EVERYTHING IN BUILDING SUPPLIES
The retiring legislature approved
of the school aid needs for the next
two years of approximately $22,000,-
000. If this is agreed to by Gov.
Fitzgerald, and there is every reason
to believe that there will be little
change in the amount if any by the
governor, schools are assured a much
better break the next two years than
they have had for the last biennium.
With this knowledge available the
local Board of Education has been
able to do a little better next year.
Teachers who have accepted contracts for next year are as follows:
Ruth Gauss, Mary Morden, Esther
Bowen, Dorothy Hazelschwerdt, Dorothy Warner, Marie Sisson, Audrey
Pray, Glenn Knicely, Hazen Jewell,
Elizabeth Keubler and Thurman M.
Clay. In addition the new agriculture
department, which is to be introduced
this fall, is to be presided over by
Frederick W. Gettel, a specialist in
that line of work.
Mr. Gettel will have the honor of
introducing the new department to
the local community, and he promises
to be able to do so in a very fine and
efficient manner. The state supervisor, E. E. Gallup, of Lansing, says
in recommending Mr. Gettel that, "in
addition to the agriculture, he can
teach chemistry, physics, history and
economics. He has had the experience and training that fits him for
the type of agriculture in your community. He speaks German fluently.
He is a young man of good physique
and pleasing personality, well groomed and. clean in his hibits."
Miss Hornbeck, who has. worked in
the local system for three years, has
accepted a fine position in the Lansing school system. The Lansing
school seem to have a liking for the
Saline teachers, Miss Murphy having'
accepted a position there last summer. Besides others from Saline
teaching in Lansing are Misses Ruth
Aprili, Clara Schroen and Sylvia
Gross. '       .   i .
ROTARIANS ENJOY
BLOSSOM FESTIVAL
Trip    to    William    Austin    Orchard
Last Thursday Afternoon
a Keal Treat.
Rotarians had a real treat, following their weekly meeting at The
Tavern last Thursday noon. Accepting an invitation tendered by William
Austin to visit his orchard while the
trees were in full bloom, nearly all
voted to make the trip, and were
\well repaid for the effort.
Arriving at the farm they found a
big truck ready for the tour, and
with Mr. Austin's sons, Hugh and
George as operators and Mr. Austin
as guide, the party traveled up one
road and down another until they had
traversed forty acres filled with almost all varieties of bearing apple
trees, nearly, every one of which was
loaded to overflowing with blossoms,
presaging a bountiful crop this year.
Occasional stops were made so that
E. F. Henne could get good pictures
of the trees, guides and party. In
addition to the forty acres of trees
that will bear fruit this year, there
are ten acres of new orchard.
The following varieties of apples
are raised on the farm, but the list
does not include those which would
be represented by just a tree or two:
Jonathan, Wagner, Baldwin, Snow,
Wealthy, Golden Sweet, Sweet Bough,
Mcintosh, Delicious, Golden Delicious,
Shiawassee Beauty, Tompkins County
King, Duchess Oldenberg, Ontario,
Northern Spy and Grimes Golden.
The varieties of peaches on the
farm include J. H. Hale, Elberta,
Early Elberta, Fitzgerald, and Bill-
meyer, 14 acres being devoted to
them, five of which are new trees.
Mr. Austin has a wonderful spraying outfit, purchased this spring. It
is powered with a 12-horse motor
and it requires, three to operate it,
but it will spray the whole 40 acres
of trees in a day. All of the
fruit is carefully picked and sold
in the fall, the bulk of the crop being
bought by those who come with
trucks after it. Only enough for
personal use is kept through the
winter.
Willing Workers Meeting
The Willing Workers met for their
may meeting with Mrs. Raynor Scudder.
After a short business session, roll
call was responded .to by "Mother's
Day" quotations.
Miss Julia Gordon and Mrs. Ralph
Hammond were appointed delegates
to the County Federation meeting in
Ypsilanti this month.
Mrs. Lester Hanson and Mrs. Roy
Stoddard, as program committee,
presented the following:
Violin selections by Miss Irene Fitzgerald, accompanied at the piano by
lier mother, Mrs. Chauncey Fitzgerald.
Readings by Miss Julia Gordon and
Mrs. Roy Stoddard.
The club was invited to meet with
Mrs. Chauncey Fitzgerald for their
June meeting, roll call to be responded to by your favorite flower:

School Program
BACCALAUREATE SERVICES
The annual "baccalaureate services,
held at the school auditorium Sunday
evening with St. Paul's church in
charge, proved a very worth while
and enjoyable occasion not only for
the graduates in whose honor the
convocation took place but the audi-
ience too showed their splendid appreciation by wonderful attention and
respect.
Rev. Wittbracht used Exodus 14:15
in which the exhortation was made
for the Israelites, whatever was
done should continue to GO FORWARD. In his message Rev. Wittbracht repeatedly brought forth example after example for the graduates why they should by all means
never consider "resting on their
oars," inasmuch as they are completing the high school course, but GO
FORWARD. This does not mean
necessarily that each and every oney
has to go on to advanced schools,
but the process of education is a
continuing process, whether we be in
school or out. The individual who
stops the process just because he has
a high school diploma disproves the
fact that society has accepted that
he has been educated. Reading and
taking part in community activities
should be an expected duty more or
less of every high school graduate
who has accepted the aid from any
community for his schooling.
The graduates appeared in the
custom used caps and gowns, preceded by the junior class in the line
of march, who in turn were led into
the auditorium by the gown dressed
choir. The whole line of march presented quite an imposing scene. Taken in entirety and in part the annual
.event of the baccalaureate services
were very fittingly observed.
Pox Used Crow's Nest
PLAN TO MEET YOUR
FRIENDS AT THE ALUMNI
From coast to coast they gather to
meet again—friends of the years
gone by. '   .
It's a privilege beyond price to be
again with i^iose companions who
shared our glories and sorrows of
those dear old school days. Let's live
those days over—just for one night.
From the golden state of California
comes our oldest living alumni, Mrs.
Ida Shephard Oldroyd, class of 1877.
Surely if one can come three
thousand miles we should be able to
lay our daily tasks aside and be there
—let's make this the biggest homecoming week ever. In a few hours
many glorious years will be "relived."
There is nothing more reasonable
than the Saline Alumni. All we ask
is your dime's—with no catchy letters to bother with. For six thin
dimes you will receive 24,737 happy
recollections. Don't break the chain;
and bring your friends. Just think
only .0024 of a cent for each recollection. Now isn't that a better offer
than any chain you've seen? It just
can't be beat, to which I'm sure
you'll all agree, so together we'll
meet Friday evening at 7:00 to dine,
dance, sing, and enjoy a short program.

SALINE AGAIN LOSES
Washington—Birds are not the on- j

an abandoned crow's nest in a pine
tree   in   Fredericksburg   and   Spott- •

Saline was defeated Sunday by
Clinton in game that was close all
the way until near the final innings'.
The score was 7 to 4. Bowen, Hoeft
and Wanty were in the points for
Saline, Girbach and Frey for Clinton.
Sunday Saline will play Hamburg
there.
In the other league games Milan
won from Manchester, 12-4, and Dexter nosed out Hamburg in a slugging
contest,  19-13.

Agriculture   and   Kindergarten   Are

The local Board of Education, after
much study and consideration, has
adopted a plan without the addition
of, ahy» extra teachers to introduce
the Smith-Hughes program of agriculture . next, year in -ithe High
school, and the. kindergarten for the
little folks just beginning school.
The kindergarten is to be combined
with the music in the lower grades,
the teacher having one-half day for
each department. Children five years
of age September 1 or reaching five.
by January 1 will be accepted in the
new department for next year's
work. This has been adopted as a
definite policy by the Board of Education. It is very certain that many
folksr having little children who are
to become beginners will appreciate
this forward step by the local school
authorities. Kindergarten work is
considered extremely essential by
school authorities throughout tho
country, and in many places a start
is being made with the nursery
school accepting children at a still
earlier age than the kindergarten.
The new department for the High
school, agriculture according to the
Smith-Hughes program, promises to
fill a long-felt need in the school's
course of study, answering, the needs
of the many boys from the farms or
those -who are farm minded. The
Smith-Hughes law, under which this
department is set up, is a federal
law and in the course of a year or
so begins paying funds toward the
upkeep of the department after the
school demonstrates that it can carry
out the required provisions of tlie
law. Among some of the requirements are the following :*
a. A teacher for 12 months, having a Bachelor of Science degree, a
life certificate and a special Smith-
Hughes certificate.
b. A course oi study teaching biology, farm crops, animal husbandry
and agricultural economics.
c. A group of not less than i2
students carrying on actual farm
projects putting into actual practice
the work learned in school.
The controlling purpose in vocational agriculture is to prepare the
student for efficient farming, intelligent participation in the affairs
of the agricultural group, and his
functioning as a desirable American
citizen. Carried out efficiently the
course of study gives excellent preparation for the college of agriculture
and for colleges not requiring foreign
languages for entrance.
Since modern agriculture is an application of the biological sciences,
the physical sciences, and the sociai
sciences, and since the farmer of the
future must be skilled in the use oi
the mother tongue, elementary mathematics, accounting and mechanics,
much of the organization of a good
high school may be utilized. The
farmers' very immediate concern in
plant production, animal production
and the successful marketing of
these products makes it imperative
that the student of vocational agriculture shall be trained in,farm sanitation and hygiene, plant and animal
diseases, insect pests and their control, good roads, markets and marketing. All this means a thorough
training in the biological, physical,
and social sciences and a new application of the same.
Other high schools in the vicinity
said to have agriculture work are
Ypsilanti, Milan, Lincoln, Clinton,
Manchester, Chelsea, etc. So the
work is not new exactly, but lias
been<*fully proven and demonstrated
in some hundreds of schools throughout the state.
