Ri.hmond, March 29.-Parents' day
at the North Cache High School last
Wednesday was great success and
great surprise TO teachers and to
the people themselves. The turnout
far exceeded expectations and the in
terest shown by all present was a
| stimulus all around. Invitations were
| extended to all parents having chill
dren in attendance at the High school
to visit class work In the forenoon,
inspect woodwork and sewing, one
hour, then have lunch and after
lunch attend the program exercises
and the ball game. The class work
was certainly interesting and de
serves special mention.
The class first visited was one in
chemistry conducted by Mr.. Peter
son of Smithfield. It consisted of
about thirteen third and fourth year
pupils, displaying most earnest eff
forts. The next class visited was
one in typewriting. Forty.two pupils
are enrolled in this class but having
only sixteen machines, the class has
been divided into three sections. Mr..
Henry Plant has this study in charge
and he can certainly be proud of the
progress of his students.
Ancient history, conducted by Mr..
Plant was next in order and the elev
er questions as we'll as the intelli-
gent answers were very interesting
to the visitors. Two classes In Eng.
lish were visited one taught by Miss
Wallace and one by Miss IRE, taking
up the study Of "1vanho," and Miss
Wallace, Julius Caesar"
Principal Andersons class in an
cient history was very fine. The in
telligent as well as good grammatical
expressions from the pupils were
very noticeable. His class in third
year English was also very good and
his questions were superb in their
Mr.. Plants class in commercial
arithmetic was good and his efforts
in acquiring speed and accuracy,
were successful
Mr.. Peterson's class in algebra
was very interesting and the way his
pupils handled those KS and VS. was
puzzle to great many Of those
present.
Mr.. Holmgren's class in physlol
| ogy was crowded to overlooking with
visitors and It was hard to tell who
were the most interested they, or the
pupils. A motto In this class room
impressed me and read: what
am to be, | am now becoming" and
me thought" There Is universal
truth and is applicable to us all. The
courtesy on the part of the pupils
In showing the visitors around are
to be highly commented upon as cour
tesy and politeness are important
practical lessons and We were pleas
ed to see that that phase of theiI
education had not been neglected.
In the sewing department was OK
hibited great number OF neatly
made dresses, also kimonas, gowns
aprons, caps, cushion covers, etc
All rejecting favorably on the efforts
that had been put forth.
The woodwork department was
equally good and the desks. tables
stools, racks and other useful arti
Giles shown, were revelations tC
a great many of the parents whC
had no idea that their boy could dc
anything like that.
A most delicious luncheon was
then served to about 1875 guests, while
members % the High school orches
ira furnished music, this lending en-
chantment to the already delightful
occasion. Everybody was happy anC
were 10 per cent more so after the
| lunch Among the crowd was whis
pered 81 had no idea 1t was COINS
to be as swell as this" and Il woulC
not have missed this for anything,
But one of the best features of the
day was TO be the program.
The crowd assembled in the study
room and a program consisting o
