Our Physics apparatus which is
comparatively nothing, will be in
creased by the arrival of about one
hundred and thirty five dollars
worth OF new apparatus which we
expect to have here in about two
weeks.
The Physics class expect TO
prove, some time in the near fu-
ture, that the water pressure Of a
one inch pipe forty feet high will
break the hoops on a cider barrel.
The teachers would be very glad
to have the parents come and see
what work their children are doing.
Every now and then we hear
people say that the expenditure of
a hundred dollars for apparatus is
too much to spend for f%oolishness.
If they will come and see what
practical use we are making of
what little we have they will change
their minds.
This year as we'll as every other
year there are a few pupils, as it
seems, that have nothing to do but
to report false things out Of school,
TO their parents and school board,
then the parents and the board
stand around and talk about these
false reports instead Of coming up
to school and finding out the truth
Of the matter. We, as pupils, do
not wish to criticize, but we ask
that parents come to see what ac-
tually takes place.
