On Monday, December A, the an
nual convention of school board mem
bers and rural teachers will be held in
the court house at Hurley. The pro-
gram is printed elsewhere in this is
sue. All patrons and friends ale cor
daily invited to attend any or all of
the sessions.
In many of the rural schools
Thanksgiving exercises were render
ed on W ednesday afternoon, thus fit
tingiy marking the observance of the
national holiday. The rural schools
will not convene until Tuesday owing
to the fact that the convention imme-
diately follows the Thanksgiving va
cation.
The pupils of the Springstead and
Powell schools have planned trip to
observe the working of log TANNER
which is located very near the Spring
stead school house.
Miss Hilda Lake, a teacher in the
Pence school, has opened evening
classes at the Montreal school, where
she has class of fifteen Finnish men
who are studying English.
A Reading Circle has been organic
ed in the Rein school which is t8aght
by Raymond Prahl. Twenty-one mem
bers enrolled in this circle.
The exterior of the Pence school has
been very much improved by new
coat of paint. This school has an en-
rollment of 90 pupils. In class of 20
beginners ii is interesting to note that
only were unable to speak English,
although all come from Italian homes.
The Montreal school has this year
an enrolment of pa pupils. Just re-
Gently this school gave a Japanese
Fair, at which hand painted Japanese
pictures were sold to the amount of
$55. This sum will complete the pay
ments on the victrOla and leave a sur
plus which will be used for records
we understand.
The school board of the town of
Oma has placed convenient shelves
near the stoves in the school rooms at
the state graded and central build
ings. These are used as racks for the
children's dinner pals, thus keeping
the food at an even temperature.
An amusing incident occurred in a
primary language Glass in one of the
rural schools recently. The teacher
was trying to make clear the singular
and plural forms of list of words,
one of which was deer. She question
ed small boy thus, "If your father
killed one deer what would he call it?"
The instant reply was, He'd call it
buck, cause you dasn't kill a doe. i"

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

The Girls Glee Club will hold a pro-
gram dancing party in the X. of c. Hall
Friday evening. The Club is planning to
make this dance a very enjoyable affair.
The Boys Literary CLUB held their reg
ular meeting in the High School building
Friday evening. The program rendered
at this meeting was an unusually good
one. The boys are very interested in the
Club this year.
Our school superintendent extended
general invitation to the High School
pupils on Tuesday of last week to see the
plans of our new High School The
Seniors viewed them with mingled grief
and resentment, knowing that they are
missing the pleasure of occupying the
fine new building by just one year
The pupils from the first to the fifth
grade inclusive attend the photo-play
"Hiawatha" at the Garrick Theatre on
Tuesday afternoon. A representative of
this Moving Picture Company gave a talk

"Hiawatha" and made a special rate for
the pupils who would attend the perform

PROTECTING THE BIRDS.

The treaty ratified between the
United States and Canada by which
1922 species of migratory birds Will
be pefpetually protected. will ultimate
ly prove of vast Importance to both
countries, provided the protection
which the treaty cOntemplates is rigid
lv extended, says Cincinnati Times
Star. The signing and ratification Of
this treaty will end a long fight in
behalf Of the feathered tribe which
does so much for public welfare. The
terms of the treaty provide: First,
that no bird important to agriculture,
because Of It's misunderstanding pro-
clIvtties, shall be shot at any time.
Second, that no open season on any
species of game bird shall extend for
a period exceeding three and a half
months. Third, that both countries
shall so restrict open seasons on game
birds as to prevent their being taken
during the breeding season. AS an
enthusiastic worker for game prDtec-
ton has put 1t, the new international
arrangement means that "every yari-
ETY. among our most interesting and
valuable American birds will be pro-
tected from the Gulf of Mexico to the
North Pole" The signing of the treaty
Is a triumph for public sentiment,
which, under a persistent campaign of
education, has been reused to the re-
CURED pitch of demanding action. The
mere ratification of the treaty will not,
of course alone protect the birds. En-
forcetnent of the law backed by public
opinion, however, viii undoubtedly see
to that. In due time the feathered
tribe viii enjoy an immunity from mo-
lestation and a freedom for its benefi-
cent mimstratlons to mankind that 1t
has not known for a century.

WASHINGTON NEWS LETTER
By Arthur w. Dunn


Washington, Nov 30.--lSpeciaL J.
The verdict OF many western men who
have given the situation careful con
sideration Is that the Republicans
might have won with Roosevelt. At
the time the Chicago convention assem-
bled there was a belief that the peace
feeling throughout the country and the
antagonism Of the Germans would
have defeated Roosevelt Since the
election and in Analysing the votes the
conclusion Is reached that Roosevelt
might have carried all the states car
ried by Hughes, with the exception of
Indiana, and that he might have won
enough eastern states 10 have insured
his election.

he would have been more popular in
the west than Hughes Senator Suth-
