Public School Notes.

The total enrolment of the public
schools is $50. On the same date last
year it was 275, and the total enrolment
year before last was 235. The present
enrolment in the High School is ninety
three. Last year the total was fifty
nine, and four years ago it was thirty
six. This year there are thirty-eight
in the freshman class.
More than one hundred dollars worth
of apparatus has been purchased for the
physics laboratory. A new cabinet is
being made in which to keep the appar-
atus.
! Fifty boys are taking training. Part
of their class time is devoted to making
cupboards, sand tables, and other need
ed things for the school.
About thirty pupils of the public
schools have made entries for the Gold
en- Belt Fair. Parents should encour-
age the children to enter the contests
Music under the supervision of Miss
Sidenius, drawing under Miss Wooton,
and physical education under Miss
Brown and Mr.. Harris is now a regular
part of the program at the public
schools. The work in these branches is
ably carried on by the regular teachers
on the days the supervisor does not
visit.
The work in spelling, arithmetic,
reading and penmanship will be stand
ardized by the use of scientific tests.
This week the spelling tests are being
given. This will be followed by the
Courts number tests. The results of
these tests are being tabulated by the
psychology classes at the Normal and
will be published in bulletin form.
The new primary room is almost ideal
in its equipment. 1t is a real pleasure
to both teacher and children to work
in such environment. This is what all
the grades should have and patrons and
citizens of Hays should see to it that
this is brought about in the near future
A parent-teacher association is to be
organized in Hays. Such organizations
exist in most progressive towns and
are found to be very effective agency
in lettering school conditions. Through
this organization parents and teachers
join in helpful cooperation in the great
work of child welfare. Every parent
should belong to the organization and
attend the meetings.
A tuition fee of two dollars per month
for High School and one dollar and a
half for the grades is charged non-resi-
dent pupils, if nonresident pupil is one
whose parent or guardian resides out
side the boundaries of the school dis
trict. If paid for the nine months in
advance the rate is $3.50 for the High
School and $500 for the grades. All
tuition fees collected are devoted to the
purchase of supplies for the school.

One of the rarest plants of the far
East is the 'changeable rose,'' whose
bloom is white in the shade and red
IN the sunlight. The rose grows in
japan, Siam and China. In the dark,
or in shaded room, the flower has a
pure wavy-white surface. But a won
derful transformation occurs when the
bloom is taken from the dark to the
sunlight First, the petals turn to a
faded blue, which at once changes to
a delicate pink. This hue gradually
deepens into q fiery red, so that the
rose becomes the color of the reddest
peony that ever bloomed.

Saturday Afternoon Club Gives Recep-

Saturday Afternoon Club Gives Recep-
ton.
The Saturday Afternoon Climb gave
an informal reception to the faculty
members of the Normal and public
schools, including the wives, mothers
and sweethearts of the teachers, at the
Brunswick Hotel on Monday evening.
The husbands of the Club women were
also there, and altogether the parlors
IF the Brunswick were filled almost to
overlooking with merry crowd. The
committee in charge saw to it that
groups Of guests were frequently ''stir-
red" and the result was a constant
hum of animated conversation and
much jollity that made the time pass all
too quickly to the hour of departure.
The object of the reception was to help
the new teachers who began their resi-
dence here with the opening of the
school year, to meet and know a few of
the many people of Hays who are ready
and eager to extend to them a right
hearty Western welcome to our midst,
and to convince even the ones suddenly
transplanted from homes where shade
trees and running streams abound, that
there is much in the short grass country
that will appeal to them, and that
eventually they will become attached to
this land of big promises and POSSIBLE
tiles.

italy an Ancient Nation.

Italy may fairly claim to be senior
among the nations of Europe so far
as its name is concerned. The PENN
sula has been Italia almost as far
back as even legend reaches. Accord
ing to Mommsen the "Itali'' proper
were the inha bitants of the southern
part of the country. AS to the origin
OF the name, there is the normal Ie-
gend of a King Italus; but his name
must have been pronounced Vitalus
or Vitulus, which means a bull-calf.
and it is easy to recognize in it an
allusion to Italy as the land of cattle.

Bryan issued his sixth statement; TO the

Of his opposition to the Presidents last
note to Germany and withdrawal from
the Cabinet
His address is devoted mainly TO a
detailed reply to the question why no

appears that his chief reason was tho
fear that the note might provoke ,;er-
many into breaking Off diplomatic rel,-
tions with the United States aud he vas
not willing to incur any Of tho rcspon-
sibility for such an occurrence or its
consequences. He again implies hat
President Wilson's course has greater
possibilities of war than the course
urged by him.
Mr.. Bryan also makes to statement
that an important change was made in
the note between the time Of his rcs.gna-
ton and the despatch Of the note on IL
way TO Germany. This assertion aroused
the keenest interest here. inasmuch aa
NJ the state Department the impression
