We are in receipt of copy of the
IT. c. H. s. Journal. This is their
first attempt to conduct county
High School paper and from all indi-

porLant feature of the school,
Miss Nelson was called to Ogallah,
Wednesday night on account of the
severe illness of her sister-in-law.
The Collyer teachers had the real
pleasure of listening TO some of the
musical talent given by the directors
of the music department of Fort
Hays Normal.
Prof. H. E. Malloy gave a splendid
address on the value of music in
school In his address, he showed
what a simple matter it would be to
introduce the subject, and what sur
prising results would follow.
The numbers given by those as
sisting Prof. Malloy were of miscel-
laneous nature and were presented
in very intelligent manner.
The class in physiology and hygiene
has completed a study of the Osseons

this information is being gathered
we are unable to describe. Evidently
the reporters don't know very much
about the situation; they have been
misinformed or just assumed that
such a condition did exist. However,
we offer an explanation of the situa-

board of health is financially crippled
and will make no more analysis till
the Legislature meets and makes
special appropriation for financing
same. Further, cause is not due to
general neglect of board, as they have
had some one employed TO pump wa
ter from the well at regular intervals
each day, allowing the use of fresh
supply. If parents fear any danger
of sickness they can provide the
children with small pals to bring
supply TO school.
