BACK FROM FRANCE
J. N. Hartert Returns to Mineral
Point After a Four Months
Visit Near Paris.

J. n Hartert, accompanied by his
niece Miss Eugenie Flies. arrived here
from Etampes, France, Wednesday,
Oct. :.
On May Is, last, Mr.. Hartert went to
New York and on May 26 sailed on the
June /. He remained in France four
months, the greater part of the time at
Etampes, which city is situated about
forty five miles south of Paris. He
frequently visited in Paris. and viewed
with pleasure the many beautiful build
ings. the we'll paved streets, and the
high walled gardens filled with all
kinds of luscious fruits. He says that
everywhere he went he found the
French people courteous and very ac-
commodating. He remained in Etampes
up to Sept. 81 The war feeling there
was intense. Lines of German soldiers
were within forty miles of Etampes.
No persons We're allowed to depart from
the city until the authorities We're fully
satisfied as to their purposes. For a
time during his stay in France, Mr..
Hartert could buy copies of French and
other newspapers, but so great a cen
sorship was placed on the press that the
papers contained only scant news of the
war. He found in The New York Daily
Herald, so long as sales of the paper
were allowed, the fullest accounts of
the conflict that was raging near him.
Mr.. Hartert, having decided to re-
turn to Mineral Point, with his niece
he set sail from Havre in a French
vessel on Sunday, and arrived in New
York at p. m. on the following Satur-
day.

EVENING SESSION OF THE
HIGH SCHOOL.

The high school is often called the Peoples
College, 1t most unfortunate that the peo-
pie, who support the high school, entrust their
children to its influences and teaching, and are
at heart, most intensely interested i'll its welfare
should be unable to visit that school, when it is
doing regular work, without sacrificing their
valuable time and their professional business i'll
terests. This unfortunate situation seems to
exist so far, at least as the business and pro-
fessional men of the community are concerned.
To overcome this difficulty and to provide all
opportunity whereby those who are regularly en-
gagged i'll activities that they not we'll leave
during the day, arrangements have been made or
holding evening session of the high school
Recitations will be suspended next Thursday
afternoon, Oct. 22 to allow students and teachers
to prepare their work for the following day.
Beginning at o'clock i'll the evening, the
regular program of the afternoon will be carried
out, closing at 9:15. All parents and other in
terested patrons, who haven't time to visit the
school during the regular sessions, are invited
to visit the classes at these hours This is no
entertainment. The regular work of the classes
will be carried out i'll the regular way.
Ask the students about the afternoon program
They tell you what classes will recite, when
and where. E. c. GOTHAM, Supt.
