ANXIOUS.
Al really couldn't risk los
ing your good will and friend
ship by doing that. You see 1t is
this way with little unseen things
that eat holes in bed clothing.
Each class has its peculiarities
as to what 1t likes to eat, just as
different nationalities have their
.favorite dishes. Man in his great
wisdom has discovered ut least
one thing each class is fond of
which will prove fatal to them il
eaten. But, the poison that will
kill one specie will cause another
to thrive.
Recommending remedy for
one of these classes "sight, I'M
SEEM" as il were, would be worse
than buying a "pig in a poke, +"
for i'm that event l would have
myself to blame. In this case
you would blame me, for 1 might
recommend just the thing that
would cause your unseen annoy
ance to thrive and multiply.
First, find the troublesome
cause, and l can probably give
you an exterminatOr.

verse weather conditions The chill
dren OF all the schools showed splen-
did training and at times 1t was diff
ieult for those looking on to detect a
difference in the work OF some OF the
various classes.
Much credit should be given the
physical director. Miss Ruth Darling.

yesterday show edthat her ambitious
and untiring efforts were bearing
fruit. She had the attention OF the
children at all times and her slight
est commands were answered in
stantly.

grades received high marking not
only because OF the excellence OF
their drilling and step formation. but
also because OF the splendid compei-
tive spirit which they manifested.

added much to the appearance Of the
class. They were graceful in forma.
tion and uniform in drill.
