SCHOOL NOTES
Breezy Items of Our School by
the Normal Instructor

The Normal Department has
already begun the Teachers Re-
view work that is so necessary
for successful examination. We
have ordered special books for
this work, and much is expected
Of our pupils from now on until
the May examination. Some one
thoughtlessly started the report
that the last two months Of the
Normal Department would only
be a preparation for commence
ment week, and some Of our pu-
pills acting on the report in good
faith arranged to go home before
we knew the report had been
started; but we want to say here
and now, that every week, every
day, and every hour Of school
time will be spent in the hardest
work of all the year from now
till the close. 1t is no part of
our intention to slight our stud
les for the preparation for Com
mencement. And we take this
opportunity to say to all who are
thinking Of taking the May eX-
animation that here is the place
for you to come if you want the
best preparation that is possible
for long experience to give. We
have made a speciality of this
kind of work for a number of
years, and we feel that we are
as we'll prepared to aid you as
as any one in this end of the
State.
While our county superintend-
ent, Mr.. Barker, was in Frank
fort last week attending a meet
! ing of the county superintend-
ents of the State, he was inform
ed by StatelSuperintendent Ham,
lett that the examinations this
year would be harder than they
were last year; so the best thing
lfnr al Whoare- thinking ee tax talks-
ing the examination is : to make
each minute count from now un-
til the time comes for the final
test. If you are not a student of
the Normal Department of the
West Liberty High School, now
is a good time to enroll and gel
the benefit of the special work
that we are now giving
On next Saturday there will bt
a game of base ball played on thu
West Liberty diamond betweel
, Sandy Hook and the school team
and we want everybody to com,
and see the game and enjoy on
good whole afternoon. From
what we hear of the team that
coming, we think they are a
clean, honest boys and we wan
to see how we'll we can trea
them while they are with us
They will come from Sand
Hook in the forenoon and G
back in the afternoon; so we wi
will have to call the game at ON
o'clock for their benefit. The
=, have asked us to do so, and W
. will have the game begin exactl
at one. So don't stay ava
thinking it will be about two Q
three in the afternoon, as mos
games are, but come at one an
5 see the first game of the HON
+ team this year,
We had teams and men ;
work on the athletic field all da
Saturday and got the old ball d
. amond in excellent condition, ar
made the little boys a good di
mond, and also a tennis court f,
;, the girls benefit. While it
" primarily for the girls, we wis
to have it understood that {

~ when their turn" comes, al
-" no one set" will be allowed
