Pro] acta in Art. Tba art work in each roan,, thia year, has been centering to some extent around a definite project. The Primary room has been interested in the Home, and the second room in Farm Life. The work in these two rooms, however, has been quite similar. In the fourth and fifth grade the Circus project has been developed in various ways, while in the fifth and sixth grade room the Indian idea has been used. The boys of the seventh and eighth grades have been making books on practical art, including a study of trees, homes, and, lately, their own monograms. The girls of these grades are making a collection of “Pictures that Talk", masterpieces of art which all should recogrize. They have also made some objects of art for the home. The high school class in art has suffered because two gills haying withdrawn from the class on account of illness. There will be an interesting exhibit, however, display- ■ ing various types of art as adapted to practical home life. It is believed that art should be not only for the student who has abiliay to draw, but should be a practical subject of value to every boy and girl. St. Patrick’s Day. A short Saint Patrick’s Day program was given on Tuesday morning. The following numbers were .piesented: “Come Back to Erin” sung by the Boys Glee Club; “When Irish Eyes Are Smiling” sung by Cecil Mae Culver and Doris Venator, who also played the Hawaiian guitar; and “Believe Me If All Those Ende.-ring Young Charms" sung by Joyce Miller, lone Swaim, Wilma Troxel, Marcella Mock, and the seventh and eighth grade girls chorus. Dramatizations The Eighth grade is writing dramatizations of “Judge Napier’s Sentence," in their literature book. They will also soon enter into an informed debate on the subject: “Should memorizing be required or be optional with the student?" Typing Contest. The typing contest has swung to the middle of the stream now, with enthusiasm high on both sides. Robert Laird’s team is ahead at present, with 79 points. Howard Wright’s team has 56 points. Helen Miller of the Laird team has won personal honors in points for her team by her large number of perfect
