ways. Some Of the schools have
passed many milestones on the
road to success some Of them more
than others but there is still
quite a stretch of road ahead for
all of them. Some need to make
their schools more attractive with
good pictures, some of the libraries
have not been chosen with refer
ence to the children in the lower
and upper grades, somc have ref
erence books out Of date that
might be exchanged by paying q
little additional for the latest re-
vised editions of the same work,
most OF them should do more to-
ward identifying the grounds, and
all should look ahead to special
courses in agriculture as soon rs
there is sufficient demand for the
work and funds to supply the de
mand.
Some of the schools have done
much by levying the minimum.
These schools could do everything
by levying a tax that would not be
felt by the people and that would
fall largely upon the railroad.
School boards are not elected to
save the money intended for the
education of the children but to
spend that money judiciously in
their behalf. The improvement Of
our school,. like other things, mast
come as growth. We cannot do it
in one day. IF we aim at the
whole target, we. may not hit the
center" But we should aim at
something definite in the improve
ment of our schools each year.
! School progress should reflect
the progress of the community in
all other lines. II we have fine
barns and fine sheds for our horses
and our sheep, VIC must have good
school houses for our children.
! The school boards mentioned
have established precedent other
school boards might do we'll to fol-
low.

Pearl Conley is the only new
stndent in the 9th and 9Th grades.
Out Of thirty pupils ii these
grades, twenty-five have been nei-1
ther absent nor tardy.
In the 5th grade, some splendid
work in map drawing has been
done during the past week. In
those Of the southeastern states, all
the products have been located in
their proper places on the maps.
The grades in Mrs Smiths and
Miss Woodbury's rooms expect to
have a program Friday afternoon.
Last Friday the seniors debated
the question:: Resolved: That
Lady Macbeth was the cause Of
Macbeth's ruin The negative
side was victorious.
So far this year there have been
no tardy marks in high school.
The teachers in the upper grades
have been supplied with copies Of
Williams mental arithmetic. Tt
is hoped that this book will facili-
tate work and increase the impor-
tance Of. oral arithmetic through
out the school. This has been
done in recognition of. the fact that
there is too much pencil work and
not enough oral work. in arithme-
tic.
At the present time che enroll
ment by grades is as follows: 1st,
80; End, "a; Sd, 20; 4th, %; 9th, II;
9th, Is; 7th, 8; 9th, z; high school,
'33; total, 178.
From time to time themes Of
high school students, written in
English work. will be published in
the News. s
The following students Of high
school are entitled to a place on
the honor roll: Clyde Guymon,
$50; Roy Harrington, 80 a; How
ard Crawford, 80; Geraldine Calvin
81 3-4b; Robert Wellington, 80 90;
Wilhelmina Calvin, Sc $3.50. In
order to gain a place ON this roll a
pupil must have an average grade
of $50 in all the subjects taken,
provided that no grade must fall
below 500. In addition to this
rank in scholarship he must have
a department Of 500.
During the second month Of
school thirteen cases Of tardiness
have been reported. Those cases
were due to. four or FIVE pupils.
There is nothing th at is more de.
moralizing to school than tardi-
ness on the part Of pupils. This is
a matter in which parents co. o.oper-
ate with teachers for the general
good of the school. The excuse
given in most of these cases Of tar.
4 diness was that the school bell was
not heard. In the morning the
bell rings at $50 a. IN. The noon
bell rings at 1:05 p. m. A pupil
who starts from home at the ring
ing Of the first bell, or even a lit
tie later, will not be tardy. Pa
, rents are urged to help the school
! in this matter by getting the pu
pills started to school in time.

Dramatic Climax to Trial In French

Coincidence-chance- plays tTemen-

puny euphemisms for X, the unknown

remarkable coincidence is brought to
public notice. A stranger incident new

Immediately upon this woman more

forward and made the following decla-
ration:
"Gentlemen OF the jury, twenty years
ago a young woman was married to
young man of the same town, who aft
erward abandoned her. Poor and dis
tressed, she was obliged to leave her
child to the care of Providence. The
child has since grown up, and the wo-

POETICAL FEATS.
Difficult Rimes Had No Terrors For
Browning or Byron.

Difficult Rimes Had No Terrors Fol-
Browning or Byron.
Poets may be baffled in their search
for rimes, but it takes a great deal to
battle the doggerel rimester. Charles
II. offered reward for a rime to
"porringer" The reward was claimed
with the following marriage announce
ment:
The Duke Of York daughter had.
He gave the Prince Of Orange her.
SO now your majesty will see
I've found rime for porringer.
Brownings preparations in rime are
probably unique in English poetry.
Here is couplet from ''Sordello'
which no minor poet would dare to
print for fear Of blasting his reputa-
ton:
Chirrups the contuma cious grasshopper;
Rustles the lizard and the cushats chirre
In the same poem he rimes "sulk-
ed with "mulct," flag" with "quag,"
"abhors" with "valvassors." But he
reached the climax surely in the cou-
plet:
You trample our beds Of ranunculus,
And you Tommy oom-for-your-un
Gle" US.
The worthy and reverend author Of
the "Ingoldsby Legends was fond Of
such rimes as:
A long yellow pinafore
Hangs down each chin afore,
or such riming gymnastics as:
At Tappington, now, I could look In the
Gazetteer,
But I'm out on visit, and nobody has It
here.
Yet in these enormities he was only
parodying Byron, who wrote:
Ye lords Of ladies intellectual
Confess II they had not henpecked you all
