If the discipline of the schools is supported in the homes, if the parents co-operate in a personal way, if the community values and honors and supports its teachers, their‘ power to attain results is greatly in creased—Editor, 1 HIGH SCHOOL We desire to call attention to the Commercial course which is now be ing offered in our High School, Stu dents of the Tenth and Eleventh grade! are permitted to elect enough work in this department each year to en able them to receive a commercial diploma at the end of the second year, Work in this department is restricted to these grades because much more satisfactory work can be done when the student has a good foundation 4ipon which to build, In addition to the regular High school students, we have a number of students who are taking the regular commercial course, No restriction is placed upon thcsc‘ students except that they have suffi cient preparation to enable them to do the work satisfactorily, It is not at all necessary for any of our boys or girls to go to a regular business college and any who are thinking of doing so, should investigate the work we are doing before matriculating else where, We are now giving a stand ard course of study with a curriculum equal to any business college in the South. Arrangements are being made to make this department a member of accred ited business schools and we have al ‘rcady arranged to register this depart ’mcnt with the New York office, giv ing our students free titerature and test material monthly, allowing them to enter all contests given out from that office in typewriting, At the end of the term the books of the bpookkeeping students will be examined and all students mecting the requirements will receive a pro ficiency certificate from the author of the text they are now studying, In the shorthand department students will be forced to meet the require ments of a stenographer or commer cial teacher before being allowed to graduate, The work done in this department doesnot weaken the regular High‘ School work but strengthens ig, giv ing those students who wish to take a course in the school ot commerce of any of our colleges or universities an opportunity to prepare for that work, It also gives those who expect to enter the business world an oppor tunity to remain at home and at the same time complete their preparation, FIRST WARD SCHOOL Though the First Ward School has not been heard from lately we are still moving along as Bre'r Terrapin did, “Slow but Sure”, The three R's “Readin’ Ritin® and Rithmetic” are being thoroughly drilled through the beginners, With our work we com bine a little fun, for in each room you will find some spirit of Halloween, There have not been many visitors so we wish to extend to all an invi tation to visit us at any time, SECOND WARD SCHOOL The second ward school has begun work on flower beds for spring bloom ing, We are planting narcissi, hya cynths, jonquils and sweet peas, We intend also to plant some trees and other foliage which has been promised by ladies interested in the work, The children and teachers will do the work as far as possible.

Is it not reasonable to assume that when such artists as Liszt, Mary Gakden, P. S.
