tended a Liquid Air lecture last summer
at Madison, and says that it is well

and instructive entertainment.

The Seniors had their examination in
Pedagogy last Friday, completing their
ten weeks work in that study. The
Seniors say they enjoyed the work and
derived great deal of benefit from it;
but just the same, many of the Juniors
are hoping that the law requiring it

weeks in a course that is already sufi-
GENTLY large to keep them very busy.
The present Seniors are very fortunate
in having had so excellent an instruc-
tor in the study.

of schools was about to purchase Ian

slides of the high school and de-
| sciption of the building that he desired,
and a new high school similar to ours
is what La Crosse is after. We hope
she will get it.
