School Notes.

Ruby Aten daughter of the M. E.
pastor is now one of the third
grade pupils.
The Cicero class took a written
review Wednesday on the Grafton
just completed.
Edith Brown is a new student in
the seventh grade. She comes
from Cedar Rapids.
Three of the teachers last week
were supplied with small globe to
assist them in geography work.
Calisthenic drills are given in the
grades-one short exercise in each
forenoon and afternoon session.
We now have good number of
large plain but inexpensive maps
in the intermediate and two gram
mar rooms. We consider these
among our most valuable equip
ments.
The present regularity of attend
ance in all of the rooms is a fact
worthy of coment. Teachers are
highly pleased and our hope is that
nothing will reduce the good aver
ages being made.
Thomas Lohner was struck in the
bat which slipped out of the hands

Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Beckman, of
Illinois, have been visiting among
the Newman and Hocamp families,
Mrs. Beckman being a sister of the
Newman boys. 1t was happy re-
union between Mrs. Beckman and
grandpa and grandma Newman, it
having been twenty-six years since
the family emigrated to this state
from Illinois, leaving the only
daughter residing there, Mrs. Beck
man having been absent from her
mother this length of time. The
boys have been back to visit them
at times, having other relatives in
Illinois. The said family while in
the middle west, made q visit at
Blair and other points in Nebraska,
Mr.. Beckman having some relatives
there. They also made visit at
the John Marsh family at Dexter,
Iowa both as they came and went.
Mr.. Marsh is half brother of Mrs
Beckman. Before leaving for their
home the relatives all met together
and had some photographs taken.
So far as Mr.. Beckman has seen, he
thinks we'll of the state of Iowa, hav-
ing made mention of some advan-
tages of farming resources and of
the many flourishing creameries.
He was especially impressed with
the milk cans on the many wagons
which he saw In Adair one day.
The relatives all took dinner at the
Frazier hotel the day of their de-
parture, Mr.. Beckman footing the
bill for seventeen persons. He jok-
ingly made the remark that the folks
dined at his table last, and that it
was their turn to make the next Wis
it. After dinner was over Mr.. and
Mrs. Beckman babe farwell to all
and then took the three O'Clock
train for their home.
