SCHOOL NOTES


The class in Physics has
finished Dynamics and will now
take q brief review before enter.
ing the subject of Heat.
The Photography class is
studying earthquakes and yolcan.
ic eruptions. This class will fin.
ish this subject this semestre
and take up Geology in the spring
term.
The Botany class will have fin
fished the theoretical study of the
subject by January 23rd, at.
which time the final examination
comes and will take up Astrono-
my.
The State High School Board
of Examiners have changed the
dates of the finals to January %,
1905, which is the close of the.
first semestre. This is a wise.
change in view of the fact that it
will give the student more time
for the completion of term sub
jects. The old schedule was a
poor regulation and the new one
is received with gladness.
The High School department.
will begin rhetoricals immedi-
ately after Thanksgiving. The
school will be divided into two
sections, one of which will re-
cite every two weeks. Thus
each student will appear on the
program only once a month.
This arrangement will not de-
tract from his interest in and APP
%plication to his studies. All
must participate in the exercises
and be prepared promptly when
the occasion comes. The selec-
ton of the exercise is not entire
" optional with the student but
must be done with the assistance
of the teachers in charge.
Miss Bowers, who is a gradu-
ate in oratory, will give each stu
dent personal instruction by way
of preparation for his appearance
before his friends and school.
We eventually expect to make
these exercises a public function
and conduct them in the audito-
rum on Friday evenings.
Our attendance and punctuali-
ty are splendid. We are striv-
ing to keep them so. Then take
it upon yourselves to see that the
children are started to school
promptly.
Mr.. Geo. Fessler visited the
High School Monday.

large quantity OF fibrous rubber At the
time scarcely any attention was paid TO
the discovery. but owing 10 the scarcity
Of rubber and its high commercial value
which is in reality so prohihitiye as 10
prevent very wide employment Of the
substance, attempts are being made in
England to turn this new discovery TO
commercial use. The plant also thriyes
profusely IN northern Nigeria. and it is
these forests which are to be exploited
A sample OF the plant has been analyzcd
by tho botanical authorities at Kew gar

show that the rubber exists in the roots
IN sufficiently large quantities to warrant
development. The name Of the plant is

An attraction of considerable i'm.
portance is announced in the engage
ment of Jane Corcoran, who win be
seen at the Grand next Tuesday even
ing, December 9th, in Frances Aymar
Matthews picturesque play, "Pretty
Peggy" Although Miss Corcoran has
not appeared in this city since she be-
came star, she was previously an al.
most annual visitor, and local theater.
goers will well remember her pleasing
work as Tennessee Kent in "Tennes-
sees Pardner," which she played for
several seasons, and later as Annabel
in "At the OldsCross Roads" Her
admirers have doubtless noted with sat
isfaetion her success in the East, and
will gladly welcome her return.
"Pretty Peggy" in which Miss
Corcoran has made her stellar debut
and also the most pronounced hit of
her career-was one of the very few
big successes of the past two seasons
in New York, where its run was ex-
tended from time to time, first at the
Herald Square Theatre and later at the
Madison Square, from March 90 to
Oct. 81. The play was then presented
in only few Of the principal theat-
rical centres in the East, during the re.
mainder of the season, therefore, this
will be its first appearance in the
West and South. On the present tour,
the same big production is carried that
marked the long run of the play in
New York and the Eastern cities. Miss
Coreoran's supporting company, which
is large one, is headed by Andrew
Robson, who for the past four years
has starred in "The Royal Box" and
" Richard Carvel."

THERE al two things that the whole

cerning catarrh. The first is that ca
tarrh Is the m mostprevalenta and omnipres-
ent disease to which the people in the
United States are subject. All classes
of people have it. Those who stay in
doors much and those who go outdoors
much. Working classes have it and
pedentary classes have it.
The doctor finds catarrh to be his con-
slant and ev r-present foe. 1t compli-
Gates nearly every disease he ia called
upon 70 treat.
The sAcond thing about catarrh on
which all doctors agree, Is that 1t is diff
ficult to cure 1t. Local remedies may
give relief but they fail tn cure per-
manently. Sprays or snuffs amount to

little or nothing except to give tempo

Catarrh is frequently located in inter

any sort of local treatment. All this

To devise some systemic internal rem
edy which would reach catarrh at its
source, to eradicate it permanently
from the system-this has been the de-
sire Of the medical profession for a long
time. Forty years ago DIR. Hartman
confronted this problem. He believed
then that he had solved it. He still be-
lieves he has solved 1t. He cures thou
sands of people annually. During all
these years Peruna has been the remedy
upon which he has relied.
