HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Work in Domestic Science was
begun in the grades Wednesday
and in the High Thursday.
The following Senior officers were
elected at the first class meeting:
Pres, Kenneth White; Vice Pres,
Herbert Loucks; Secy., Margaret
Smith; Treas, John Chapman.
Practice work in football was be-
gun the first afternoon of school,
and prospects are bright for a
strong team. Galihad, Menomonie,
Hastings and St. Paul Central High
are the probable games to be
played on the local gridiron.
The Freshman class numbers
forty-two. OF this mum Der two
score and two forgot to go 10 class
the very first day and even now a
lone Freshman may occassionlly be
seen asking the superintendent
where he is to go for the Civics
class.
School started Monday with an
increased attendance in all depart
ments. The High School enroll
ment to date is 127 as against 124
at the close of the second week last
year. Some of the regular students
are late in entering, for good rea-
sons, and there is the probability
of more tuition pupils, so the en-
rollment should reach the 140 mark
during the year.
A plan of cooperation between
the Public Schools and the Normal
is now in operation. A specially
prepared teacher has been placed
in charged of two grades Miss
Flood, who has been primary and
intermediate Supervisor in the city
schools of Duluth and Minneapolis,
will now devote her whole time to
these two grades. She will be as
sisted by three teachers from the
Normal school. These three as.
sistants are experienced teachers
who have taught either in the prac-
tice classes of the Normal or in
public schools elsewhere. They re-
main for complete half day ses-
sion and for no less a period than
ten weeks. The course of study
and the teaching of these two
grades is under the direct supervi-
sion of Mr.. Almy, the same as the
other grades of the building. Miss
Kenety, Supervisor of Domestic
Science in the Normal School will
take charge of the Domestic Sci.
ence work in the Public Schools so
that the work will be carried on
this year with no cost to the Dist
riot other than that of equipment
and supplies. Prof. Wickland will
train the High School chorus and
Boys Glee Club and Mr.. Howard
the orchestra.

Pay Homage To Missionaries
Reception for MIR. and Mrs. Caldwell at Con-
gregationaI Church Sept

From the outside it was only a
common thing-anyone could do
it-but within, one felt the tone of
something unusual, thought
behind each plan, a PRAYER behind
each thought. Few churches have
the privilege of sending one of their
number to Mission lands. This
privilege is ours.
The parlors were made beautiful
with vines and flowers, not spring
flowers with their dainty colorinq
and sweet perfume, nor even June
roses with their hearts of gold, but
autumn flowers that have drunk
long of the suns rays until their
brightness has been reflected in the
deep puppies and fitting
emblem of the friendships that will
reach from America to Africa.
After the greetings and serving
Mr. Earl Whitcomb, accompanied
by Mr. c. A Smith with his violin,
sang Carrie Jacobs Bonds "A Per-
feet day" Truely friends must
part" but memory has painted
with colors that never fade" Away
off in Africa Esther will find these
true.
Prof. Wickland sang "Bendemere
Stream" responding with an encore,
Carrie Jacob Bonds Sunshine"
That is more philosophy for en-
lightened America, as we'll as for
darkest Africa" If you feel glum,
try TO Look for the flowers
in your path, you will find them if
try"
To Mr.. Gray's words of welcome
and request for an outline of the
work in Africa, Mr.. Caldwell replied
in very few words, Better tell
what you have done when you take
your armor off than what you are
going to do when you put it on"
Let the Missus talk" This may
have been huge joke for the men
but Mrs. Caldwell was equal to the
occasion and did talk to Us of her
life and hopes.
Mr.. Gray spoke of the tie that
binds Africa to the other parts of
world. Mr.. Spencer bid them Gods
speed to that hot country, but
keep COOL" THE biggest thing in
the world is Christianity, the big
gest thing in Christianity is Mis-
sions."
During the singing of "Blest be
the tie that Binds" the young la
dies of Mrs. Tozer's Sunday school
class gathered quietly around Mr..
and Mrs. Caldwell, and at it's close
gave them thermos bottle and
cups with the presentation poem
by one of the girls.
thermos bottle we give to you
As a token OF friendship strong and true;
May it quench your thirst along the way,
And lesson the doctors bills you pay.
We chose it not for its beauty or grace,
| B t its power to help III needy place,
An emblem, in part, of the mission grand
Which takes you and yours to far away land.
AS you and your helpmate labor and pray,
Bringing comfort and joy to souls far away,
May this friendly bottle do it's part
IL bringing you comfort and strength OF heart
From Mrs. Tozer and her Sun
day School girls who were Esther
classmates.
This closed the evening as plan
ned, but the guests fingered, hes
it ting to say the word "Goodby."
God grant II may be Till we meet
again"

THE
WISE

nON'T be a pessimist. A pes
- simist is never wise. He
only sees the other fellows
Acknowledgement his own. The
average merchant is a pessimist
about the parcel post He sees
in it only an advantage to the
mail order house. But If he
would look a little further he
would see in it possibilities for
his own development hitherto
unsupported.
By means of it he can reach
every customer within fifty
miles of him more cheaply. more
quickly and more satisfactorily
than any mail order house in a
big city. He should hasten to
make the buyers in this territory
acquainted with this fact. Then
he should back up his advertised
claims for his goods with abso-
lutte fidelity. The sequel will be
inevitable success.

The crowd which watched the
auto and motorcycle races at the
aamline fair track last Saturday
generally pronounced the program
an exceptionally fine one," the
exception being on account of the
fact that several thrilling accidents
occurred, in which the machines
were smashed and the drivers
escaped death by the most mirac-
ulous good luck. Five drivers, two
in autos and three on motorcycles,
we're thrown from their machines
during the afternoons program,
and the accidents occurred when the
machines were going at the rate of
from so to IS miles per hour, but no
one was seriously injured. The
most sens ational of the wrecks
was when the Mason car struck the
fence at a speed of IS miles an hour
and turned over three times in the
air. Ridenbecker, the driver,
walked from the wreck TO the start
ing line and drove another car in
the next race

Men and their action make history, no
matter whether in the field of state,
church or base ball. To follow the life
work of an individual is to learn history.
However, the individual does not occupy
the stage alone. for there are other and
perhaps greater characters more or less
intimately connected with the life of the
hero" and they and their doings must
be considered In the present work
twenty players are made the subject of
short letters, embracing a narration of
the national pastime from its very in
ception. All that is interesting and in
structive in base ball will naturally be
touched upon, so that at times the nero
will be entirely ignored. The first sub
ject Will be Tommy Bond. who was at the
birth of the National League.
Although not considered as being among
the irst-class luminaries of the base ball
armament. Tommy Bond can be classed
among the successful pitchers He flour

ginning to get out of it's swaddling

appropriate, because in Bonds early days
bail players wore long pants of the kind
now worn by tennis and golf players.

OF medicine in one of the local uni

place in the finals A quotation from Mr..
Guerras letter to the referee giving his
reasons for this action is as follows:
Now thar the medical faculty has nearly
doubled the work of the senior class. it
would be practically impossible for me
TO carry on five games with the care and
thoroughness that playing against such
masters as the winners of the other Sec
tons would demand. So l would like to
ask that you allow me to decline tho
privilege of entering the finals. as I
feel unable. under the circumstances, to
give my opponents the quality of play
that they have the right to expect in the
final round of such an excellent tourney"
Five players are therefore left in the
struggle for The Stars cup and the cor
respondence championship Of the District.

In order that there may be no ques-
ton in the event, it has been decided
that If a tie for first place in the final
round should result, each player SO tied
shall play two games with each opponent.
and should the result of such play-off
be a tie. two more games shall be PLAYED.
and so on until conclusion shall be
