NOTES

Hurrah for the blackboards. They
have come at last and are now being
put in place. They are of excellent
quality and of sufficient quantity to
furnish blackboard space for all.
Goldie and Winnie Lyons, of Iowa,
enrolled in the eighth grade this week.
We gladly welcome themtO our classes
and trust that they may both benefit
and be benefited.
Mayor Robinson and DR.. Cooper
were up at the building few minutes
on Tuesday of this week. Come again,
gentlemen, when you can stay longer.
Grade cards for the first months
work were given out last week. 1t is
hoped that every parent is interested
enough in the progress of his child to
examine carefully the card, which is q
pretty accurate index of the child's
efforts, conducts and punctuality in
attendance.
We are glad to see that the grades
are taking an interest in beautifying
their rooms. Let the good work 20
on.
Rev. F. G. Laslette, of the Congre-
gahonal church, was welcome visi-
tor at the school last week. He made
some very appropriate and timely re-
marks to the pupils, telling them OF
their advantages in having the oppor-
tunity Of free education, whereas in
most foreign countries the privileges
we enjoy here would cost thousands of
dollars. Would that parents might
realize the needs that their children
have of an education, and so see to it
that their boys and girls are in school
rather than running the streets, or at
some work that yields but Temporal
ry return for their time
Our enrolment has reached one
hundred and eighty-tive, an increase
of fifty over what it was the first day.
There are still about one hundred
children who ought to be in school.
Thomas Todd entered for eighth
grade work this week.
Miss Cora Carr took charge of
room three during the temporary i'll
ness of the teacher. Cora is on ex-
cellent pupil and will make a good
teacher.
It is to be hoped that those who
have the authority will soon have the
debris removed from our school
grounds. We have too handsome a
building to have its beauty marred by
so much rubbish on the grounds.
Alfred Senften re.entered the third
grade after about six weeks absence.
The third grade has also had several
other new enrollments, and is so full
that it has been necessary to put in
four extra seats. ~

Great is Calcasieu.

Lake Charles Press: Thomas Bird,
of this city, as everyone knows, is a
very methodical man, but last Satur-
day he surpassed himself and the
story incidentally reveals what a
country we have for game. Mr.. Bird
took his family to the Black bayou
hunting and fishing grounds with the
avowed intent to bring home trout,
crabs and snipe for his dinner. In
ten hours time the trip was made and
fifteen trout something shorter than a
canoe paddle, half barrel of the fin
est crabs with blue claws and few
dozen OF the latest snipe was the re-
suit of the outing.

A Fable, Nora! and All.

Not long ago, the engine, running 4
great factory employing hundreds OF
hands. got out Of fix. Every effort OF
the engineer to make his engine 60
proved fruitless. Meantime every
hand was idle.
Final Y an expert machiuest was
called in. He looked over the sit.
uatiOn for d minute, picked, up a
hammer, and struck certain part OF
the machinery three hard raps, laid
the hammer down and said; Now
she'll go:' and she did.
When his bill was presented it read,
For repairing engine, due pc: for
knowing how, due s24.15.
The above NAV sound like an lad
of the Tyler, Texas, College, but ii
actually occurred. The moral is, it
takes very little while to do things
when you know how; and he who
knows how holds the magic key to the
storehouse of the world.
II this moral should cause you to
attend Tyler Commercial College and
learn how to do work paying 5000 to
$4,000 a year, it might be life's turning
point to you, and the best thing to do
after all.
