School Notes.

The second month of school closed
Friday of last week. Our enrollmen,
was then 1S3. an increase of eighteen
during the month. Still there are
many children on the streets of Welsh
who ought to be in school.
Thursday, Thanksgiving day being
legal holiday, there will be no school,
but we will return to our duties Friday.
The Thanksgiving program given
by room three Wednesday afternoon
was attended by about twenty-five OF
our citizens and patrons. 1t was an
enjoyable affair, consisting of recita-
tions, songs and essays. Rev's. Men
tie and Brock each made interesting
and instructive talks to the pupils.
The work Of the pupils indicate an i'm
provement over the work they did at o
similar function last year.
Quite number of visitors from the
Thanksgiving exercises of room three
called on the High School room late
Wednesday afternoon. Rev. Brock
made few interesting remarks to US,
in which he showed how many things
we have this year to be thankful for,
and expressed the hope that we might
all recognize our obligation to the
Good Father for all his Bene6cient
gifts.
Parents, you can help US very much
if you will call on us once in a while
and encourage us by your presence
and suggestions. We are always
glad to see you.
Several cases of cheating have oc-
cured recently in some of our classes.
We deplore the fact that there are
those among us who will, so dishOnor
themselves and their classes, as to
try to steal honors that do not belong
to them. If this thing continues, we
shall publish the names of the guilty
parties in the School Notes. But we
trust that this may be the last we may
have of this form of deception.
The Library Committee met in the
High School room Wednesday even
ing and considerable business was
transacted, we understand. We hope
our books may soon be on hand for
use. This is good work and should
receive the hearty support of all pub
lie spirited citizens.
