Up Work.
NEW paddock PLAN.
School Board Approves Of
Change at Manual.
Athletics IL Six Hundred Tick
cts Are Sold.

Action was taken by the board of
education Monday night designed to
put the clamps" on those high school
students who form the habit of alb
senting themselves from classes when
ever the spirit moves them to do so.
In other words, they will be required
to make up the work lost and will
probably be summoned to spend an
afternoon with dear teacher"
superintendent L. D. Whittemore
stated that heretofore the students of
the manual training school have been
furnishing padlocks for their lockers,
with the result that in some cases
the cheap articles purchased have been
tempered with and belongings of the
owners taken out. He recommended
that the school board furnish the pad
pupils of rs cents when key is given
them. The committee on supplies was
given power to act in the matter.
High School Athletics.
If the teachers committee reports
favorably, the school authorities Will
be authorized to have high school ath-
letics contingent this season upon the
sale of 500 season tickets at a dollar
each. This would put the sports" of
the institution on paying basis and
would prevent the loss of time which
the sale of tickets for each individual
contest would necesSitate. The tick
cts would be good for at least one de-
bate aside from the athletic contests.
A checking system at the high
school was sanctioned. Those who
have hung their garments on hooks in
the building have had the occasional
sad experience of finding that the
pockets had been relieved of their con-
tents. For a year or two check stand
has been maintained attended to by
students and charge of rs cents q
term made for its privileges for those
who have cared to take advantage OF
the protection afforded their personal
property. The board simply approved
the system.
Superintendent Whittemore expressed
himself as being pleased with the progress
which has been made in remodeling and
! that it IS probable that all will be in readl-
ness for the opening of school September
