SCHOOL NOTES
LUELLA CUNNINGHAM. Editor

Miss Carrie Thayer, who has been
sick with pneumonia since vacation,
is in school again.
Miss Priscilla Siede has entered the
high school with good record from
the Big Stone school.
Mrs. Ross and Miss Lovekin made
the high school pleasant call last
Wednesday afternoon.
Professor Burkhead is i'll with the
grippe" Hope he will soon recover
as we miss him at school.
The civics class had an interesting
mock trial last Wednesday,, in which
Mr.. John Lockhart sued Mr.. Edward
Watson for laying bombshell under
his house. Mr.. Lyle Benedict and
Miss Inez Ely were lawyers for the
plaintiff and Mr.. Harvey Green and
Miss Alice Bradford lawyers for the
defendant. Mr.. Watson was found
guilty and the judge Miss c. Koch
is about to give him his sentence.
AT the last teachers meeting of our
own school, penmanship was the spec
ial tonic. Miss Thomas illustrated her
method of teaching by work on the
blackboard and conducted an exercise
by considering the rest of the teachers
as class of pupils. Proper position,
nj ir,Yy hn nfx
duly considered. Writing with left or
| right hand is a matter of education.
| For both grace and utility the right
hand should have the pref renee,
| though there is no harm in being able
| to use both. 1t indicates very careless
teaching to permit a pupil to pass
through the primary and intermediate
| departments without being able to use
his right hand. With will and perse-
verence however, at any age one may,
in very short time, be able to use
either hand.
| The following school notes should have been
published last week, but the manuscript went
| astraS somewhere between the edltOr anu com
| poster.
Lower grades are filling up this
week-quite few are still absent.
Ambrose Garvey's bright and smil-
| ing face was seen in the high school
one day this week.
Messrs. Lincoln Schafer and Irving
| Ely of the class of 1900, have Joined
the Cicero class to read some addition
al orations.
They say all learned men and phil
osophers wear a small cap. Our Pro-
fessor wears a small cap: therefore he
must be learned man or philoso-
pher.
We are very sorry that Messrs.
Earl Lgget and Ray Kimball have
not yet returned. They gave US an
impression during the short time they
were here. that they were going to
make excellent students.
President w. l. Graham of the
Methodist College at Mitchell, S. D.,
made our high school pleasant call
last Friday afternoon, and in bright
little speech, occupying the time Of one
of our recesses, he admonished us that
some of US might perhaps, by perfect
living, be still in this beautiful world
at the close of the twentieth century.
A few of the high school students
having been exposed to the scarlet
fever, were not permitted to come to
school last week. This week the board
of health has given permission for all
except those from families where the
disease has existed, to return. Among
those returned are George Phelan and
Claire Comfy. Others are still absent.
John Defield has beer out with
very hard cold but is in school this
week. Ray Pament is at home threat
ened with pneumonia or typhoid fever.

father. Lewis was doing we'll in school

his atfliction. He was one of our sue
cessful students who passed arithme-
tic on the test of state questions given
the last week of last term.
