suitable room were
available. this department would like
10 take new n1aCHIHely' HdHulcu Oy
the various dealers in Bemidji, as
.,emble them and use them for class
room study. Dealers have invited the
pupils to help with this work this
coming spring when their new stock
arrives Gas engines will be given
a prominent place In this course.
1t is the plnrVf the department to
vigorously push The Boys and Girls
club work. Plans being formulated
at the present time on club worn for
the coming year will be announced
later.

Every Form

1t is the aim of the music depart
ment Of the Bemidji public school to
cause the children ITO know, to- love,
to appreciate music in as many forms
as possible in this way bringing ad-
ded joy into their lives, culture and
refinement to their natures. J
In the Primary grades wealth Of
appealing suitable songs are taught,
giving each child musical vocabV
lar1hwhich he does not have on en-
tering the school. Special attention
is given to the "out Of tune" singers.
The aim Of each primary teacher is
to cure all possible cases giving each
child careful attention.
In the intermediate grades the mu-
steal vocabulary is used as founda-
ton for note reading. In learning
to read the child receives training in
speedy, accurate ahythmis think
ing, with emphasis placed on indi-
vidual work.
The pupils of the Junior High
school are required to have two Choir
us periods each week. The material
chosen includes standard songs, folk
melodies, and songs of the foremost
composers of the day. A broader pa
triotism is developed by singing ma
tional songs of other countries as
we'll as our own national anthems: A
chorus of seventh grade boys has
been organized. Their first public
appearance will be December 81.
Each member of the High school
orchestra is helping to make this
year'S organization excel that Of last
year. The orchestra is becoming
more and more a real educational as
set rather than a mere social organ
ization.
Two phases of music study are Of
fered in the High school, the first,
elective chorus class; the purpose is
to develop Independent sight read
ers. The second is music apprecia-
ton; the aim is to develop intelligent
and appreciative listeners and mn-
|sic lovers. BY means of the Victrola
and analytical study of symphonies,
operas, oratcrios, etc, this is possible
Boys and girls giee clubs COM
posed Of chosen voices are active this
year in their, desire to cultivate a
love for the best music thru theSing-
ing of good songs.
