Mr. Rx Presents the School With Fine Hoosier Cabinet APP
probation Of the Work That is Being Done for the
Young Ladies Of the Lubbock Schools

That the class in Domestic icnce
in the Lubbock schools are learning
ito do by doing" was completely
and satisfactorily demonstrated 20
representatives Of the Rotary Club,
Jr. and Sr. Chambers Of Commerce,
and the School Board Tuesday oven
ing when w S. Posey, Il. G. Dick
inson, r. l.. Douglas, j. X. Rlx, ROs-
cOe Wilson, A. b. Conley, Supt. M.
NJ. Dupre, and others were enter
tanned In the school dining parl0r by
the class members and their instruc-
tor, Miss Price.
Many interesting talks were made
BY the guests concerning the hool
work, and the Domestic Science class
was credited as having a major Part
in the development and education OF
the young ladies.
That Mr.. Rix was impressed with
the meeting Is shown IN the fact that
he presented the class with the best
HOosier Kitchen Cabinet Ia stock in
his store, and assured them that such
entertainments rs that proved that
the class commands the highest con
sideration Of the board members and
anyone else who realized the import
ance Of their work, and could see
how splendidly they were carrying Il
on
The Domestic Science class in ev-
cry school Is always more interest
ing, as a general rule, than any 9TH
or class. and the fact that these
young ladies are putting their time
on this study, other than on Latin.
which study was sidetracked TO give
time for these lessons, is believed by
Mr., Rix TO be a wise move on the
part Of the school faculty. for he has
the opinion that a good deal of
knowledge In the work in which the
largest percent Of the young ladies'
spend the majority Of their time af-
ter the school days are a thing Of the
past is more helpful 10 them than al
the Latin they might learn in a SER
les Of years.
The school board is as progressive
bunch Of men az ever manned an
institution, and their a0gressivencss
is sure TO be realized before many
months.
That the schools need better and
biRger buildings, more play grounds
and other equipment IL believed by
Mr. Rix 60 constitute a large part Of
the program for development. "Such
punis az these Of the Domestic
s ienee class deserve better Buildings
and an other equipment that they
have" he said
II a. noticeable that the pnnils Of
the present day schools are gradual
ly returning 10 a standpoint If ef-
ficicncv and greater interest in the
work than in the past few years,
when unrestricted financial condi-
tions had people everywhere believ-
ing that there was little need Of
worry about their futurc dcsfinics,
and especially are the boys and girls
coming 10 the front with their work
as no other school can boast u more
progressive programs for the years
work than they have outlined.
An annual for the school with moro
photographs, better reading natttr,
more pages and wider circulation
than in any previous issue is planned
and the publishers are now AZ work
on a pArt of H.. which, when com
pleted, will be n credit 10 the entire
school.
