nesday afternoon, Nov 20. Every
mother is strongly urged to be pres

The grade and Junior high school
teachers met with the superintendent
Monday afternoon for a discussion
Of certain matters pertaining to the
betterment of local school conditions.
Glee clubs for both the boys and
girls in the high school were organ
lied the past week under the direc-
ton of Mrs. George Diedrich. The
spirit was unusually good, and fine
permanent results are anticipated.
Don't forget the athletic meet in
the gymnasium tonight. Two games
of volley ball and one of basket ball.
Only ten and fifteen cents, but worth
much more The net receipts will
swell the two victrola funds.
The school authorities heartily
endorse the work and urge the sup
port of the committee in charge of
the local entertainment course in
giving the Ladysmith school people
as we'll as the public the opportun-
ity of hearing the splendid numbers
on the course this season.
Four literary societies were organ
lied in the high school last Thurs

Ella Anderson, John Ryall and Reu-
ben Jessell. The first programs will

The superintendent and teachers
are taking alert precautions in guard
ing against the spread of contagious
diseases through the schools. When
ever reasonable doubt ccurs, the pu-
pill is dismissed until he presents a
certificate of health signed by one
of the local physicians.
Parents of children attending the
grades of the south side and high
school buildings are glad to note that
| the 500 company has consented to
have a flagman on the sixth Street
crossing. We await with hope favor
able action on the part of the state
railroad commission.
Report cards will be issued next
Tuesday noon. This is one day earl
ier than usual. The change is made
because the teachers are desirous of
having the cards returned before
Thanksgiving. Parents are asked to
examine the cards carefully, sign at
once, and confer with the teachers
when the marks on the cards are
not up to expectation.
Glass games of basketball absorbed
the athletic interest Of the highschool
students the past week. Tuesday af-
ternoon the seniors defeated the
juniors, and later the sophomores de-
feated the freshmen. On. Thursday
afternoon, the seniors won the cham
pionship of the high school by de-
feating the sophomores. The juniors
won from the freshmen in a close
and exciting game. A veteran town
team will play the high school reg
ulars Friday night. Coach Woodwork
and manager Volkman are arranging
the seasons schedule.
