"John Milton" Miss Mary L. Stan
ton. AT the general meeting eacn
leader IL expected to give short re-
mort of the meeting of her grade. Let
all be prepared and no one absent.
HIGH SCHOOL.
Mis- o. Tarver and Hubbard visited
the otl.er uepartments last Tuesday ana
renorted a very pleasant and prontaoie
time. The policy of having the teach
ers visit other rooms Is an excellent
one and contributes much toward the
upbuilding of the schools.
The high school will give an enter
tainmept the day before Thanksgiving.
All parents and friends are invited TO
attend.
The graduating class this year Is the
largest in the history OF the SCHOOLS.
There are thirteen girls and four boys
in the class. There should be more
boys.
A number OF pupils have been kept
ont of school this week, on account OF
la grippe.
Several new pupils have applied for
admission to the school and have been
placed on the waiting list.
A set of classical maps will be order
ed this week for TIE use of the history
classes in the high school. They will
add very much to the interest in this
important study.
There is much complaint among
pupils of the Central school on account
Of the abominabls heating arrange
ments. Coughs and colds are altogeth-
err too common, and the cause Is not far
to seek. The large stoves In the va
rious rooms are kept overheated. The
windows have FIRE quently to be thrown
open for ventilation. The scholars are
often compelled TO sit through their
recitation hours with wraps on, owing
TO the draughts. The corridors are
not heated at all, and the sudden
changes from overheated draughty
rooms to the cold halls are very dan
perous to health. The school board
should by all means look into this mat
ter before the weather becomes colder.
School Notes.
MESA SCHOOL.
While the Mesa School building may
be little inartistic in appearance, II
is. at least "beautiful for situation
Mount Franklin, with its picturesque
foothills, guard the rear, while from
the front one obtains a.charming view OF
the city; of the valley stretching out
below, when the cottonwood trees are
putting on the golden tints of Novem-
Der; of the Juarez mountains, wrapped
in the blue haze of an exquisite Indian
summer atmosphere. The wind that
sweeps and swirls and swings around
its grey walls and over it's storm-beaten
tin roof, is as fresh and pure as any
that ever blew from the caverns OF
Aeolus, and the sunlight Is as good as
any that ever kissed the kind old face
of Mother Earth. 1t is worth q walk
there to catch the view; to breath the
good air, and to feel the warmth and
glow of the uudisturbed sunshine.
It's five teachers are proud OF the
Mesa school from cellar to ceiling.
They believe in it, thoroughly and
completely, though they don't talk
much. They would rather keep st1ll
aud just work. They believe they
have the best of everytt 1g; "a tine
looking and as bright q lot of pupils as
else; the best and kindest p strons in
the world, though, II a few of these
would only take little more interest
In getting their children to school on
time il would be greatly appreciated.
Under Mrs. Bsiley's excellent su-
pervisiou, the routine work OF the
past week has progressed with the
usual interest and enthusiasm. A
number of the parents have manifest
ed their interest by visiting the diff
ferent clsss-rOoms. This 1s excellent
cooperation.
The children of the second grade are
