Let us all get together and become

good and be decided benefit to our
schools.
High School Athletics
At the beginning of the school year,
the chances for successful season
of ath' letics in connection with our
schools seemed rather small. How
ever, some of the boys, most inter
ested got to work with the result that
a fairly good foot ball team was or
ganized. The boys played four games,
winning two and losing two, which is
good record for beginners. At the
close of the foot ball season, the boys
and girls got busy with basket ball.
With diligent practice and skillfu]
coaching, we soon had two splendid
first teams and loyal second teams
with which to practice. Of the six
games played, the girls won five, and
of the seven played by our boys, four
were Won I cannot refrain from re
marking on the lady-like and gentle
manly conduct always shown by both
teams making them credit to the
school they so well represented.
We have every reason to expect q
good girls team next year, but it will
be more difficult to get up a strors
boys team, since some who vii
doubtless wish to play, will be barred
on account of bad habits. The DO,
who expects to engage in athletic
contests in our schools, will be wise
if he leaves tobacco absolutely alone
Those who have made up our frs
team have been free from the PERM
cious habit
J. Regarding Promotions.
i. The question of promotions is per
haps the most difficult with which t.
deal, in connection with school work
Some schools follow the plan of pro
noting practically everyone to the
next higher grade or class each year
i This is the method that offers the
least resistance and is usually quite
acceptable to the pupils and many
parents who have the notion that a
teachers principal duty is to get chill
dren thru school in given length Of
time, whether they have mastered. The
work or not.
i 1t is easy to graduate from such &
school but graduation from school
with such a system doesn't near
much.
i Our plan shall always be to promote
only those who are capable Of doing
the work in the next higher grade, TO.
we believe it is the rankest injustice
Ito promote a pupil into a grade whers
the work is too difficult to grasp
Those who cannot grasp the worl

verance and habits uniting them for
school work
True many who would like to COM
plete course, but are compelled to
leave school and go to work, succeed,
for such ones will educate themselves.
Few, however, who having the oppor
ptunity to get an education, waste time
and lose the opportunity, ever make
a decided success
The same kind of perseverance, en-
ergy and stick-to-it-ive-ness that cause
a hoy or girl to complete successfully
a prescribed course of study, will
cause the same boy or girl to complete
with honor a course in the great
school of life.

Gently graduated are lower down CT

The Glass of 1911
The class of 1911 will be the larg-
est that has yet graduated from the
Warren schools We are reasonably
certain that eighteen will complete
the work satisfactorily and receive
their diplomas.
Those expected to complete the
regular high school course are: Ste
phen ,Bren, Robert Bren, Walter Lar
son, Werner Nelson, Laura Powell,
Carl Holm and Florence Lewis.
The following Seniors are taking
the normal course for their last years
high school work and. will receive
teachers certificates in addition to
their high school diplomas.
Mildred Johnson, Mildred Malberg
Edith Head, Frances Lindberg, Nellie
Seign, Emma Pihlstrom, Emily Vav
rina and Howard Magladry.
Misses Edna and Pearl Grange and
| Able Bren (post graduates) will com
plete the normal work emitting then
to first grade teachers certificates.
Two others should complete the
work this year but their records Al
present are such that we are not war
, ranted in including them in the grad
uating class.
Miss Laura Powell has an average
of SO per cent for the four years higL
school work and is the class valedic
torian.
Miss Emma Pihlstrom ranks SECOND
land will therefore represent her class
as salutatorian.
J, Miss Mildred Johnson deserves spe

, tenth percent of tying for second

the true type and the boys are gentle

eide to do.

set for our school exhibit at the hig1
school building.
We surely expect every one in the
lefty to attend this exhibit where the
