HIGH SCHOOL NOTES


r. 4 n y
| The First Semester closes Feb. 2.
The High School has been placed on
the University visiting list.
Myrtle Grant of Peshtigo enrolled
with the Freshmen last Monday.
Roy and Angus Grant are doing work
in the 5th and 9Th Grades respectively.
We are pleased to note that the
''mumps" are permitting many of our
school people to resume their school
work
The First Annual Interscholastic
Basket Ball Tournament under the
auspices of the University will be held
at Madison on Masch 10, IL and IL.
Our ever popular and hard working
Primary teachers may have their work
slightly readjusted to meet the de-
mands of the school conditions when
school assemblies on Feb. 5.
The smallest book ever printed is the
story of Perrault's little "Hop-O-My-
Thumb. 1t can be read only by the aid
of microscope, but is complete in
every way and has four engravings.
Miss Benson's careful arrangement
of the subject matter brings Greek
History to competition and: the class
will be ready for the work in Roman
History at the converting of the Second
Semester.
At this season of the year Botany is
rather difficult subject to teach but
Miss Helson has a unique method
which holds the interest of the pupils
Part OF the work will be deferred un-
til Spring when outdoor material can
be obtained.
The representative teams from their
respective Districts will compete and
also give the boys a chance to visit
and look over the various buildings,
the greatest Library in the West; the
beautiful Glens and Campus second
to none. Appropriate trophies will be
given to the winning team and the
final game for the Western ~" Cham
pionship between Wisconsin and Pur-
due will be played on the last day also.
The following Counties constitute the
3rd District of Wisconsin,: Forest,
Langlade, Marinette, Oconto ana Shaw
ano.
The selection of books for children's
reading is quite as important as the
selection of food for their sustenance,
but it is duty very generally disre
gardsd. There are many parents who
are eager that their children should
read the best books, but they do not
know how to select them
After getting the personal as we'll as
written opinion of some sixty school
men, women and parents thru Insti-
tute work, school visitation, etc., we
have carefully prepar ed list and ar
ranged them somewhat in this order:
Books for children under Five Years:
Mother Goose
Cinderella
The Three Bears
Little Red Riding Hood
Hop-O'MyThumb
Scudder's Fables and Folk Stories
| n the Childs World
Small Songs for Small Singers
Cat and Stories
Bible Stories
The Good Fairy and the Dummies
The Story Hour
The Story Land
BOYS
Mother Goose
The Book of the Zoo
The Book of the Farm
The Moo-Cow Book
Our Dog Friends
Fables and Folk Stories
Grimm's and Andersons Fairy Tales
Stories Mother Nature Told Her Chill
dren
AEsop's Fables
A Child's Garden of Verses
Bible Stories
No attempt has been made to make
the list exhaustive, this would be i'm
possible. They are sufficiently full, we
think, to supply reading for many
days and we would be pleosed to re-
ceive the opinion of school patrons as
to the selection. The division here
according TO sex is for convenience;
after the earlier years of childhood
boys and girls read largely the same
books. In the next issue we shall
give those for children from five to ten
years of age.
