Whose business is it to keep the
sidewalks leading up to the high
school clean? Whoever is supposed
to look after it certainly is not doing
his duty After snow storm small
children may be seen at noon and af-
ter school sliding down the sidewalks.
They slide there until the sidewalks
are so icy that the pupils and teach
ers are compelled to wade through the
snow above their shoe tops to avoid
falling down on the ice. If the snow
were celeaned off by the owners i'm
mediately after a snow storm the chill
dren would not wish to slide down on
the walk and then there would be no
ice. The following is the city ordi-
nance on the subject:
1T shall be the duty of the occu-
pant of any premises within the linn
its of the city of Lewistown, or, in
case such premises are unoccupied
then the owner or his agent, to keep
the sidewalk in front of and adjoining
his premises free and safe for all
pedestrians: and with all reasonable
dispatch remove snow, ice, slush and
all other impediments to safe and con-
venient foot travel, and prevent the
continuance and accumulation of the
same upon such sidewalk"
The high school students hope that
this ordinance will be obeyed better
in the future than it has in the past.
Monday the high school pupils
came again TO renew their efforts with
increased determination to succeed

term the most valuable TO them of
any they have passed through. Each
one has determined to do as Prof.

his standing SO as 10 rank near tho
very first Of the class. This will not
only bring honor to the pupil, but al
SO to each of the classes he is in;
thus aiding not only himself. but those
around him. We bore in mind that
if we aim at the stars we shall hit
higher than if we aim at any earthly
thing. Each one has aimed a little
higher for the end of the next five
