Now aud thea We hear it said
that so and so is afraid to have
electric lights installed. For the
benefit Of those we wish to say
that house properly wired is much
safer SO far as lightning is con-
cerned and electric lights are GER
tainly safer than an old coal oil
lamp which is liable to explode at
any time. Don't let the danger
part worry you IN the least and
besides the Mt Vernon plant is
only $50 volt direct current which
will not kill or injure even t though
one gets the full benefit of the en-
tire load The Mt Vernon Power
Co. is anxious to have every house
In Mt. Vernon OH its lines. Tho
only comparatively few houses
are not wired, yet the company
is anxious to get those. Ask
our neighbor who has lights and
see what he says about them. The
cost is small.

nuttig School Report.

The Huttig school opened Mon day with larger attendance than ever. Wednesday Miss Ballard had 67 pupils on the roll in the first and second grades; Miss Pon- der had A in the third and fourth grades; Miss Baldwin had AZ in the fifth and sixth grades. and in the Principals room there were 24 in the seventh, eighth and ninth grades. As there are not enough desks for all the pupils, in some cases two have been given a single seat for awhile.
 Most of the children had enrolled Saturday. and Monday the teach kers were able to give their time to organizing the classes. The first days of the week were taken up in finding out how many books were needed by the children, and on Wednesday we were able to make out an order for all that are need ed at present. These books will be shipped in time for the children to get them for Monday morning, when work will begin in earnest.
 Laboratory work in agriculture. botany zoology and other sciences requires the student to make draw ings showing much of his work. As teacher of mathematics and science we have found that one of the greatest of the students trou- bles has been his inability to do this, because he has not been taught drawing in the lower grades. So following the lead of the better schools. we are placing drawing in the grades. We will not teach it to make artists, but keep in mind the future need of the pupil when he takes up laboratory work. It will be given on alternating days with pennmanship.
 It is too bad that our report of attendance for the first three days shows 5 tardies on Tuesday and 10 on Wednesday. Too much cannot be said against tardiness. The tardy pupil mssee the first study period and recitation. In nearly all cases he takes an extra year in his school life making up the time lost, or graduates at the foot of his class. Frequently he becomes dis couraged or loses interest and drops out of school entirely.
 Let us all be punctual. Let us all pull togerher and make this the best school we have ever had.
