The First Lifeboat.

no FHSt LiTepOdI.
About the year 1854 L. Ludkin, a
London coach builder, designed what
he called an ''unimmergible boat" 1t
was, however, yawl which he con-
verted by adding projecting gunwales
of cork, with watertight compartments.
1t was unwieldy, and no practical use
was made of 1t. Five years later Hen
ry Greathead, a boat builder, designed
a lifeboat, which was built by public
subscription, and it seems to have
been constructed on proper lines, for
we find that during the following four
teen years he built nc fewer than
thirty-one and, moreover, received a
government award Of 1920. The Ma
tional Lifeboat institution was found
ed in 1923 under the patronage Of

Parents, Please Read This,

There is something radically wrong
with referei ce to school pnnt tuality.
Compared to other schools our school
can not be approached for tardiness.
Just think of 1t, 1917 cases registered
during the month ending with Jan. 81
Now compare that to Enterprise,
Joseph, Wallowa, or any other school
in Oregon, or perhaps the United
States.
1t seems tn be such an alarming state
OF things that it needs but to be known
to be corrected,
Can it be possible that parents viii
allow their children to be so often tardy?
| do not believe you know that youl
children are lettering along the way
You certainly would not allow it, Let
US cooperate IN eradicating this evil
Did you notice the Enterprise schoo
reports Ii you did YOU saw that they
had but IL ,ses OF tardiuess among
tn, ir over 20l enrolment. Compar,
that to our 1917 cases with only l3l
enrolled. 1t certainly looks bad.
Que can't realize how much it inter
rupts chool work to have pupils com,
strincing IA every few minutes unless
he h Is tried teaching under those con
ditious. Then again it interrupts al
those in the room who are trying I,
study. Also, the tardy ones are bein,
elucated in wrong ideas. One needs I,
be trained in punotuality fully as mucl
as in anything else.
An education is the one thing o
which one can't be robbed. The stat
is at great expense to place q good ed
ucation within the reach OF all. Tn
future greatness OF Oregon demand
The news=record. [volume] (Enterprise, Wallowa County, Oregon) 1907-1910, 1908-02-13

that we so educate our children that
there shall be no doubt that when we
lay aside the burden there will be com
petent hands and minds to take it up.
Therefore let us see to 1t that punctu-
ality be insisted upon. and instead OF
our school Icing reproach to us, let
it become model of punctu ality. Also
let absences be reduced to minimum.
