SCHOOL NOTES.
BY THE "B' 81. Ass,

The school yard is now divided INTO |
separate play grounds. The three Pri- ]
mary rooms have the space around the |
school house AS far back as the wood |
shed, while the Intermediate, Gram !
mar and High Schoo. Departments
have the grounds from the wood-shed
to the back fence. The rules as to the
pupils keeping on their own play
ground are being enforced, so that the
High School scholars are deprived Of
the pleasure of counting the boards of
thu new sidewalk during recess time.
1t is exceedingly interesting to watch
the little folks. at play during inter-
missions. the same old familiar games
that we once found so much pleasure
in, are still in vogue Hop Scotch,
Black man, Run, Sheep Run. etc, and,
seemingly they now afford the same
interest.
As usual the program was very in
teresting last Friday. and with each
| week, we suggest, an improvement is
made in the character of the exercises
The other departments do not seem to
take as much interest in their eXer.
cises as we do 1t may be that it is
because we have too, as no one is eX-
cused from speaking and reading their
essays. If they are absent, and their
absence is necessary, they are excused
! L., I,:.l =
they are present and do not have their
essays and Rotations prepared, they
have til! Monday morning to prepare
them.
The law is strictly enforced in our
room and the good result is forcibly
apparent.
The adjournment of school Friday
before the completion of the program,
necesitated the postponement of Earle
Porter's and Willie Whites essays un-
til Monday Earle Porter's essay,
practice What You Preach" was
very amusing and interesting. He
said 1.-The teachers should not tell the
scholars not to chew gum and then &c
off and chew it themselves Whether
his intimation had sufficient grounc
we are not prepared to say.
!, Last Friday the essays were as fol.
lows: Memory" by Miss Lora Rem
ington; "Things that Cost Nothing
by Miss Mabel Gregory "Ideais," by
Miss May Wildenthaler; Patience, y
| by Miss Bertha Haner Influence, >
by Miss Eula Ward. Bertha Haner's
essay on ''Patience' is worthy of spe.
cial notice. Recitations were by Misses
Elma Clarke, Bennice Day, Addie
Clarke, Nellie Harrington, Amy Rus
sell and Grace Pierstofi.
Mrs. Wildenthaler visited the school
Friday, and we hope she was we'll
pleased with the program. Our Wis.,
itors are coming slow but sure-"Good
things come Slow" they say. Miss
Lizzie Harvey visited the school Tues
day
We think the parents should come
and hear their own pupils render their
parts OF the program, even If they do
not care to hear the others.
The front fence Is being remodeled
to conform with the street lines, and
thereby enable the school sidewalks to
be placed on the proper grade.
| When We considers the beauties q
our grounds, the comforts of our school
rooms and the high standard of our
teachers, we wonder if the most
thonghtless pupil could fail to appre.
ciate the privilege of entering the Lew.
