SCHOOL NOTES

Two weeks vacation. All are look
Ing forward toward rest and plenty
0e Christmas cheer.
Several Of the teachers are going to
41tend the State Teachers Association
at Boise during the second week of
vacation. The meeting promises to
be one of more than ordinary interest
to the teachers of the state.
A letter from former Principal J. B.
Griffing from Medford, Oregon, states
that all is going well with him. He
is teaching in the high school OF that
place and has under his charge the
work in Agriculture and Chemistry.
He seems to like the coast country,
but has more faith in the Snake River
valley as an agricultural possibility. He
will return to Blackfoot at the end OF
the school year and take on his ranch
work, near town.
The two concerts on the lecture
course were well attended and were all
that any one could ask in the way of
high class entertainments. The High
School Auditorium was crowded both
nights although it is capable of seat
ing more than five hundred comfor-
tably. This all goes to, show that
Blackfoot appreciates something on the
highest order in the way of musical
attractions. The next number will be
a lecture by Herald Morton Kramer.
He comes to us recommended as high
ly as was the Skoggard Company and
will give lecture equal to any ever
heard in this part of the state This
number will not be given until late in
January or early in February. The
: management deplores the fact that the
last two entertainments had to come
SO close together but this could not
be avoided as the course was purchased
SO late in the season that we were con
PEELED to take the dates that were left
open.
The gymnasium will be ready for
use after holidays. The apparatus is
being put in place this week.
The Concert people We're more than
lavish in their praises of our building
and especially of the auditorium. They
assured us that there was not another
such school building in Idaho and not
many equal to it in the West.
