The Real Thing

Will Mount, Levi Conright and
George Mitchell were down at
the lake fishing the first Of the
week, and the splendid success
that attended their efforts was
evidenced by the fact that a fine
mess Of perch was left on the
editorial table. just what the
days catch was in pounds we
have forgotten, though the fig
ures were given us, but we are
willing to swear to the amount
whatever it was. And hereafter
any aspersions thrown out by
jealous rivals on the ability of
Will Mount to catch fish, and
lots of them, will not receive
much cOuntenance from the Her.
aid scribe. If the "proof of the
pudding is IN chewing the string
then picking the bones will have
something to do with the credi-
bility of your fish stories here
after-two pounds of fish are
worth ten pounds of talk.

School Notes

A number of pupils who were ou,
OF school last week on account oi
sickness have returned to their WORK.
The attendance for the first month Of
school year has been very good
Most OF the rooms have been able to
get along with very little tardiness
In spite OF the fact that the session
starts fifteen minutes earlier than il
did last year, the high school pupils
have thus far made very fair records
for punctuality.
Fire drills have been tried out on
several occasions, and Mr.. Wilson
reports that on one occasion the build
ing was emptied in fifty seconds.
There is little danger OF fire in the
Milbank building, butthe danger from
fires is little as compared with the
danger from panics that may be
caused by fire alarm. The fire drills
are intended to reduce this danger and
to accustom the children to move
quickly and in good order.
The women teachers enjoyed a picnic
at the dam las week. They made
the trip after school and reported a
very delightful time. MIR. Hill and
Mr.. Glenn though invited found that
other duties made it impossible for
them to be present.
The reading circle books for the
use of of the city teachers have been
received through Supt. Souder. The
books for study this year is "What
Children Study and Whyn, Gilbert.
Supt. Souder states that the programs
for the the district Institutes will be
issued shortly.
