Cha2,y has about eight hundred inhabitants and is in the midst of a charming agricultural region. In July, 1609, Samuel de Champlain discovered the beautiful lake and valley to which he gave his name. The first settlement established in this valley was called Fort St. Anne, built in 1665 by the French Government on Isle la Motte, about four miles from the site of Chaz,y. Lieutenant de Chaz,y, an officer of the French Army at this fort, was ambushed and killed by the Mohawk Indians in 1666 at the mouth of the stream which was afterwards named Chaziy River in his memory. This circumstance also determined the name given to Cha2,y Village. John La Frombois, a native of Canada, was the first settler of Cha2,y, in 1763. m Six Central Jlural School ^ N 1916 a consolidation of eleven rural schools was / effected, one of which was located in the village of Chaz,y and the others within a five-mile radius thereof The purpose of this plan was to give to the children of the community all educational advantages to be obtained in any city school system. With this end in view a building, modern in every particular and beautiful in all details was erected and opened for use November 14, 1916. The school maintains an elementary department consisting of the eight grades, a four-year high school course, and the following special departments: Agriculture, Industrial Arts, Household Arts, Library, Drawing, Music, and Physical Training. The children have also the advantage of expert medical and dental service without charge. ii< \ \v'*\v September 6th, Labor Day September 7th, School Opens October lath, Columbus Day November 25th'26th, Thanksgiving Recess December ajrd, School Closes for Christmas Recess January loth, School Opens February 22nd, Washington's Birthday March 25th, School Closes for Easter Recess April 4th, School Opens May 30th, Memorial Day June 17th, School Closes September 6th, School Opens Eight 'NU W- ■' ;"it >wn!]i ii iiiij wmmM ^ Office of the Principal arc/ U.Sahtn J nneLDal Tine LD a I j/ltnois State}(omial u/iiOers//tj.

The work of each of the four years is characteri2,ed by special attention to certain features. In the first year, accuracy of expression and the cultivation of habits of using correct English are emphasi2;ed. In the work of the second year, the purpose is to secure clearness of expression. Emphasis is placed on expository writing. The literature aims to enlarge the power of appreciation. The purpose of the third year is to gain greater clearness and fluency in expression. While themes of various kinds are required, description is emphasized. The literature used is intended to create and to strengthen worthy ideals. In the fourth year, the work is intensified. It is character' i2,ed by analytical study of literature, by a general survey of its history, and by emphasis on argumentation. Twenty-two Throughout the first three years, grammar is studied with a view to correcting and clarifying word relations and uses. During the fiDur years, drill in oral expression is given to tram the students to pronounce accurately, to enunciate clearly, and to take part with credit in school activities. Tui^nty-tKree HE history curriculum includes courses in the develop- ment of early and modern Europe and America. Classes in European history are open to second and third year students, while seniors are required to study the achievements of our own country. The purpose of these courses is to show the progress of the world along social, industrial, and political lines. Biography, pictures, and lantern slides are used to emphasi2,e significant events. Whenever it is possible, examination of source material is encouraged in order that historical accuracy may be secured. It is also the aim to develop independent thought and to stimulate a love for history and for the literature of history. The civil government class is open to first and second year pupils. Especial attention is devoted to the cultivation of a sense of obligation to the community. The class is usually organized as a democracy, and thus each member gains aciual practice in dealing with problems which arise in every self'governing group. This quickens the spirit of social cooperation and encourages civic pride. The children are also taught to comprehend clearly the fundamental importance of the Constitution of the United States, established by the forefathers as a bulwark against class legislation which even now so seriously threatens the precious liberty handed down to us by the wise and sincerely patriotic founders of our Republic. :<( )m )m. u m.''. )j"ij. wu yru. wm wu. w,.'. wv. ) ri.i: yu"u ]n{ ).m. )4"it.. tm wu yx ia > w;( )nr)'MX )'tow ik^w. ni'u yin-j )k.< )M( ij^^ji ' Twenty-fouT Twenty-Jive >^-> ATIN is an elective in the high school course for all / _ students except those desiring to pursue a College Preparatory Course. It is the aim of the department to give the pupils an understanding of the essential and enduring base which Latin affords to the English language; to make Latin serve as a starting point for other language study; to provide that true breadth of view gained from historical perspective; and to afford a glimpse of the remarkable vigor, precision, and grandeur of Roman literature. y renc h Cyi FOUR' YEAR Course in French is offered as an elective hi for all students except those preparing for college, and *^ ^ as a ready command of spoken French is one purpose of the course, the class work is conducted from the beginning in French. The students are encouraged in recitation and by participation in assembly programs and plays to use the new language readily and fluently. Selections from classical and modern periods of French Uterature are read. In this way students are led to appreciate the political and artistic achievements as well as the social ideals of the French people. T«;ent>-six Twenty-sei'en W f^^r^ HE Students in this department are carefully trained to I C. f~ use the three mathematical precepts: the graph, the 1 ^^ formula, and the equation; to verify every result; to make practical application of theory; and to adopt accuracy as their ideal. Elementary algebra and plane geometry are required of all except special students. In the former study, definite thinking is impressed both in problem work and in algebraic representa- tion of arithmetical processes. In the latter study, deductive reasoning and analysis of problems tend to make the pupil less dependent upon his text'book, and to develop original thinking and recognition of the fact that the laws underlying geometrical problems are operative in every line of work. A course in practical arithmetic is given twice a year. The subject matter varies from year to year, for the laboratory method is used during part of the course, and each student completes as much -work along the line of his individual need or interest as may be possible. This course is correlated with agriculture, manual training, science, and household arts. Courses in intermediate algebra, solid geometry, and trigonometry are given for students who need them for college entrance or who wish to continue along mathematical lines. In these studies, higher degrees of performance, a better command of the English language, and a more intelligent grasp of the theory of mathematics are demanded. Ak-a\ Twenty-eigKt Twenty-nine '^".-^ HE Science Department offers four courses: Biology, ^ / Physical Geography, Physics, and Chemistry. In each ' science four periods of forty-five minutes per week are devoted to qui2,z,es, discussions, and demonstrations. One ninety- minute period per week is spent in drawing from specimens, in map work, in short field trips, or in making experiments in the laboratory, which is equipped with the best physical and chemical apparatus. The purpose of the course in biology is to familiariz,e the student with the essential functions of plants and animals, and to teach the relation existing between them, especially between bacteria and man. With this end in view much attention is paid to civic biology. The vicinity of Cha^y furnishes excellent opportunity for the students to examine rock structure and the results of glacial adtion. The course in physical geography is devoted to analysis of the physical phenomena of land, water, and air, and to learning as much as possible regarding their causality. The object of the course in physics is to familiariz^e the student with the practical application of the machinery used in every- day life, and the mechanical devices found in modern homes. The light, heat, and power department of the school affords ample opportunity for studying machinery in actual operation. The aim of the course in chemistry is to acquaint the student with illustrations of chemical laws and their industrial applica- tion, and to stimulate scientific thinking. Special emphasis is placed upon the chemistry of the farm and of the home.

Credit of seven and a half counts is given for each year's work. Before a pupil is enrolled in the course, the conditions are thoroughly explained to him and to his parents and a definite understanding is reached concerning the opportunities for carrying on the projed;. ^ TKirt:y-tu'0 Thirty-three ^-—^ RAWING begins in the first grade and is given as one t ^1 J of the required subjects throughout the eight grades. [iy^fe^-j j In the high school department it is elective. The time devoted to drawing averages three half-hour periods a week during the school year. In each phase of the art work, there is a definite progression from the first grade through the grammar grades and the high school. As often as is practical the problems are adapted to the needs of rural life. The pupil is encouraged in the desire to beautify home surroundings and to exercise taste in the matter of personal appearance. The course of study is based upon the idea that the cultivation of critical judgment and of a sense of the beautiful is possible for every child, while the ability to represent things skilfully is limited to a few. Although individual talent is frequently found and properly encouraged, representation is given its place as a means to an end rather than an end in itself Originality of expression is developed through the adaptation of beautiful form and simple color harmonies to the making and decorating of objects for everyday use. One great painting is studied each month in every grade, so that by the end of each school year the child is acquainted with ten more of the world's masterpieces. h^n^ ~i I .^ ; H u 1 1 1 .

HE Household Arts Department offers to the high (^ I school girl a four'year course leading to an academic f^ diploma in Homemaking. This course also serves as training for many vocations. Each course covers five lab- oratory periods of ninety minutes per week for one half year. The general purpose of the work is to encourage the girl to prepare herself for self-support by an occupation growing out of her school training, and to become a better wife and homemaker.

These grade courses in Foods aim to teach nutritive values, to develop corred: food selections, and to give experience in the attractive and wholesome preparation of those foods essential to good health. By the time the girl has finished the eighth grade Clothing course, she is able to make simple garments, to patch and darn, and has some knowledge of cotton materials. ^^m Thirty-six Thirty-seven industrial ^rts T^^^ HE course in Industrial Arts starts with the elementary work in the sixth grade, and is continued through the seventh and eighth grades and the four years of high school, leading to a vocational diploma. The grade course consists of ninety minutes per week for each class, and covers elementary mechanical drawing and work in wood and metal. The purpose of this practice is to coordinate eye and hand, to train the judgment, and to give experience which will be valuable to the student in his choice of work in high school. Thiny-eiRht ^^ The high school course offers instrudtion in mechanical drawing, joinery, and machine-shop practice. Four double periods per week each year are devoted to this work, which is closely correlated with the needs of a rural community. The aim is to develop the power of visuali2,ation and constructive imagination, to strengthen self-dependence, and to stimulate respect for manual labor and dignify it by the application of intelligent thought. The w^ork is made so practical that it is of assistance to the students as prevocational training. nna Thirty-nine Forty Forty-one Fnrty-tU'O ,,j m ij\' Forty-fivi; HYSICAL Education is a required subjedt from the first grade through the high rfiiMiiiii school. Beginning with the second grade the boys and girls are separated for all floor work. All facilities such as gymnasiums, pools, sho'wer' rooms, and lockers are duplicated so that an entire grade may take this work at the same time. Four two'minute relaxation drills are given in the classrooms daily under the direction of the department. Each class has two periods per week of graded gymnastics in the gymnasiums and one period in the swimming pools. Bronze Statue in Boys' Swimming Pool, by John L. Rea.

The work with boys prepares them for the duties of virile citi2,enship. The gymnasium activities and outdoor recreation are planned to produce an active mind and a sound body. The purpose of the work with the girls is to secure poise, self-confidence, and grace. Good manners, thoughtfulness for the rights of others, and a healthful delight in bodily activity are stimulated through games, folk dances, and graded floor exercises.

It cooperates with every department in the school and IS constantly increasing in size to meet the requirements of teachers and pupils. The Reading and Reference room, open each school day from 8:00 A. M. until 4:00 P. M., is equipped with a professional library for the teachers, an adequate refer- ence collection for upper grade and high school use, current maga2,ines of general and departmental interest, and a carefully seledted elementary library. Material aid is given in the preparation of reading-lists and in the provision of slides, pictures, and clippings, as well as books, to supplement the work of the classroom. A special collection of medical reference books is provided for the use of the school physician, nurse, and dentist. Library periods for all grades are considered a part of the regular school curriculum, each grade spending an entire period weekly in the library. Children in the first two grades come in small groups to a special table provided with attractive editions of picture-books and primers. Here they learn some- thing of the social atmosphere of a library and the proper handling of books. All other grade pupils may obtain one book each week for home reading, and special attention is given to the proper selection of these books. Fi/tj ^^™^™™™™™™SS5^™^^^^^^^Ii]Si^^g^f^ Fifty-one d' Jyfedical vepartmeni HE object of medical inspection is to safeguard the children from disease, and to render them healthier, happier, and more vigorous. Once during the school year each child is given a thorough medical examination, and a record is kept of height, weight, and defers, together with a history of any communicable disease. In the foUow'up work, defed;s are brought to the notice of the parents, with explanation of the need and advisability of correction. Classroom insped;ions for cleanliness are often made and talks on personal hygiene are frequently given. Monthly height and weight records are kept in each classroom, with the normal weight for each child indicated thereon. Children who are under weight are encouraged to observe health laws which will aid them in reaching the normal mark. Malnutrition classes are held and each child who is ten per cent below normal weight is given a glass of milk and two graham flour biscuits at io:oo A. M. and at 2:00 P. M. Weekly records are kept and decided gains are usually noted. In the year of 1919 over seventeen hundred cases were given attention for minor ailments by the school doctor or nurse. Thirtytwo students underwent surgical operations for defedts, and eleven students were fitted with glasses. Fi/tv-tii'o Fifty-three Dental Vepartment ^ - y *' HE Dentist has a perfectly equipped office and laboratory, ^ / including an X'ray machine which is used for the Medical *^ Department as well as for the Dental Department. The primary objed; of the dental supervision is to anticipate decay and diseased conditions and thus maintain clean, healthy teeth. The teachers and the nurse daily train the children regarding the necessity and proper use of the tooth'brush, and the dentist cooperates in this work by frequent visits to the classrooms to impress upon the children the urgent need for dental prophylaxis. The dentist also performs the necessary dental treatment at the chair, and each year approximately five hundred children receive the benefit of his services. Fifty-four t; ONCE each week the teachers and the children meet in the auditorium for a general assembly lasting about forty-five minutes. The exercises consist of a processional of all the students, pre ceded by ushers bearing American flags, while a march is played by the senior orchestra. This is followed by assembly singing with pipc'organ accompaniment, short programs conceived and produced by every grade and department in the school, and by a short educational motion picture. This dignified meeting of all the classes, where each student gives courteous attention to the work of his fellows, fosters the right kind of school spirit — one of real democracy. % Fifty-five ,.^^ innn ii ! duemng Courses i-rriJ,!' O the adults of the community are offered evening courses in Americanization, civic welfare, agriculture, household arts, and physical training. A community choral society has been organi2,ed and trained in the singing of good music. Lectures on absorbing topics of the times are delivered by dis' tinguished men and v^omen. Concerts are frequently given by musicians of note. The best of motion pictures are shown in the auditorium m conjundion with pipe-organ concerts. Thus the Cha2;y Central Rural School is not only an educational institution— It is also a community center for the development and enjoyment of those thoughts and adtivities that are the wellsprings of the highest American citizenship. i^nfi: Fifty-six Fifty-seven M^^^^M ■^1^'- j\{pnthly Concert of the S-flgh School (jlee Gluhs C/iOen In CoUaboratLon with the drench T)epartment o/iprd 20-igzi frttgram Vocal Au Clair de la Lune] Frere Jacques Dame Tartine GIRLS' GLEE CLUB Piano Scarf Dance Vocal Le Cor lONE DRESSIN JOSEPH BROWN French Folk Songs Chaminade de Vigny - Flegier Violin Berceuse de "Jocelyn" HUBERT POQUETTE Vocal Soldiers' Chorus- "Faust" BOYS' GLEE CLUB Instrumental Old Time Dance Melody HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA Reading Trois Anecdotes HECTORINE POISSANT Vocal Gypsy Song from "Carmen" Softly My Heart Unfolds from "Samson and Delilah" GIRLS' GLEE CLUB Godard Gounod Desmarets Benoist Bizct Saint' Saens ^i|iiiiii|iiiiii'iiiiiii|iiiiniii!niiiniiiiii[ij'MRi ii piiiijiiiii[|iiiiiiijijiii[ih^^ "i'j i " i "^ |' Fifty-eight ■■E of the Chazy Central J\L(ral School Orchestras olph poissant Raff Marche MiHtaire SENIOR ORCHESTRA Schubert Serenade flutes Tosti Flo'wer Song CLARINETS Lange Berceuse, irom "Joce lyn" HUBERT POQUETTE Godard Minuet FULL ORCHESTRA Gordon Calm as the Night HENRY nOMINY Bohm March, from "Aida" FREDERICK MOOERS Verdi Barcarolle, from "Ta' es of Hoftman" SENIOR ORCHESTRA Offenbach Old Time Dance Melody STRING QUARTET Desmarets Benoist Cha7,y Central Rural School March Poormcin FULL ORCHESTRA mmmmii^^ ^ m^^^^^^^ ^^^ Fifty-nin \.i n* j (^^yj S most ot the pupils live at ' rj a distance, the school owns ^ and operates thirteen school buses, each seating about forty pupils.
