Public School N otes.

The attendance last week was
some better until Friday, on ac-
count Of the unusually severe
weather, one hundred pupils were
out OF the two ward schools. The
attendance was not so much better
in the high school building. Here
about thirty-fve were absent.
Mrs. VIM. Court addressed the
high school Wednesday of last
week. She spoke to us on the
subject of the effects of alcohol and
reviewed some scientific expert
ments that have been made which
forcefully impressed the points
brought out. Mrs. Court is a very
forceful and entertaining speaker.
We appreciate her interest and
efforts in our behalf.
On Monday morning of this
week the high school pupils and
all other pupils down to the third
grade had the pleasure of listening
to Mr.. Dyer, an Armenian. who
has been in this country about two
years, as he told us of the Gus
toms, manners and ideas of his
native people. His presence with
us has very much increased our
interest in that part of the world
from which he came. His expert
cnces also have the tendency to in.
crease our respect for our own flag
aud that for which it stands.
The pupils in the North ward
school are giving special attention
this month to the study Of Wash
ington and Longfellow. Some of
the rooms are including Lincoln
and Lowell. This is accomplished
through the reading lessons, Ian
guage lessons, making booklets,
etc.
The Superintendent sent to all
the neighboring high schools re .
uuest for statistics as to enumera.
ton, enrolment, plumber gradual
ing from eighth grade, etc. Those
who have reported are Bonnie
Terre, De SOTO, Cape Girardeau,
Sikeston, Fredericktown, Charles
ton and Jackson. Three compari.
sons were made: % the number

as compared with the number

: all of these comparisons Freder-
icktown ranked first. Based on
the enumeration Pennington stood
fifth among the eight schools; on
the enrolment Pennington was
fourth; on the number graduating
from 9Th grade, fourth. Thes,
: comparisons were all made on thu
percentage basis. Considering thu
s fact that there are several otheI
schools in Pennington doing worl

that our school is not so very fa
