and girls of the school an enthusi-
astic desire for progress mentally,
morally and physically.
The crying need of the high school
is more room and more equipment.
There are enrolled in the high school
building two hundred and seventy
three students. The building is not
large enough to accommodate this
number. Every class room is crowded
to capacity. We cannot seat the
student body in the assembly hall
even by crowding two people into
each single seat. Physical education
is being hampered by lack of gym
nasium in the school building, or on
the school grounds. Desirable broad
ening of the curriculum is impossible
because of lack of room and lack OF
proper facilities for new courses.
Many other towns of this section
of the state, having less population
and less apparent prosperity than
Montpelier, boast OF splendid up-to
date buildings. Is such an asset
impossible for Montpelier?

Manual Training Department

Manual Training is becoming an
important part of all high schools
and elementary schools in many of
the larger cities. The experimental
stage has long since passed and now
universally accepted as a necessity.
A number Of kinds of work NAV be-
included under the general term
Manual Training, such as; work in
wood, iron, sheet metal, electricity
etc. One or more of these may be
included in the curriculum.
The Montpelier High School has
given bench work in wood for a
number of years. Woodwork is per-
haps of greater general use than anv
OF tho other vocational subjects.
There is no home, but what has
use for some understanding of woods
and the use of tools to work 1t. Jobs
or repair and construction of small
articles are common about the home.
The work also has an aesthetic
value. That which is understood
best is appreciated most. Unless one
Is able to recognize different woods
and good or poor workmanship.
beauties of furniture are not seen.
Methods of construction should also
be understood. Your finest piece Of
furniture is not of much value un-
less properly constructed.
This work is given in two main
types of schools. The Trade School
proposes to teach the subject with
the idea that the student will follow
the particular line of work as a re-
munerative vocation. Upon compile

ing; and advanced work in clothing
and textiles.
We have arrived at the point in
education where mental subject are
not enough. We must think and do
together. One of the best methods
of developing the minds of youth is
the practice in coordinate activities
OF brain, hand and heart.
The Home Economics course fur
nishes training in original research
applied to the life and interests of
the family. The girls Of High School
age must learn that economic values
are human values and that the doors
OF all homes open on the highway
OF common happiness.
"Oh, little house, If thou a home
woulds't be
Teach me thy love, be all in all to
me
Show me the way to find the
charm that lies in every
humble rite and daily task
within thy walls
Then not alone for thee, but for
the universe itself,
Shall I have lived and glorified
home. Merton.

Cooperation Sought.

We greatly appreciate the support
given us by the Press of Montpelier.
We are greatful for the loyal sup
port and untiring efforts of the
Board of Education IN devising WAYS
and means SO that the schools may
be maintained at the present eff
Gent standard.
We are sure that IL the parents
would take the time to visit the
schools and become acquainted with
their children in school much good
would result there from. The edu-
cation of children requires the CO.
operative efforts of parents and chill
dren. To better accomplish this work
Parent-Teacher Association should
be organized SO that the parents
can present their views to the
teachers and at the same time get
the views OF the teachers. A meet
ing will be called in the near future
for the purpose of effecting such an
organization.
In our state, as in all states. a
large portion of the taxes go for road
building and maintaining the schools
Have you ever analysed our tax svs-
tenn and purposes for which the
money is spent? If SO you have found
that the money is spent for admins

trative purposes or as an investment.
The money spent as an investment
is so invested that the public gets
the returns.
Money spent on good roads is an
investment, the public getting the re-
turns on account of the decrease in
the expense in travel, marketing
goods, etc.
The greatest investment of tax
money is in our schools. It is an
investment in the boys and girls of
to-day, the men and women OF to-
morrow. 1t is an investment in the
development of the talents and
latent powers of our boys and girls.
Can you conceive a greater invest.

portunity is given each one to make
the most of himself. We should do
our utmost to give our boy or girl
a chance to make the most of this
opportunity.
The greatest possible achievement
to which man may aspire, is to de-
Velope talents which he possess and
then to use them in the way that
will render unto humanity the great
est possible degree of service. This
is the purpose of the investment of
taxes in our schools.
We repeat; no investment can be
for a more worthy purpose, none
can give greater returns. We will
near 100 per cent efficiency in our
investment as we near 100 percent

We solicit the loyal support, the
helpful criticism, the wise counsel of
all, for the purpose of making Mont
pelier the Educational Center of this
part OF our State.

The City Schools.

The schools of Montpelier show a
healthy growth over last year. The
average daily attendance is high be-
ing between 81 and SO per cent of
our enrolment.
The general attitude of the
teachers and most of the students
toward the school work is splendid.
We find that in the majority cases,
where a spirit of indifference is
shown, the students entered late or
they are kept out of school too often
by their parents. The time is past
when a child can be kept out OF once
or twice week and keep up with the
class.
The policy of the school is to give
that kind of training to the students
that will promote their greatest eff
ficiency. Not only is provision made
for mental and moral development
of the children but their general
health is guarded as close as possible
We greatly appreciate the sugges.
tions and aid given us by the health
officials of the city. While not hav-
Ing IA0 mOu0Fu convenience 10 give
thorough courses in physical educa-
ton provision has been made so that
all of the students of the High
School take limited amount of
work in this line.
One of the greatest handicaps of
our schools is lack of room. When
the Lincoln building was erected it
was thought by many that there
would be ample room to properly
care for the increase in enrolment
for many years. Atthe present time
each school building is crowded and
over 100 students are cared for in
the City Hall. The increase in at
tendance at the High School is about
20 per cent.

ton of the course the student is
expected to be a skilled workman in
the trade. In the other the instruc-
ion is more general and does not
aim to produce finished tradesman
The information and practice will,
however, form a foundation for spe-
cialization.
The work is given in two sections
of the eighth grade, and two classes
in the Senior High, including Farm
Mechanics which is a part of the
Hughes Agriculture. The most
commonly used tools are studied as
to their care, sharpening, assembly
and use. Simple problems are first
given which allow the entire atten-
ton to be on the proper use of the
tool. When easy use of the tools
has been acquired, increased ac-
curacy is required and work in
various forms of joints is given.
The department is greatly handi-
capped by the lack of room. At pre-
sent room twenty five by thirty
feet is occupied In this room are
located twenty-five work benches,
| a teachers desk, a general work
bench, turning lathe, saw ma
chine, tool rack, and lumber rack.
| 1t 1s also necessary to have room
for cutting up material, storing un-
finished work, etc. However efforts
are made to DO the best possible
under the circumstances and some
good work is being done.

Home Economics Department

Survey Our Empire and Behold
Our Home"-Byron.
Home Economics is the utilization
of all the sources of modern science
to improve home life.
Home making is one of the great
est of all professions. It is the
greatest In numbers and greatest in
its influence on the individual and
on society All industry is conduct
ed for the home directly or indirect
~.
The Home Economics course as
taught in the Montpelier High School
includes the following subjects:
1. Food, its selection; preparation,
planning and serving of meals.
II. Shelter, sanitation of the house
planning of tho house; decoration
and furnishing of the house and
care of the house.
III. Clothing; selection, making
and keeping in repair and laundry
work.
w. Care and training of children,
care of the baby, problems Of the
young child, and amusement for
children.
v. Hygiene and Sanitation.
vi. Care of the sick.
VII. Household management, in
Guiding systemization of housework,
expense and accounts.
The first year Home Economies
work is a study of the classification
and functions of food: purchasing
and preservation of foods; the prin-
ciples underlying their preparation;
the planning and serving of meals;
the fundamentals of good house
keeping generally; to give training
in neatness, and to develop initiative.
The second year Home Economics
work consists of the study of design
and construction of women's cloth
ing, including various kind of outer
and undergarments. 1t includes
problems embracing the fundamental
principles involved in the selection
and design of clothing; the theory
and use of color: pattern making
and clothing construction.

High School

The public high school has been
critized for being too theoretical in
its curriculum and thus serving only
that minority Of students who use
their high school courses merely to
satisfy the entrance requirements
for college. 1t is often claimed that
the vast majority of high school stu
dents never go to college after leav-
ing high school and that for these
students the high school does little
of practical value. There are other
critics who maintain that the high
school is intended to give but the
foundation of general culture and is
no place for specialization for practi-
cal pursuits. One group would make
the high school largely vocational,
while the other would have it purely
academic.
AS matter of fact the present
public high school usually steers a
middle course between these two ex-
tremes. 1t is the policy of the Mont
pelier High School to serve efficient
ly all of its patrons. We have stu
dents whose ambition and plan is to
continue their education in higher
institutions. For these the school at
tempts to offer such courses as will
meet the college entrance require
ments and qualify them to credi-
tably pursue college courses. We
have other students who contem-
plato no further school education
than their present high school
course. For these the school offers
as great a variety of vocational
courses as resources permit.
The school is not trade school,
in any sense of the word, nevertheless
our departments of commerce, man
ual training, domestic science and
art, and vocational agriculture offer
good, practical courses dealing with
the problems and conditions which
will be met in actual life and prac-
tice outside of school. We do not
pretend to turn out experts or fini-
shed workmen in any of these lines
The work does, however, lay founl
dalton for specialization II the stu
dent later decides to make any OF
these lines his life work. Our
courses are equivalent in extent and
thoroughness to those given in SINH
lar institutions. They are offered
as electives to supplement the regu-
lar academic courses prescribed by
the state for accredited high schools
The present faculty has been Sc
lected with reference to special quail
fications for the work which each
is expected to perform. 1t is the
policy of the school to give the very
best and most thorough training In
every course, academic or vocational
possible in an elementary school. At
the same time the fact that the real
task of the school is to make men
and women and good citizens is not
lost sight of Every effort is being
directed toward creating in the boys

Vocational Agricultural Dept.

An important department IN the
local school is that of vocational
agricultural education. In a word,
the purpose of this system of edu-
cation is to direct the boy in meet
ing squarely, the problems of farm
life. 1t has been found that ordinary
high schools agriculture fails TO
meet this all important need. The
average student of high school agri-
culture is fed on theory to a large
extent, with the result that he drops
back into or fails to get out of the
time honored rut of good enough, !"
the farmers most dangerous stumb-
ling block.

Commercial Department.

We do not intend that the CONNER
cial department of our high school
shall be an end to the students edu-
cation, but rather a means to that
end. There was a time not many
years ago, when our high schools
were filled with students from 16
to 20 years of age and older. They
were capable of comprehending ideas
of mature character. A commercial
course in the high school then might
have accomplished the desire to
satisfy the public's demand for a
finished product, and to give the
student hastily acquired polish.
But our high schools of to-day are
filled with youngsters. And the i'm
mature mind of the high school stu
dent cannot grasp with the correct
degree Of permanency the funda-
mental principles of complicated,
broad, business course.
Therefore in the commercial de-
partment of our high school we aim:
First, to equip the students so that
they can earn a livelihood; second,
to supply them with college entrance
credits; third, to give them the abili-
ty or means of earning their way
through the university. A student
with the knowledge of shorthand and
typewriting which he can gain in our
high school has no excuse for remain
ing out of college.
Our students in accounting are
taught the general principles of debit
and credit. They are taught to
journalize, post and take trial ba-
lance. They can intelligently analyze
financial statement. This class
works six months bookkeeping
problem, attending to all of the
minute business details of the
various transactions.
The shorthand IL students are
capable of taking dictation at the
rate of from 10 to 40 words per
minute. These students have been
trained in business English and can
set up direct and to the point
business letter, properly punctuated.
They have developed a sesse of "let-
ter balance" and have done some ex-
cellent work.
The department boasts of ~ splen-
did typeWriters and about % stu
dents are operating these machines
by the touch method. Blind-foId
tests are frequently given to test
their knowledge of the keyboard
In this work accuracy is the premium
and some of our students have 8
NET speed of 38 to AZ words 6
minute.
We prepare stenographers-b
encourage our students to let this
knowledge be a means to something
better. We have fairly warned them
that the citizen of tomorrow who
expects to enter the business world
must be broadly educated in his par
ticular line of endeavor.

Realizing the need for better
farmers, efficient production and
above all, keeping the farm boys at
home, the United States Govern
ment through the Smith-Hughes act
established vocational agricultural
education. 1t is cooperative pro-
position. Each state has a State
Board for Vocational Education
whose business it is to distribute
Government funds and supervise the
education of the farm boys in the
respective states.
The class work takes up specially
prepared subject matter in agricul-
turc. Then when not in school the
boys carry on home project work,
that is they rent or take land on
shares which is managed entirely
independent of the home farm. High
school credit is given for this home
work just the same as for class work
thus the boys get supervised agri-
cultural education throughout the
year. The teacher of agriculture who
is employed the year round super
vises the summer work. Vocational
Agricultural courses at the local
school consists of General Plant Pro-
duction, Animal Husbandry, and
Farm Mechanics.
In addition to the regular high
school work the Junior high boys
have been organized into a poultry
club. A large number of boys are
enthusiastic about the work and ex-
pect to reap profit from eggs next
year and thus supply part or all of
their up-keep and spending money.
