This week will likely be the last
issue of the Record to contain the
school notes. The Record has glad
ly offered anything up to a column
of space for these items of interest
to pupils and patrons providing the
copy can be prepared in time to
give the Record force time to
handle same without crowdng out
rush news However, Prof. Shefice
states that it is too big job to get
the notes gathered up in anything
less than day or so before our
date of publication. No doubt the
school notes are the source of some
extra work for the school authori-
ties. but they are very valuable as
means Of advertising our public
school system and keeping up the
interest of pupil and parent.
This week the Record publishes
the certificate of organization and
charter of the most-recently organ

been in active operation. The Ger

it being bought out by local par
ties. AS it now stands Stras-
burg has the most banks Of any
town in the county.
