Taking life by the easy handle does
not mean that one is to neglect duties
till they pile up in front like a small
mountain and dare one to forget them
1t means faithful performance Of
necessary duties as they show up and
an avoidance OF useless ones. II
means doing a little bit each day and
forgetting for the moment that there
is anything to carry forward to the
next day. There are two exasperating
classes in the world, those who work
too hard and those who will not work
at all. They are much larger than
the third class. made up of reasonable
men and women who do their duty as
soon as they see it and take pleasure
as It comes. Modern life is complex
under any circumstances. but It is not
the struggle some would have us be-
heve unless We voluntarily add to our
burdens.

SCHOOL NOTES.

The regular teachers meeting was
held Tuesday evening at which the
teaching of first and second grade
arithmetic was thoroughly discussed
and many points of interest we're
brought out.
The high school will have liter
ary program next Friday afternoon,
and we would be glad to have any
of our patrons visit us. We are glad
to welcome visitors at any time
The new high school building is a
subject of much discussion among
the high school pupils in fact among
all pupils. There is scarcely a room
at the old frame building that does
not leak
The grade cards are now in the
hands of the pupils and we hope that
the parents will examine the grades
of their children and report to the
superintendent if not pleased so the
pupil will get down TO better work,
Many of our patrons do not like to
write an excuse for their boy or their
girl saying that their child is honest
and does not stay out of school, may
be he is; but there are some that are
not so honest and we are forced to
demand an excuse for each day abb
sent. or tardy SO please write the
excuse and do not cause the child to
be sent home, for this rule must be
enforced to the letter
