the high school, should join a fraterni-
ty, would vote that you be expelled. -
This is the statement made by S. r.
Kutz. a member of the board of edu-
cation when addressing the graduating
class of the Grant school Friday
afternoon in the eighth grade room of
the school. Mr.. Kutz also said that he
hoped the school would get an assem-
bly, room, as the room had been so
crowded that he had to stand until he
grew tired. In addition he told how
G. w. Morrow, the principal, had
gone to school to him some twenty
years ago. which is very contradictory
to Mr.. MorroW's youthful appearance
In reply Mr.. Morrow said that he
did not like to be given away in that
manner. He also said that indications
were that none of the graduates would
join the high school fraternities, al
though, like all North, side people,
they were possessed of a very fraterna1
spirit. He also spoke of the high
standard of scholarship held by the
school.

for the school A course of nature

a series of manufacturers displays of

showing the manufacture of the arti-
Giles from the first to last process. New
drinking fountains have also been in
stalled.
"As 1 stated in my remarks yester-
day, I am proud of the scholarship
record that the school is making,
said Mr.. Morrow this morning. For
instance. Miss Mamie Zarker and Miss
Callie Kincaid. who tied for honors in
the Topeka high school graduating
class of 1903 were from this school.
They are teaching this year. 1 also
understand that Lois Seger, a junior
in the high school, has received Els
in all her studies but one since she en-
tered that institution. The other grade
referred was G.. She graduated from
the Grant school.
''This school needs an assembly
room, but I do not see a feasible way
of making one. We assemble in the
eighth grade every morning but are
always crowded and have to bring in
chairs to accommodate the pupils. This
was also the case when so many visit
ors were present yesterday
w. A. Forbes, a prominent member
of the North side Baptist church, has
tust received Il card of greetings fol
1910 from Rev. A. Frank Houser. Phi
. D., formerly pastor of the church
here, now In charge OF the FIRST Bap-
tist church at Erie, Pa. The wording
is beautiful and expresses good philos-
ophy. Part of it is in poetry which
is well written and is fitting vehicle
for the cheerful message it carries
The greetings follow:
