Lesson in Observation

Lesson In observation
Instead of reciting in their regu-
lar class room, the agriculture boys
were taken by Mr.. Young to the
Brown-Manly Plow factory Wednes-
day afternoon. AS plows, harrows,
|etc., are implements common to
practical agriculture, it was highly
instructive to see how these were
made. Wednesday they saw the
manner of molding these imple-
ments. This is only one of several
lsucb trips for object lessons, and we
feel certain that it would be OF val
ue to any one to visit such a well
known factory as the Brown-Manly.

Art Exhibit Coming (ImpOrtant)
The school has just scheduled
something new and of no doubt very
great value to the school as whole
and also to the towns people. An art
exhibition. 1t will be held In the
high school auditorium latter part
of February or first of March. Too
little attention has been given to
art in the past and few people real
ize the place that art has In the real
education Of a person. This exhibit
will contain two or three hundred
pictures all masterpieces by the
worlds greatest artists, both living
and dead. Few schools Of our size
have been able to secure this exhibit
it being devoted to the larger
schools throughout the country.
This art exhibit has been established
permanently in the larger schools
and it's real value, is just being real
lied. These pictures of course are
not the original productions, but
very good and exact copies. The
paintings consist of the Egyptian
art, Greek and Roman architecture,
Italian paintings, Dutch and Flem-
ish painting, French painting, Ger
man painting, English and Spanish
painting as we'll as American mas
terpieces. Some to be noted in re-
gard to American history are The
Minute Man, by French; Abraham
Lincoln, by Saint Gaudens; Wash
ington Crossing the Delaware, by
Leutze. Some of the more ancient
masterpieces are Tell Statute, by
Kissling; Sunset, by Inness; The
Coming of the White Man, by Reid;
King Arthur, by Vischer; Moses, by
Michael Angelo; Dawn, by Eggle-
ston; Mona Lisa, by Leonardo da
Vinci; A dash for Timber, by Rem
ington; Cleaners, by Millet: Horses
of Achilles, by Regnault. 1t would
be impossible to name nearly all OF
the wonderful paintings. The names
of a few of the artists will suffice to
show that it is a extraordinary ex-
hibit. Reynolds, Van Dyke, Miller,
Rembrant, Regnault, Guido REM
Murillo, Turner and many others.
This exhibit affords everyone
chance to see the works of the
greatest artists of the world for
past generations. Also these paint
ings will be for sale at reasonable
prices if one desires to buy any of
them.

Girls Team Wins from ROseville
The girls basket ball team of
Roseville Hi played our local high
school quintet Friday night in the
armory, losing by a score of 2 to IA.
The local girls made fine show
ing, and we are justified in having
hopes for a successful season. We
should even be proud of the fact
that we have girls team that can
meet and hold its own with foreign
teams; for this is the first time since
1915 that an out of town team has
been played by our high school
team.
The visiting team did not show up
very well, and their only goal was
made in the second half by Tunder-
by, as a result of Trotter's clever
