raked in the ''nickles''of the unwary.

ing business. After having taken
in the different amusement features,
all gathered in the assembly room
where Supt. keenan, made a few
remarks calling attention to the
necessity OF cultivating the social
side of our natures, and that our
school houses ought to be more than
they are the centers of the refined
social and intellectual life of the
communities. But he was not in
favor of letting the social work of
the pupils interfere with their school
work and for that reason he strongly
recommended that all church and
other social features, in which pupils
of the school are expected to>take
part, ought to come off on Friday or
Saturday evenings. Mr.. G. E. Lund-
quist, president of the Board of Edu-
cation, was introduced and spoke en-

which both teachers and pupils are
engaged, and called special attention
to the efforts being made to improve
the course of study along practical
lines. Judge Grindeland who was a
member of the Board for long time
until his elevation to the bench a
few years ago was next introduced.
He complimented the teachers and
pupils upon their work, and the
Board OF Education also came in for
a few bouquets. Addressing the stu
dents, he pointed out the value of a
good character in achieving success
in life and threw out many sugges-
tions that will prove helpful to the
young people. After these addresses
all filed into the seventh grade room
where delicious refreshments consist
ing of coffee and cocoa, sandwiches:
cake, fruit salad and other delicacies
were served. Thus passed a very
delightful evening, Notwithstanding
that outside it was very cold and
stormy.
