paredness of the ships crew for that
particular emergency. "Inefficiency"

was his reply. He had identified the
body of Charles Frohman in the littla

and the sinking of the snip. Exactly
fifteen minutes" was the emphatic
answer. The Lusitania was struck at
2:15 o'clock Friday afternoon and
sank at 2:30.

water three hours, said that the pre-
cautions taken by the Lusitania were
not up to the standard. He said. Il

themselves free from blame for this
tragedy. The authorities allowed d

High School News.

This. the first of a series of high
school notes to be published weekly
throughout the ensuing year, will en-
deavor to acquaint the public with
the general and specific activities of
the school.
More students have been enrolled
this year than in preceding years,
thus making it necessary to install a
new row of seats in the high school
room.
The boys have all taken great in
terest in basket ball and Prof. Nc
Mahon expects the school to produce
an excellent team, providing the boys
practice.
The following new students have
enrolled dnring the past week: Robt.
Shocks, second grade; Nellie Dent.
eighth grade; Jennie and Esther
Holmes as advanced freshmen.
Reports will be made out every six
weeks this year instead of every nine
weeks as was the custom in the past.
This arrangement gives the parents
chance to see what the students are
doing more often, and also give the
student better chance to make up
back work before it is too late.
