School Notes
Miss Goddard Elected Principal and
Athletics Taken Up.

AT a meeting of the board Of educa-
ton on Friday evening Miss 10 Cod
dard of the science department of the
high school was elected principal.
Miss Goddard is teacher we'll fitted
for the position both by her prepera.
tion and experience. In 1911 she re-
ceived the A. B. degree from the uni
versity of South Dakota, and after a
year Of post graduate work in the
same institution was given the A. M.
degree in June 1912. Before gradual
ing at the university Miss Goddard
taught in the schools of Fall River
county, at Ardmore, and since receiv-
ing her degrees she has taught one
year in the Vermillion high school
and for the last two years in the Lang
ford high school. In selecting Miss
Goddard as principal the board OF
education recognized the fact that she
is a teacher skilled in instruction
and firm in discipline, who has al
re ady won the respect and coopera-
ton Of both pupils and teachers. The
high school is fortunate to have such
a woman at the helm.
The first three weeks Of school saw
little activity in the line OF athletics,
as most of the pupils found that they
were very much occupied with their
assigned lessons. However, after
several conferences the boys finally
decided that they would have a foot
ball team, and Monday were out in
force for the first real practice OF the
season. The regulation that all play
ers must be eligible, that is: must
have passed in four subjects the pre-
ceding semester, and must be passing
in four at the time games are played,
has reduced the squad somewhat, but
there seems to be plenty of material
for good strong team yet. Mr.. Hill
of the commercial department has
agreed to help the boys SO far as he
can, and it is thought that some Of
the football experts among the alum
nj will do some volunteer coaching
ater in the season. Ortonyille and
Appleton, Mimi, have already writ
ten for games, and Mr.. Glenn is IN
correspondence with these schools in
reference to dates and the adjustment
of conditions under which the games
are to be played.
The girls of the domestic science
department have been having lessons
on the preservation OF fruits, and.they
will doubtless offer for sale some OF
the canned goods and preserves at a
later date. SO far those who have
hoped for ''hand-out' from the
girls IN the cooking classes have been
disappointed, but they still hope for
day when lesson on cookies or
doughnuts may permit them to have a
taste of the product of our COOKS.
Changes in the weather have un-
doubtedly accounted for number ol
cases Of sickness among high school
pupils. Louise Flett, of the second
year class. has been compelled to
misss a number of days, but is re.
ported as improving. Beatrice Will
son, of the first year class has also
been compelled to miss few days.
On Friday Miss Clausen, who rep
resents the Palmer company OF Cedar
Rapids, Iowa, visited the City schools
and gave some special work in the
classes in penmanship in both grades
and high school. Miss Clausen also
met the teachers after school, and in
half hour lecture gave them many
helpful suggestions for the use OF the
Palmer Method of business penman-
ship which the school is using this
year. A number of teachers enrolled
with her for the free normal course in
penmanship which the company offers
to teachers in the schools where the
system is IN use.
