There will be various entertainments
at college which will demand evening
dress of the fair student, but simple,
pretty evening frock of modest style
will be the requirement, not a fluffy,
coquettish dance frock of tulle with a
daring decolletage.
Soft pussy willow taffeta in blue,
raspberry or oleander pink or in some
dainty shade of lavender, buff or pale
green will make dainty frock. The
skirt may have scalloped frills, and
chiffon or lace may be used for the
bodice, provided its style is not too
decollete for the student.
Pictured here is a charming evening
gown for a young girl. 1t is fashioned
Of plain and embroidered net. An In
sertion of black MORE ribbon is applied
to the foundation skirt. The tunic is o.
embroidered net clasped by a black
satin girdle. The elbow sleeves are fir
ished by frills. The little Dutch cap or
net makes a charming accessory to the
costume.

On Good Books

When, one by one, a loving stu
dent has gathered from all depart
ments of human learning a multitude
Of books they are not alabaster vases
filled with the sweetest perfume of
the human SOUL they are living
creatures; they are companions; they
have received the homage of our best
hours. We have hung our hearts up
on them, and as they sprang from the
noblest parts of their authors they
are clothed with the noblest associa-
lions of our own lives"
Nothing gives more serenity TO old
age and so fortifes against inward or
outward woes as a collection Of good
books. The young couple who are
wasting their income in a mad effort
to keep pace with all that shifting
fashions demand in clothes could in
sure far greater happiness for the flu
ture by investing in a modest library
as they go along.-Henry Ward
Beecher.

SOCIETY VS.. SCHOOL

The High School stands, first Of ALL
for wholesome work. This is the
critical time of year for students in
our high schools. These days are
deciding whether or not the school
year is going TO be success. Almost
every student who is regular and
faithful in his work will succeed. Very
seldom do boys and girls fail because
their school work is too hard very
seldom is the work injurious to their
health. There is, however, a practice
which causes failure and undermines
the health of pupils, girls especially.
Quite generally there is too much OF
society" outside of school Children
are permitted to dissipate when they
should be at home and asleep. Teach
ers often hesitate to discourage this
practice for they do not wish TO inter-
fere in matters which belong to the
home. Parents on the other hand are
often under the mistaken impression
that these society" affairs are looked
upon with favor by the teachers. The
parents submit, therefore, against their
own better judgment. OF course boys
and girls should have opportunity for
social intercourse. properly directed.
Teachers as well as parents know
that The care in this matter is,
however, mainly the parents respon-
sibility. State Superintendent Fred
l.. Keller would impress parents most
earnestly that they keep their chill
dren at home evenings-especially if
they are TO do a days work at school
the next day. First OF all, the High
School stands for wholesome work.

SUSPENSION OF PUPILS

The Department of Public Instruc-
ton is often asked questions in regard
to the suspension of pupils. The
school law gives to the district board
the right to authorize or order the
suspension or expulsion from the
school OF any pupil guilty of gross
misdemeanor or persistent disobed-
fence. In such cases the teacher has
the authority to suspend "a pupil
temporarily until the board can take
action on the matter. The Supreme
Court has held that it is not necessary
that a pupil be guilty of a criminal
act before he can be suspended or
expelled from school. He must be
guilty OF some malicious or wilful act
of detriment to the school and the
misconduct must be gross, something
more than a petty or trivial offense
against the rules, or he must be per-
sistent in his disobediance of the
proper and reasonable rules and reg
ulations Of the school. A pupil can
not be expelled for a careless act, no
matter how negligent, if 1t is not will
ful or malicious.

EDUCATIONAL NOTES

Patrons Of our Schools.
PRIMARY SCHOOL FUND

The improvement of rural schools
is a pressing problem in Michigan.
Most pats of the state have passed
the pioneer stage for which the old
time district school was we'll fitted
Besides reading. writing and arith-
metic, the country now needs instruc-
ton in agriculture, home making and
those things which modern develop
ment demands. Never before was
money needed for rural schools as IL
is now. The greatest help in build
ing up the rural schools is the prim-
airy school fund. This fund was
needed in pioneer days to lay the
foundations of our school system; 1t
is needed now, even more, to adjust
the school system to the new con-
dition.
