EDITORIAL

The promise of an excuse from study
above A in all studies for four weeks
ought to be an incentive to good
marks. An average of A ought to
have some reward and we are glad Mr..
Smith thinks so.
The winter term commenced on
Monday with a perfect attendance
in the high school. This is a
noteworthy fact considering the
thanksgiving which every scholar
probably participated in. 1t is hoped
that the Christmas vacation will not
have any worse effect on the pupils of
the high school.
A TRIP TO WASHINGTON
Every few years trip to Washing.
ton is taken by some of the schools

of which is $50, includes a short stay
in Boston. four hours in Philadelphia.
two davs in New York and four DAYS

winter vacation, it gives the students
of Orleans high school chance to go.
