Primary Ladies Entertain

A very dainty lunch was served in
the Primary room last Friday after
school, 10y Lenora Long, Marie Tackett
Leaiie McFarlin. Hazel McFarlin and
Leila Meese. The teachers were the
the guests. The girls succeeded in
surprising Miss Maple and conducted
themselves in manner that would be
pleasing To even better qualified critics
than their guests. We wish to con-
gratulate them on the success of their
surprise and also on the good taste
used in arranging their table. We, as
teachers greatly enjoyed the courtesy
shown 10y those little girls and altho'
teaching brings us IN contact with
many unpleasant things, and the
clouds of darknes and encouragement
hangs very heavy about us. There
are many rays of sunshine to brighten
our way and to remind us that the
most precious gifts that God has given
to the world, is conyinually left in our
care. Help us mothers and fathers
that we may direct your child's foot
steps Alright. Mrs BENNINGTON, p rim.

Blue Mound School Notes

At the close of the fifteenth week OF
school, January 9TH, 1910, our total
enrolment was 0s pupils.
Pupils enrolled the past week
Florence Stark, fifth grade; ira Kelley
fourth grade Ellen Kelley, first grade
The attendance since the holidays
has been very good, even better than
we expected, considering the disagree
able weather.
The various grades have been hav-
ing a review in their studies the past
week in order to better fit them for
the mid-year examination next week.
Every one is doing very good work.
The vacation did not break into the
review as much as we had feared.
The east half of our four.acre school
grounds has been the scene OF activity
during the noon hours the past week
The children manufactured sleds
which they tied to the horns of saddles
and then tried their skill at staying on
the sled while the rider urged his
horse TO its utmost speed around a
circular track. As the excitement in
creased, even the dignifed ca in
structors could not resist the tempta-
tion, casting their reserve to the winds
would often join in the sport. As a
result these stern looking pedagogues
were often sent sprawling in the snow
in very undignfied manner, much to
the amusement of the spectators.
Mr.. G. W. Young was appointed
treasurer by the County Superin-
tendent during the holidays to fiji the
vacancy made by the resignation of
f. II. Bendt.
We have taken up the matter of
purchasing library for Blue Mound
Our plans are to raise $50 for this pur-
pose. The pupils have pledged them
selves to raise $50 and we have agreed
to arrange for the remaining $50. We
