Everyone present enjoyed. Montra-
vile Flowers "Hamlet" Wednesday
evening. MI. Flowers is a keen i'm
p~ersonator of character, and holds
the undivided attention of his audi

basketball, correct position exercises

The teachers of the first and second
grades have been trying out this
week their plans Of teaching half of
their pupils in the morning and the
other half in the afternoon. They
report this method to be working out
very satisfactorily, the work being
much nor thorough. Of course the
hours are longer for the teachers but
in this way the pupils receive more
individual attention and better results
are obtained. This method of
handling the large number of pupils
will be kept up for some time at
least.
