Mr.. Stearns has Just finished
the beautiful Indian story, "a
Child of the Sun" 1t is a most
pleasing story, beautiful in de
scription and perfect in it's simple
English. We were all delighted
with it and drew many lessons to
be remembered in our school
work.
Spinning tops is now the pass
time of the boys and you will
find among them several good
"peggers." We doubt, though, il
they could rival the city boot
blacks.
The pupils have been very good
lately, as it is getting near Christ
mas and they don't want Santa to
leave them behind.
A few new scholars are expect
after the holidays.
Lena Rose is absent this week
helping with the work at home.
We are sorry Lena cannot be
with us every day.
The pupils of the High Room
have been drilling upon the COM
binations in addition 80 that at
this time a few have been able to
give them in twenty-five seconds.
Many of the scholars already
have learned that it is more their
duty than even the teachers to
protect our school buildings and
not allow them to be defaced
Parents should encourage schol-
ars in this work.
Our total enrolment to date is
173 while our membership num-
beers LAG.
Nina Seamens left for the
Rambler on Sunday. We are
sorry to lose Nina for she was a
good pupil.
The front of the room above
the black board in the informed
late Room is having an oramen-
tai frieze made of pupils draw
ings.
Warren Stocks joined the End
room Tuesday.
Those who were absent from
school on Wednesday afternoon
missed bearing the most thrill
ling and interesting story that it
has been our pleasure to listen to
for a long time. 1t being about
a little Saratoga girl of several
years ago made it the more at
tractive. Such a Christmay story
cannot help to make US enjoy our
happy lot the more, and be truer
and more kind to those about US,
especially during the happy
TChristmas time.
Those who have been neither
absent nor tardy during the
month of November are:

handled and the program was carried
out to the letter. The police work
was excellent, and patroiling of ave
nues and passageways to the First
Missouri infantry was ably done and
all possible consideration was shown
to the great crowd. which numbered
in round numbers $4,000.
The parade in the morning was
somewhat longer in passing before the
president than had been expected, for
all that he was only fifteen minutes
behind the scheduled time when he
was escorted by the committee into
tue Liberal arts building. In order to
arrive even rs early as that he was
compelled 60 take his noon day meal
under somewhat uncomfortable cir
cumstanoes.
During the luncheon, which he ate
at the conclusion of the parade, he
was showed heller SHELTER bv half the
people who had been in the grand
stand The food was placed on rec
tangular counter, and the president,
like everybody else, helped himself. -
The crowd inside the tent was dense
when the president, with secret service
men and Adjutant- General Corbin, act
ing as interference" forced his way
TO the counter. He was so closely
pressed that when he attempted to
move his arm his elbow disturbed a
cup OF coffee held by General Corbin.
With some difficulty the officers forced
the crowd TO allow the distinguished
guest elbow room, but they would al
low him nothing more. This msneu-
yer forced the adjutant-general out Of
range Of the sandwiches, but the presi-
dent devoted one hand to passing food
to his escort while the other was de-
voted to his own advantage.
/: Owing 30 his advantageous position
the president soon felt called ON to
help out other friends, and he was
kept busy passing plates. a service
which he performed with alacrity and
oheerfulness. The manner of the
presidents lunching was sufficiently
unconventional to excite curiosity, and
