Did you tackle the trouble that came your
way
With resolute heart and cheerful
Or hide your face from the Eight OF day
With craven soul and fearfulf
OLA troubles a ton or a troubles an ounce
Or "a trouble is what you make it
1t isn't the fact that you're hit that counts
But only-how did you take it,
Mr.. Burton Mann called Saturday
morning to talk over his school. He
is trying to make up for lost time
with his school before the first BIZ

Remember the first bi-monthly ex-
animation will be given Friday, No

houses in the county. We would be

would be pleased to have them ap-
point some one in the district to be
present and assist the teacher on that
day, November Sd.

The Emporia Gazette says: The
Emporia School Board deserves the
support of every good citizen of this
town in the fight on fraternities and
sororities in the High School. These
organizations are bad--all bad. They
breed snobs and cads. They KEEP
children's minds from their books
they set up false ideals and they ruin
boys and girls for life in democrat
ic community, by making them vain,
selfish, mean and inconsiderate of the
feelings of others. Character counts
for something in this world and thest
High School organizations are max
ing law breakers and law evaders
What does the world think of a mar
or woman who keeps the letter o.
the law and not the spirit of thu
law? 1t is exceedingly regrettable
that anyone should advise children
to break the statute by mere quib
BILE.
