WOODWARD SCHOOL NOTES.

Miss Melville of the second grade
expects TO spend Christmas and tho
holidays at her home in Fillmore.
"Pinafore' is now we'll under way
and promises to be "A grand success.
1t will be given ON Friday evening,
December 23rd.
There is surely a hoodoo lowering
about the fourth grade. Substitute
Mrs. A. f. Miles is now i'll and Mrs.
1. Q. Macfarlane is substituting for
the substitute.
Talk about holiday PUSHES The
Woodward people feel the most
rushed of any people on earth. What
with their REGULAR work, their Christ
mas programs, oprettas, meetings, re-
hearsals, etc, they hardly know
whether they are afoot or on horse
back.
A number of people have expressed
their intention recently of donating
some books TO the library. To all
such we should say that we are ready
aud will be happy to receive them
at any time. And again, lovers Of
books may enjoy the privilege of the
library at all times. We want our
books used, that they might fulfill
their right mission.
A rousing parents meeting was held
at the Woodward on Tuesday after
noon at o'clock, The subject of
the meeting was TO consider means of
improving tho attendance. Prin.
Merrill reported that children were
being detained at home for trivial
causes, and were frequently permitted
to remain without cause; that the
situation, in his opinion, was almost
a desperate one, and that something
must be done. When he reported
2l8 cases of absence for the thir-
teenth week, and 243 for the four
teenth. and 70 cases, or the equiva-
lent of an all day absence of 36 pupils
on Monday, an exclamation--almost
of horror went from tho patrons.
They expressed themselves as much
opposed to such condition of affairs,
and advised the adoption of rigid
!. measures to secure prompt and
regular attendance. The following
resolution was offered and adopted
Iron County record. [volume] (Cedar City, Utah) 1893-1982, 1904-12-16
"Resolvod BY the teachers and nat

Resolved by the teachers and pat.
rons Of the Woodward School that
the OBTAINING of pupils from school
is detrimental TO the best interests
of the school and the community,
and that we will do all In our power
to secure prompt anud regular atten-
dance.
"And be it further resolved that
no excuse other than sickness shall
be considered valid and of effect. ~
A very interesting discussion on the
subject of books and home reading
followed. The names of some hun
bred good books we're placed upon the
board, and the paernts we're advised
to select from them as Christmas pre-
sents for the boys and girls.

BRANCH NORMAL NOTES.

The boys are hard at work at their
baseball practices these pleasant
afternoons. A game with st. George
il TO occur about Christmas.
The recital given by Miss Spencer
was thoroughly enjoyed. She sustained
her enviable reputation as an elocu-
Zionist, in variety of good selec-
tions. Assisting her we're Morgan
Edwards, who gave violin solo with
credit Jennie Cory, who sang
"Dreams' very sweetly; Mamie
Jones, in an artistic piano selection ;
and Mrs. briggs, who sang "Sleep
Little Baby of Nine" with pleasing
effect.
The young ladies are TO be warmly
congratulated on their successful
ball given last week TO those who
worked on the skating pond. Not
only did theymake enough TO pay off
the debts incurred; they also Melted
balance for future enterprises of
the kind Their share in the public
property is therefore more than half.
One attractive part of the evening
was the delicious refreshments served
in the domestic science room, which
had been very tastefully decorated
for the occasion. A
Thru the efforts of Prof. briggs
Page & Page have been induced to
buy collection of choicest b } oks for
old aud young that the world pro-
duces. Tley will be placed ON sale
before Christmas, and if the firm is
successful in disposing of them, it
will continue to keep good books on
hand. We hope to supplant the toy
habit to some extent. Some of the
other merchants have expressed a
willingness to try the experiment, but
it has not been worked into definite
shape as yet.
