Carnival Postponed

The carnival which was to have been
held in Cresco beginning sday,
Sept. oath. has been postponed and the
facts in connection with the matter are
these: The Capital City Amusement
Co., which had been secured has a
large number Of high class attractions
and is one of the.best known carnival
companies in the west. However, un-
foreseen conditions make it impossible
for two of their attractions to appear
on dates advertised. The business men
of Cresco refused to accept part of a
show, insisting on having all of it or
none. But the project has not been
abandoned. Additional funds have
been pledged to secure better attrac-
tions and the dates Cor bigger and
greater carnival and exhibition of fly
ing by noted aviators will be announ-
ced as soon as arrangements can be
completed. Watch for new dates.

tained some time ago, and shows a
steady and healthy increase, with de-

Robert Daley of last years graduat-

ing for another years work. This
makes seven postgraduate students in
the Cresco High School, which is per-
haps better showing in this regard
than that of of any other high school
in the State.
One thing worthy of notice this year
is q continuance of the good spirit that
has been manifested in the Cresco
High School during the past few years
Every pupil seems to be here for busi-
ness and anxious to obtain all 0that he
can out of his High School. All arc
proud, as We have right to be, of the
Cresco High School, and are trying
hard to maintain the high reputation
that we have already established.
A glance at the enrolment in the diff
ferent High School subjects that are
offered during the first semester Is in
interesting. 1t will be noticed that
the tendancy is toSselect science and
history courses rather than that of
foreign laguages. This is in keeping
with the modern idea of securing q
practical education that is sweeping
over the country at the present time.
Three years sgo, for instance, phys
ics and chemistry had to be given in
alternate years in order to get classes
large enough to make it worth while.
At that time Cicero and Virgil classes
were we'll attended. Now the situation
is reversed. 1t has become necessary
to alternate Cicero and: Virgil while the
physics and chemistry classes are over.
