Referring to the table above we
note the small number of pupils at
the Grant school who were neither abb
sent nor tardy the past month. This
fact is explained by the presence of
diphtheria in that school district dur
ing the month just closed and although
no children in attendance at the
school were afflicted with the disease,
many were kept at home by parents
through fear of exposure. Prompt ac-
ton on the part of the city and school
officials effectually controlled the sit
uation at all times and although the
work of the school was greatly ham,
nered by the small attendance, the
school continued in session and the
years work was brought to success
full termination. The health of pupils
and teachers throughout the district
for the entire year has been above the
average and this is no small factor in
reviewing the years wora in the
schools.
Memorial Day was observed by the
teachers and pupils of the schools by
joining with the old soldiers in their
exercises at the cemetery and later
at the opera house. Miss Sophia
Strohmeier, member of last years
graduating class, read the memorial
address at the graves, and Miss Eva
Ign Baugh gave the selection, Almost
Up" at the opera house. The teach.
ers and pupils of the Jefferson school
determined not to be behind in pa
triotism and hoisted above their
school magnificent new flag. The
emblem was of large size and was
purchased with a portion of their pro-
ceeds from the entertainments given
in the high school few weeks ago,
Information regarding the gradual
ing exercises of the high school has
been duly given to the press and need
not be repeated here. Save two unto
ward incidents during the exercises,
all arrangements were carried out in
a satisfactory manner. The incidents
referred to served only to bring out
prominently the high, manly qualities
of the person toward whom they were
directed; they can hardly fail to bring
sense of shame and regret to any
right.minded person If it were possible
for such a person to be in apy way
connected with their instigation.

There was no class in the Webster

number, fifty-ive, most Of them will
enter the high school. while few
are planning on entering another
school or going to work. We hope all

other good school. There is no reas-
on why the high school of our city
does not offer superior advantages to
