School Notes.

Another mouth of school after
this week will close the school
year. The last day will be May 70.
DR.. Drake, W. C. T. U. organ.
izer from Colorado and author of
volumes belonging to the Self
and Sex" series made a very in
teresting address to the High
School and eighth grade last
Wednesday. Her frank appeal
was appreciated more than any
address that has been given for
some time.
On May 9, the Parent Teacher
Association will have its monthly
meeting. The program will be
given by the pupils of the differ
ent grades.
Mr.. C. C. Covey, senior at K.
U. made an interesting and in
structive talk to the High School
last Friday morning. Visits by
former students of B. H. S. are
always appreciated. Mr.. Covey
gave US some very definite ideas
as to what the world demands of
those who would be leaders in the
economic, political or social realm.
The tenth grade enjoyed an egg
roast one evening last week. Miss
Ruth Smith chaperoned.
AS a part of the opening exer.
cises Tuesday morning the girls
of the eleventh grade sang a Ger
man song.
AS the year draws to close it
is essential that pupils stay till
the close and dispose of the finals.
School authorities are getting
more stringent each year in re-
gard to the question of promo
tiou. A pupil can't do good work
with inadequate preparation.

ParlOr Car

A parlor car from the Mexico
Northwestern Ry. has been ad-
ded by the M. o. & G. Ry. and
placed In service on trains Nos. 3
and 4 between Joplin and Dustin,

The car is elegantly finished
on the interior having been built
by the Pullman Company just a
few months prior to the outbreak
Of hostilities in Mexico, and for
some months was in the possess
ion Of Villa, being used by him
as his official car.
The M. o. & G. is utilizing the
car as 4 dining aud observation
car and patrons express agree
able surprise at the moderate
prices prevailing for meals and
seats. The seat rate between
Baxter and Joplin to Muskogee is
SOC while one can procure a most
satisfying meal for a price rang
ing from 25c upward prepared by
the chef, who was formerly en-
ployed in the official private car
of the M. o. & G.
A delightful view of the beau

Each number of the Easter ex-

EASTER sERvIcEs.
The anniversary of the risen
Lord was fittingly remembered
by the classes OF the Methodist
church during the regular Sum
day morning preaching hour.
The day broke perfect under a
cloudless sky, and a glorious sun
shone down, warming and cheer
ing everything after several
weeks of stormy weather, as tho
Nature herself entered into the
spirit of the day and was calling
people out to a service of song
and praise to a bountiful Maker.
The program consisted of class
songs, special music by the choir,
several selections by the Covey
orchestra and recitations by the
young folks. During this service
seven children received the rites
of baptism.
The audience was large and
appreciative and carried away
with them a richer feeling for
having respected this great event
in the worlds history. Easter so
fttingly marks the relations be-
tween Nature and man, signify
ing the end of our winter season
and the advent of spring. 1t
typifes the resurrection, too, Of
things deadened by the winters
blasts; the return of growing
things; the return of the song
birds like old friends from the
southland, and the incoming sea-
son of fruits and flowers and
foliage.
If you failed to catch the spirit
of the day you are the poorer for
having failed it.
