The Registers Weekly Resume of Events
In the Various Sub Districts.
This has been an eventful week to Il
least one class Of pupils in our schools.
The seniors stood their last examina-
ton on Wednesday, and now they Will
be on the ragged edge" until their
percents are known. 1t is thought
that this class will compare very fav-
orably with any former one One, at
least, in the class has a very enviable
record as to school attendance Miss
Mamie Mckinley, of the Sixth ward
school, has been neither absent nor
tardy during the past four and
half years. If there is a pupil
in the city that can beat this record,
the Register would be glad to make it
known. The school children all en-
jOyed Thursdays holiday. The chill
dren of Richie school, headed by
their teachers, marched with the vet
Grams to Mt. Zion cemetery, nearly
every one carrying a beautiful boquet
of flowers, which they gave to the G.
A. r. comrades at the cemetery to
scatter on the graves Of the fallen
heroes. 1t was a touching sight to see
the gray haired veteran, accompanied
by a troop of boys and girls, placing
their tribute on the graves of those
whose deeds made it possible for our
youth to enjoy the blessings of a COM
mon school education. Thus a pure
patriotism is taught.
There are now but four weeks of
school, but in that time much can be
accomplished. If the hot weather con-
tinues, no doubt the attendance will
fall off greatly, but the boy and the
girl who holds out faithfully to the
end of the year will be rewarded by
taking first place at the beginning of
the coming year.
A stranger visiting our city few
days ago from one Of our leading cities,
said to the writer that the new Web
ster school building was the finest pull
lie school building it had ever been hiq
privilege to see. This gentleman is
from a city famed for good school
buildings. The same gentleman void
scarcely believe that we had no Cen
trail High school, for said he, "OUr
High school has for years furnished
our leading business men, and the
girls coming from it and our training
school are making the teachers who
prepare the boys and girls for this
school" Would it not be well for our
Board Of Education to make a move INF
