School Notes.

Inc Logan SCHOOLS opened Septem-
Der 18th, with an enrolment of 675
pupils. At the close of the month
722 pupils were enrolled as compared
with 7l8 pupils for the first month
last year.
The schools are we'll begun with
teachers and pupils working earnest
ly to make every day count. The
pupils are disposed to waste none of
the teachers valuable time by max
ing it necessary to take much of the
school time for correction of faults.
They seem to know that school is
the place to secure an education, and
that idleness and foolishness do not
belong there. The children in all
the schools are to be commended for
their regard for right and duty.
Earnest and painstaking teachers
inspired by hearty cooperation of
parents are potent factor in the
success of any school. We are glad
to see such interest manifested by
/ the patrons, as is sure to encourage
the teachers and tend to keep the
Logan schools in the front rank in
the work of education. The parents
are thrice welcome to come often to
the schools and inspect the work
there.
The High School has made a good
start in the years work. All the
classes are now settled down to work
with firm determination to succeed.
Each class is trying to make a re.
cord for faithful work and good con-
duct. The freshmen and senior
classes are unusually large, the for
mer having twenty-four members
and the later forty-five. These
classes are making strong effort to
have every member meet the re-
quirements for promotion. The
senior class have reason to congratu-
late themselves on the disposition
and virtue of the members. The
boys are manly and the girls are lady
like. The High School is always
glad to have such a creditable class
as the present one. The senior v ear
is the most important of all the
school years both to the members of
the class and to the rest of the
schools. The seniors are the expon-
ents of the work done in the schools
and have a far reaching influence on
the schools and on the community.
In the senior year the pupils are ex.
pected to reach that point in their
education when they can see the
contracted horizon of their own
knowledge and the limitless expanse
OF the unknown. Just as the horizon
OF view increases while we ascend a
mountain so the horizon bounding
knowledge extends as we increase in
learning. And at length we reach
that point where we car comprehend
the vastness of the fields of know
ledge and feel how insignificant we
are.
The Agcran and Clionian societies
are fully organized again and pre-
pared to enjoy "a year of profit and
entertainment. The officers are ex-
pected to become proficient in con-
Quoting meetings. Visitors are
heartily welcome to attend the Fri
day afternoon sessions.
We solicit the parents aid in pre-
venting tardiness. The five cases of
tardiness in the grammar depart
ment and the nine in the primary
grades were more than were neces-
sary. The children should be start
ed to school not later than the second
bell and not earlier than the first bell.
October 10th will be observed by
the schools as Lafayette Day. The
programs will consist of stories, re-
citations and songs. In another
column will be found the program to
to be given by the High School.
