HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

The period of current events on Fri
day afternoon was very pleasant one.
Over dozen students were called on,
and each responded by giving an item
of news taken from Current Events,
the little paper of which thirty copies
are taken by the school. When volun-
teers were called for about a dozen
more responded in the same way.
Every student in the room reported
that he had read Current Events for
the week. At the close of the day,
over forty students subscribed for the
paper, so that now we shall have sew
enty-five copies every week. This per-
iod, from 2:30 until so on Friday after
moons, is always an interesting one.
Patrons of the school would enjoy it, if
they could visit us at that time.
Special help classes. of from two to
five members, have been organized in
several of the grades, and put in charge
of member of the training school. This
is an effort to bring the members of
these classes up to grade to help them
in those studies that are hard for them.
Much good has already been done, and
some better results are looked for.
The high school collection of nine
dollars, added to by the contribution of
of the training school of three dollars
and half has been expended, and the
bulbs planted, 500 tulips in the big beds,
100 crocuses iii each of the small ones,
and 60 hyacinths in the beds near the
stone building The remainder will be
placed in pots and glasses to be en-
joyed during the winter.
We all miss Leslie Slack these days
we miss the music with which he sup

him.
