- ECENTLY a very talented and charming woman-a playwright ' A whose fortune has been estimated up into the three figures class-told me that the secret of her happiness was team york; her husband being the party of the second part in the case.
 This statement applied especially to her domestic life-it was Margaret Mayo, who was talking, and her husband, Edgar Sel- wyn, was the adored subject of the con- versation, and she laughingly said that team work was nothing new in do- mestic relations since it was as old as the days of Adam and Eve-for as long as they worked together the Garden of Eden was a real paradise-but as soon as they went their separate ways the willy old serpent entered and broke up the home.
 The same applies to professional work well as domestic, and the sligan of the business world today is team work ''

themselves so necessary to the
school that / do not see how we
could get along without them.
For example, / do not know
what we should have done for
money to replace our library if
the School Improvement League
had not come to our assistance.
The library that was destroyed
by fire was built up slowly
through period of ten or twelve
years. The high school regula-
tons made it necessary to replace
it at once. By the assistance of
the ladies we were able to re-
place the most necessary part OF |
our library Immediately.
The ladies of the School I'M

support and encouragement of
the entire community. They
raise the money with which they
help the school by the sale of
tickets to the lyceum courses.

friends will again invest in tick

yield so large a return to the
whole community.
Of course a profit is made pos
sible on the lyceum courses only
because the ladies give their la
bor-and many days of hard
work it takes too-and then buy
their own tickets the same as
other people.
My thanks to the ladies of the

their untiring efforts and to the

eft of the Colfax high school and

These lyceum courses are worth
far more to the school and COM

realize. Our high school STU
dents and those of the upper ell
ementary grades receive a stim-

erature and music that is of no
small value to them in their
school work.
These entertainments are also
a benefit by way furnishing re-

But they have a much more
substantial value to the school,
