Each pupil in the Community Civics classes is required to investigate and report to his class on some subject of common interest. E. E. Rice and Harriett Thompson are the instructors of the subject at Garfield, and Anna Wilson is in charge of the work at Dennis school.

The Ideal Small Grand , For generations the musical superiority and the beauty of the grand piano have been the envy of all piano owners. But the size of the grand was prohibitive for the average home; its cost put it beyond the reach of families of moderate means. In the Lyon & Healy Apartment Grand these difficulties are wholly overcome. Here is an instrument of rare beauty that occupies but little more space than an upright. Its exquisite voice "sings beneath the fingers." In the Junior Unfolding Pedal, the Candelectra, and the Silento, it has important exclusive advantages. At $900 the Apartment Grand costs little ' more than a good upright. And its presence in the home will be an ever-new source of joy. Washburn Uprights and Players This group in our display is one of especial " interest. As a thoroughly dependable piano at a popular price, the Washburn has won world-wide recognition. Lyon & Healy-made and equipped with the Junior Unfolding TwoLevel Pedal, it is a piano you may be proud to have in your home. As compared with other instruments of similar worth, you enjoy a very substantial saving in the purchase of a Wash burn upright at $370, or a player at $590. Fully guaranteed.
