the quarreling has even extended into the

they don't succeed In getting him elected.
But the pupils are highly indignant at
the manner in which the offcious set have
taken the reins of the school in their own
hands and are driving the car of state
around their own private grounds. The
boys and girls are getting tired OF the
actions of the mobility, and 1t has been
rumored that meeting is to be held in
the near future among the pupils and
measures taken for the suppression of the
corporation and the boycotting of its di-

Visit Old Comrade.
Messrs. offutt and Hayes decided to de-
clare a holiday one day last week and
visit an old comrade at the Manual Train
ing School who formerly attended the
Western. and was foremost in the orSsni-
zation of the Phruight Gatherers. The
lanky pair played hockey" on the spot
and went over to call on their friend. On
the way they stopped at their homes and
exchanged their hats for dilapidated old
beavers of uncertain origin that they had
worn many night for frolic.
They are very dignified appearing pair
when they desire to be, having cultivated
the solemn expression of an undertaken
until it appears natural. At the Manual
Training School they were introduced to

Good School Spirit.

The school is as full of spirit this year
as ever; all that is needed is some one to
stir it up. On several occasions recently
the boys. have shown that their vocal
powers have not diminished in the slight
est degree and are only waiting to be
properly trained. One day last week when
the pupils were out of school on account
of a fire drill a number of the boys
gathered about a residence across from
the institution and howled until the in
habitants ran out to see where the fight
was.
The Business has made a new record by
getting every pupil and teacher out of the
school during a fire drill in exactly three
minutes This is excellent time when it is
remembered that the stairways of the
school are barely wide enough for two
persons. and the halls are almost as mar
row. The building is four stories high also,
and many of the pupils are housed in an
annex off from the main building Mr..
Davis and the faculty certainly handled
the drills in fine manner in order to
clear the building in three minutes time.
Pupils Good Spoilers.
The pupils are regainina ground in the
spelling tests this year and are doing good
work. The averages in the tests are
higher now than at any time in the past.
Last year some of the boys would not
study the spelling lessons under any con-
sideration. Even when they were kept
The Washington times., 1902-03-16

in they still refused, and consequently
failed in every test given them.
Now that change for the better has
come the faculty is greatly pleased. They
appear to believe that after all they can
make excellent spoilers of them.
They Want to Vote.
An interesting debate was held in the
assembly hall last Tuesday morning on
the subject. Resolved. That Woman
Suffrage should be granted in the United
States" Miss O'Donnell argued in the
affirmative, while Miss Maude Downs up
held the negative side of the question.
Members Of the faculty acted as judges,
and the decision was rendered in behalf of

boys sprang up the stairs to the top of the
building and opened the door of the shaft
there TIE elevator is one of the sort
that IS worked by pulling upon rope
that passes through the floor of the car
and extends from the top to the bottom
of the shaft.
Tied the Rope.
Reaching out. the boys tied the rope
tightly around a projecting bar of Iron SO
that il could not be moved in either direc
ton. Then they ran down to the base
ment again. In few minutes the pupils
came out of the store room bearing their
supplies and entered the car, closing the
door after them. The walking delegates
of the misunderstanding tribe promptly Sc
cured the door on the outside, so that the
pupils in the shaft were cut OFF from re-
treat. Then they adjourned to a more dis
music to be heard.
Presently the boys in the car had their
cargo properly piled up, and we're ready
for their upward journey. But to their
dismay, when they began to pull on the
rope they found it'immovable it 1t was sew
eral minutes before they realized fully
that they had been tricked.
Then They Howled.
Then they set up vigorous shout and
began to pound upon the walls of the
shaft. which are lined with galvanized
iron. The racket they raised was some
thing fearful, but no one came to their
rescue. Finally the time for the chemistry
recitation rolled around, and the prof"
noticed with dismay that the delegation

A Busy Month.
The past month has been busy with
study FOR the students of the first year

animation came off recently. however. and
a great load was lifted from the minds of
the students.
Debating Society Elects Officers.
At the semi-annual election of officers
for the debating society of the Schools of

were elected: President, T. Percy Guy

experiment. Nothing of tie sort had ever
been attempted in the schools of Wash
ington and. though regarded as a splen-
did institution by the majority of those
who were aware of its fundamental pur-
pose. it was looked upon with askance
by many who were disposed to regard it
as impracticable.
1t was the purpose of the faculty to
provide the pupils with wholesome and
nutritious food at as low figure pos
sible. The scheme is not money making
one, the edibles being disposed of ct
prices that barely cover the cost OF the
goods. Owing to the inexpensiveness Of
the luncheons it was hoped that the ex
pertinent would prove popular with the
pupils. But it soon became evident that
the boys and girls, especially the former,
preferred pies, currant buns, cider, and
candy to hygienic food. and they contin-
ued to dispose of their money in the same
old channels. In the three years that the
lunch room has been in existence 1T has
steadily decreased in patronage. until at
the present time, it is stated, barely
enough trade floats in at its open doors
to justify its continuance in business.
If II ultimately fails there is little hope
that lunch rooms will be Incorporated
in other high schools that may be built
III the future. and thus what should be an
excellent feature of the public school sys-
TEN will be set aside as worthless or I'M
practicable.
Life a Burden to Him.
1t seems that the publicity attained by
the recent fistic duel between Cadets Hef-
follower and Holcombe has placed the
pupils and faculty in awe of the press.
Hefelbower is living in a state of ter
ror, and it appears that his life is really
a burden to him. One day last week he

THAT CHAPTER.

A chapter on SCOTS Emul-

position in the histories of
weak children.
The gist of that chapter
usually reads like this" child
weak, pale, thin, no appetite,
fretful, weakness left over from
grippe or other disease. Be-
gan small doses SCOTS Emul-
sion three times a day after
meals. No apparent change
first week. Then appetite
improved, then strength in
creased, then child more lively,
slept better, decided gain in
weight, better color in the face"
And SO it goes till the child
is reported well and strong.

it is simple-Scott's Emulsion
