SCHOOL NEWS

The Hallowe zen carnival held at the
high school after school Friday proved
an exciting affair and was carried out
with enthusiasm by the students. Con
and the girls of the various classes.
The program closed with an immense
bonfire of Russian thistles and Il
'wiennie barbecue after which an
hour of singing and story telling con,
cluded the festivities. At chapel hour
Monday morning, Jerome French, who
was chairman of the social committee,
thanked the teachers in behalf Of the
students and said they hiped that soTe
similar event could be held in the near
future.
This il examination week.
Mise Hunting, Miss Drach and Mr..
AcCue are attending the State Teach
ers' association in Denver as repre-
sentatives of the Glenwood schools.
Mr.. Cross has made great many ad-
ditions to his physical apparatus since
school began. This week he has com
pleted an adjustable inclined plane
with which a great number of the prIn-
ciples of physics may be illustrated.
One of the interesting facts discovered
by the physics class is that the air ls
less than Is per cent saturated 'at this
time. This was accurately determine
by piece of apparatus constructed in
the laboratory.
The Glenwood teachers have con
tracted with four of the best lecturers
in the State University, including Pres
ident Farrand, to give series of lee
lures in Glenwood during the winter.
In order to place the price of the tick
cts within reach of all, the teachers
have decided to sell season tickets TO
the four lectures and an entertainment
given by the State Normal School Glee
club, for the extremely low price of
one dollar. The main object of the
teachers is to bring educational inspira-
tion to the community, especially to the
older pupils OF the schools. They will
admit school children to each number
for ten cents. It should be worth the
price Of a season ticket to hear Presi-
dent FArfand.
