School Notes.

SCQOOl NOTES.
A part of the high-school song
books have arrived.
The scare over diphtheria has
almost subsidized and the school
work goes on as usual.
The two pupils from room two.
Weltha Brown and Herbert Lane,
who had the diphtheria are rap
idly recovering.
Mrs. John Verback visited in
Room One Monday. Parents are
always welcome visitors and the
only regret of the teachers is that
they are not more frequent Wis
itors.
Miss Starbuck of room FIVE and
Miss Cory of Jaunita, were un-
able to meet their classes during
the early part of the week and
Vivian Martin and Lulu Klatt
supplied.
Miss Myers during her stay
last week visited all the schools
in Districts Three, Nineteen and
Five. She was pleased with the
work being done and the material
improvements she found.
The school entertainment for
Thanksgiving eve is under way
and promises to be good. The
program will consist of music,
songs, drills. declamations, panto-
mines, etc, appropriate to the
season.
The supper for the library last
Saturday night was very success
full as to the financial side and
the school is rejoicing. The even
ing added about S110 to the
library fund. The donations
were liberal, the attendance good
and the spirit manifest was all
that could be desired. The va
rious committees did their work
we'll and the public was gener.
Gus hence the success.
There are several boys in the
higher grades who would like to
have place to work for theil
board during the winter months
The very fact that these boys
wish such places should be q
guarantee OF their character and
quality. Any one who wishes q
boy for the winter should see the
superintendent at once and make
arrangements, thus encouraging
worthy effort while getting full
value.
ANY one who desires some
particular book added to the
library should give the title, ano
publisher if possible to Mrs. Mil
dred Anderson or to the super
intendent who will present then
to the committee, and if the book
be in accord with the lines or
which the library is founded il
will be added. These suggestion:
are earnestly requested that the
committee may know the senti
ment of the public.

Several of the state papers are
holding up their hands in shocked
sorrow over the "degeneracy" of the
county fair, having discovered that
there are such things as drunken
ness and shoe-string gambling at the
fairs.-Wilmington Times.
The Age doesn't take much stock
in the talk of the degeneracy OF the
county fair. 1t believes that condi-
tons as to sobriety have grown bet
ter in the past ten or twenty years.
There is some drinking when the
whole countryside gets together once
a year for three-days handshake
and harvest festival, but there is
surprisingly little evidence Of it as
a general thing. The people don't
come for riotous amusement. Shell
Games are barred, but if they find
some satisfaction in purchasing prize
packages and patronizing the takirs
and other tented temptations, it's a
10y and a privilege that belongs to
them-to have a good time if ii
costs EN- seventy-fve cents. On the
whole, the county fair visitors are a
pretty straight and sober collection
of amusement seekers.
