Mr. Lees, it will be recalled, was
the candidate for chairman of the
board who opposed Mr.. Carey year
ago nearly defeating the Carbon Cliff
member for the place. 1t is not i'm
probable that if both are reelected
they will both be candidates for the

School Notes.

Our enrolment "Wednesday morn
ing was about BIS, the High school
and primary having the largest en-
rollment, each of which have ten or
twelve more pupils than one year ago.
The question of school books is an
important one just now and we doubt
not but that many parents find the
financial side quite burdenSome. Yet
when you take pencil and paper and
make careful calculations it does not
prove to be as bad as at first thought.
The Journal of Education says on
this subject Ii is rare home that
does not spend more for a child s
Christmas toys than for his school
books more for his valentines and
hrecraCkerS than for his school books,
more for the circus and moving pic
lures than for school books, more for
ball, bat, glove, tops and marbles than
for his school books Perhaps all
of the above does not apply to our
readers, yet there is considerable
truth in the statement and also food
for thought.
Our school building has had a
good cleaning during the summer
and is in good healthy condition for
the new year. Soap and water and
paints and varnishes are all good ny
genie agents and have been freely
used.
Our Fourth Graders are rejoicing
over some new library books, pur-
chased with funds they helped to
make last year. They will have the
first use of these new books and then
the other grades will be allowed to
read them. The books are over
eighty in number and all are splen-
did for children of this age
Miss Helen Logan, our teacher of
music and drawing, was delayed and
has not yet arrived. A telegram
states that she will arrive this week.
Miss Alma Almen of the Fourth
grade is quite sick and Miss Bessie
Stowell the new teacher for the over
flow room, is starting the Fourth
graders in their new ward
We have not complete list oil
new pupils in the High school, but
the following are among those just
coming to Grangeville to take up ad-
vanced work: Ralph Clarke, Orrir
Riebyld, Thomas Hurley, Clara
Knorr, Myrtle Cowgirl, Jessie Cook,
and Susie and Sarah Gregg. We are
quite sure that all of these will dc
good work and prove to be excellen
students.
The second graders had half holi
day Tuesday afternoon and thei
room was used as voting place TO
the annual school election.
