Miss Collins and Miss Finger. teach

The last session of night school
was held last night. The school clos
es a week earlier than was at first
intended on account of the art eXhib-
it. Mr.. Brown will make report of
the school to the board of education
at the next meeting.
Most of the junior boys came to
school yesterday morning with a
broad smile on their faces. The smile
was occasioned by the fact that a jun
Tor flag foated from the flag pole.
The flag disappeared later. however,
as each of the boys was invited to the
office for private interview with Mr..
Brown. The boys were let off with
Il severe reprimand and cautions not
to repeat the offense.
