SCHOOL NOTES.

Friday the superintendent listened to
the German class.
Susie Rife conducted the recitation
10 arithmetic Tuesday.
Thursdays examination in geometry
making way for Robinson's trignometry.
We understand that Dora Henderson
expects to take charge Of her room next
term az usual.
The class in Virgil is one month ahead
Of the n last year. This gives them
an easier time Of it.
Next week is the last Of this term,
lea wing a balance Of two months for the
completion Of the year.
Miss Caroline johnson was visiting
her former schoolmates and viewing
the places she was wont TO occupy last
year.
Not 80 many travel the way into the
office OF late. Is this a calm before the
storm, or that a new leaf has been turned
over.
A part Of the chemistry class have
determined to manufacture nitro.
glycerinc and succeeded to a certain ex.
tent last Monday,
Chemistry now recites every day in
stead OF once a week as before. The
lessons are not as long but will cover
more ground in the week.
Geo. Overing filed to place Of teacher
in the general history and physics classes
Friday afternoon. The teacher wal sui.
fering from a severe hoareeness in the
throat.
Alvin Pope's DON succeeded in win
ming the banner this week. II the fifth
room cannot boast OF that honor she can
brag OF being the nearest to it any way,
which is not saying very much.
II etiquet and ethics were taught in
the school We think some would have
roo m for improvement. Some scholars
act as il they were in a clinical nation
where such things are not known.
Miss Lilly has enrolled herself this
week as one Of the scholars. Contrary
to the usual state Of affairs our school
is increasing in numbers instead Of fall.
ing short as is generally the case toward
the last Of the term.
One young man was surprised to quite
IN extent when he beheld the superin-
tendent at bis side after making a dis
turbance. He had Just come into the
room and noticing one Of the scholars in
charge, supposed the way was clear.
The rod was administered with zeal
upon this young mans frame q few
minutes after.
1t has been almost four years since
the death angel has visited any Of the
schools, but last Monday it arrived with.
out scarcely any warning, taking one Of
the scholars OF the third room, Chester
Young. His room did honor to their
%schoolmate by attending the funeral in
a body; also a number from other rooms.
In behalf Of the schools we extend our
deepest sympathies to his mother and
he as a schoolmate has left a tender
! place in our hearts.
The German class is the topic OF the
day at present. Thursday they handed
in a petition to be excused from the
study, they however recited the next
day, but IN Monday when called to the
recitation room refused to obey. Con.
s~equently were expelled, cited to appear
before the school board that evening.
Their objections were overruled and
they we're compelled to return under the
old dispenssation. The sleeve pinches
but must be worn. An outbreak Of this
kind is something very unusual, the
first known Of in the school. The schol.
ars we're slow in returning and for a
time it was thought the once quiet and
peaceable graduating class would fall
and die. BETTY.
