TO PAY employees BIMDNTHLY

The city employees may receive
their pay twice month in the
future. The matter was brought up
by Councilman Nation at the Mon.
day evening meeting of council,
who as chairman of the finance
committee stated his belief that a
payment but once month worked
a hardship on some of the lesser
paid employees. No motion was
passed but the councilmen tacitly
agreed to endorse the more frequent
payment.
A communication from city
cashier Roberts asking that girl
assistant be hired permanently for
help in the work ofhis Office was
referred to the finance committee
for future recommendation. The
increase of clerical work incident to
the use of water meters by the city
was the explanation of the need of
such an assistant.

Professors Lost To
Junior Class Team
Girls Contest Was Close---All
Three Games Interested
the Spectators.

Before good sized crowd OF
thoroughly enthusiastic spectators,
members of the high school faculty
and students played three interest
ing games of basket ball at the rink
Friday night. The juniors defeated
the faculty squad composed OF
Professors Cannon. Annadown,
Dickinson : Bassett, Hoss aud Land
by the rather unmerciful score OF
90 to a. The game however was a
live exhibition of basket ball and
the score is somewhat misleading as
the professors made game fight
and kept their opponents on the
jump every minute of the play. The
juniors Jared only slightly better than
their instructors in the number of
fouls called against them. Miller
and Gray were the star basket tos-
sers for the class team.
The game between the soph-
omores and a freshman senior team
was vigorously contested but went
to the second year boys with a 80
to II score. If the losers had been
able to keep Clyde Budd out of the
game their score would have looked
better as he Individually secured I9
points for his team.
The closely contested game was
between the girls teams with the
junior and seniors against the fresh
man and sophomores. The ball
was passed back and forth across
the court many times for each team
and neither team was able TO secure
a decided lead. Only in the last
few minutes of play was the upper
class team able 10 get the basket
which brought the score up to IA to
13 in their favor.

to impart its spirit to the children as
they learn the words. Illustrating
his point Prof. Searson recited the
simple poem "The Sculpture Boy"
and explained that the sentiment of
the selection was certain to il huence
the child for good If presented to him
with proper enthusiasm on the part
of the teacher. Professor Searson
also emphasized the Bible as source
Of the greatest literature that can be
studied. He is now engaged IN writ
ing a set of reading books which will
present his ideas. That
Professor Searson made no charge for
his address other than his travelling
expenses was further illustration Of
the largeness of the man.
