PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES

 The high school girls defeated the Normal girls at basketball Saturday night by the score of IS to 10. Our girls have good team and expect to be strong contenders for the state championship honors.
 New pupils enter every week. Old ones drop out, but on the whole our attendance increases. The total en- rollment for the year now stands at h569; for the present month it is 534. Sam Joslin and Charley Hamilton came back to school this week, after an absence of several weeks.
 The expression class is working hard at the play to be presented Fri day evening.
 Bro. Wilmington conducted devo- ton exercises at chapel Monday and afterwards made a rousing talk on "study."
 The efficiency tests made throughout the grades show very unsatisfactory results. These tests are not examina- tions. They are rather lists of easy questions that the pupil should be able to answer off-hand or to solve without the aid of pencil and paper. But we know where our weakness is and can work at the problem more intelligent ly. Having diagnosed the case, we are ready to begin treatment. What is the trouble? you ask. The trouble is that our pupils are not thorough in the fundamentals. They do not add and subtract readily and accurately. They do not know denominate num- bers we'll enough to handle them ef- Actively. They are awkward and in accurate in the use of fractions. They spell poorly and do not know the meaning of the words they find on ev- cry page of their books. Chiefly, they lack the power to read we'll. Because they cannot grasp the meaning clear ly, all their work suffers.
 We are not complaining, nor do we wish to advertise the weakness of our pupils. They are what we as teachers have made them. We are giving this to the public that the patrons may know. just where we stand and what

NO POISON IS FOUND
 IN BYRkET1'S STOMACH
SECOND HUSBAND OF SHIREY'S WIDOW DIED OF UNKNOWN
 CAUSE.

Little Rock, Dec. 12.-Dr. Vim. F. Mangledorf, state chemist, has render ed report to J. C. Land, coroner of Lawrence county, at Walnut Ridge, that no trace of poison was found in the stomach of o. O. Byrkett. The chemist worked for a number of days on the stomach, but every test came up an absolute blank, so the death of young Byrkett must have been from natural causes. Byrkett died suddenly while seeping in a chair, and on ta- ble nearby was partially empty whiskey bottle. It was thought that Byrkett had been poisoned
 The first test showed large quan- tity of formaldehyde in the stomach, and Dr. Mangledorf wrote back to se- cure further information, being in- formed that this was in the embalm- ing fluid which was placed in the stomach.
 Byrkett was the second husband of Faire Belle Hill-Shirey- -Byrkett. The tragic death of A. w. Shirey, the Min turn recluse who left the bulk of his fortune to the Odd Fellows, was a sensation a few years ago, and the identity of the assassin has never been revealed. The young wife was separated from Shirey at the time of his death, but not divorced. After the settlement with the young widow was made by the Odd Fellows, she mar ried Byrkett, and was apparently happy with him. Mrs. Byrkett was away from home on visit at the time of her husbands death.

HOSE co. SAVES
 BUSINESS BLOCK

What would have doubtless resulted in very serious fire with the proba- ble destruction of the entire block of business buildings on West Oak street, in which the Log Cabin Demo- crat is located, was prevented by the prompt work of the local hose compa- nies, aided by an ample water pres sure early Saturday night. The fire originated in defective flue in the rear of the building owned by J. H.. Hartje and c. s. McHenry, in which R. Nj. Clibourn had opened a grocery business only two days previously. When discovered flames were pouring out of the roof, the whole rear end of the building being in blaze. The volunteer firemen, however, had the blaze under control a few minutes after their arrival, although the build ing was badly damaged, it being nec- essary to cut through the roof to ex- tinguish the fire, which had crept be- tween the roof and ceiling nearly to the front of the building. The own CTS estimate their loss at about $500, which is covered by insurance. Dam- age to Mr. Clibourn's stock amounted to about $50, with no insurance.

Nellie QuigIey made mayonnal5

dressing, experimenting with Va
~iOus oils to show the texture ami
thickcning power Of the ditlorclA
kinds.
Fannie PodoIsky and EIo;sr
Peach made frozen, custard, and
Lisetta Taylor and Helen Thomp-
son prepared the chocolate saura
for it.
Miss Goessling announced that
owing to the number in the class il
would be necessary to work in two
groups. The girls that had to u.s.
stoves worked in the laboratory,
and the second group, under Miss
McDanieIs' supervision, prepared
the salad dressings and sandwiches
in the lunch room.
When the cooking began, III"
guests stood in interested groups
and watched the scientific manner
in which the girls went to work. As
the recipes were given out, Miss
Gocssling asked questions to dem
onstrate that the girls understood
the principles underlying what
they were about to undertake, and
they showed that they did by the
way in which they went about their
work. The preparation Of the may
OnnaiSo dressing was most inter-
esting to many.
AS each task was completed all
the cooking utensils were washed
and put in their proper places, so
that in a comparatively short time
the laboratory was in perfect order
with a delicious array Of biscuit,
bread, cakes and cookies upon the
tables. In all Of the laboratory
work the instructors insist upon
the immediate care of the utensils
used, in this way saving both time
and energy, and adding very much
to the neatness and efficiency Of the
kitchen.
After all the food had been pre-
pared the guests were seated at the
tables, which had been arranged by
Pauline Clay and Mary Dennison,
and it was served to them by the
girls who had prepared it. A de-
lightful social hour was spent. The
girls were very happy in the ex-
pressions of appreciation of their
work and Miss Goessling and Miss
Mcdaniel were congratulated upon
the success Of the afternoon. The
mothers Of the girls were especially
generous in their approval of the
course, and it was revelation to
those who had not been acquainted
before with what the school is do
ing along this line.
Miss Goessling plans to have one
more public demonstration before
the end of the term, and it will un-

Amopos OF the recent discussion
! naoore the Newark Board Of Ldu-
cation. concerning the introduction
Of Manual Training and Domestic
Science in the school, the following
account of the public lesson given
the domestic science department OF
me Wilmington High School IS OF
special interest:
The demonstration extending
from three to five o'clock was un-
der the direction Of Miss Jane v.
GocSsling, head Of the department
and Miss Elizabeth Mcdaniel, as
sStant instructor.
The guests inspected the lunch
rooms and the domestic science la
boratory before the lesson began,
and they were very much pleased
10 see what has been done to make
the lunch hour for the students at
tractivc. The new counters from
which the food is served, and the
SD0tlcss white enamelcd tables and
the stools were very much admired.
In the lunch room the tables were
already laid. roses, orange blossoms
and wild flowers being used in their
decoration. This is considered by
Miss Goessling to be phase OF
the work second only in import
aHcc to the preparation Of the food,
and every opportunity is given to
the girls to 90 through the entire
process Of both getting a meal and
serving it properly. At a quarter
before three Miss Gocssling sum
moucd the guests to the laboratory
and gave the first lesson.
Much speculation attached to the
assignment of the various tasks to
be accomplished, and the girls them
selves were anxious until the last
moment to know in what particular
line each was to have the oppor
tunity to demonstrate her efficiency
AS Miss Goessling made the an
homcrments, each group went to
work iii a thoroughly trained and
buSincss-like manner. Miss Grace
BaIfour and Mary Davis made
white bread; Lydia Cloward and
Elizabeth Taylor, nut bread; Paul
me Clay and Nora Smith, Dorothy
RuSSel and Sara Abramson, al
mond cakes; Dorothy Russell,
katherine Raymond, Mary Denni-
son and Irene Lenderman, tea bis
cut; Rebecca Altman and Mabel
BieSt, brown cookies; cocoa, Kath-
&rlne SelOver and Florence Walker.

banana, pimento, lettuce and or

their dressings, by Helen Merton,

cLEAN-uP DAY ADVICE.

Hartford, which is having Clean Up Week. in imitation of Canaan's Clean Up Day, promulgates the following ex- eellent advice to all citizens. It applies equally well to Canaan. Take due mo- tice. fellow citizens, and govern your selves accordingly:
 See that your school district does it's duty. Get the rubbish in the. street on your day. The city teams will do the rest. Get busy, tell your neighbors.
 Put papers in barrels or bundles Tie up. mattresses. Remove old iron beds and bed springs, boots and shoes. Throw cut tin cans' Haul out the old tin roofing.
 Have no bad smells. Clean out the cellars. If your cellar was flooded, sprinkle with lime. Dirt breeds disease.
 Manure piles are full of disease. Get rid of them.
 Do not let the children in the next yard get ahead of yoa. Make Hartford the cleanest city in the country. Make your yard the cleanest in Hartford.
