The High School program Monday
included recitations by Florence Rob-
erts and Anna Bratt: vocal solo by
May Opal Maloy and a piano splo by
Anna Jerrard.
Two important additions have been
made recently to the High School
library. Col. Hughes has kindly do
mated a couple sets of tee reports or
! Bureau of Labor. 1t is a valuable
collection of "a volumes and includes
treatises OH almost every economic
subject. The school is under great
obligations to Mr.. Hughes for his
generous gift Of mine of reference
material.
The second addition referred to was
a gilt from the giver of all good gifts,
| the school board. 1t is a four volume
history of Wisconsin. This beautiful
set of books lie the work of board Of
editors composed of DR.. Il. Ct, Tha-
waites, Elk Lieut.. Governor Emil
Baeuzch, w. d. Wright, Henery
Legler, Bishop Laboule and Henery
Colin Campbell. This gift will FIJI a
long felt want for there hitherto has
been no satisfactory history of our
state accessible. The school library
has also Thawaite's stories of the
Bager State and Wright History of
Wisconsin Territory. Already the
pupils have manifested much interest
in the new books.
The Dewey has reasons to be proud
among other things, OF the work of
Miss Mccormick is doing This tea
cher through her work in Institutes
has become one of the best known
primary teachers in the whole state.
This fall she has been asked by sew
eral prominent school journals to con-
tribute articles of an educational ma
ture. Several Of her thoughtful
articles have appeared in Educational
Foundation one of the best known
Primary papers in the state. She has
helped not little to make the Pri.
mary departments Of the Wisconsin
Journal.ot Ec ucation what it is. The
November number of this last named
paper reproduced large cut OF the
Dewey School Miss Mccormick re :
, fleets credit not only on herself but
the Dewey School also.
One of tie brightest little papers
that comes to the High School read
ing table is the "High School Record
of Idoho Strings Cal. The school Is
indebted to former principle Potter
for this little remembrance 1t is evi
l dent that Mr.. Potter has made a"hit'
out West for. from every source
= comes unstinted praise The schoo
paper reflects Mr.. Potter's popularity
on every page and his pupils are
@ never happier than when they are
singing his praises. For example IN
u the Thank sgIvine number under the
captain of "our new teacherso il tn
be found this little paragraph "Mr.
= Potter is our old standby, who has
done more to raise the standard OF
the school thon any other professor
the board has ever hadn. From the
: Idaho Springs papers it appears that
Mr. Potter is made to suffer much
good natured joking anet his new boy
, The following is taken from the
"Record" and explains itself, "Mr.
Potter indignantly These Wild In
+ dams around here call my boy Jack
| Pot, ! hope that nickname won't
, stick to HIM, Throwing out his chest
But guess it won't hun t that boy.
