Incredible as it may seem, the
tardiness record of the high school
students during the second SIX
weeks of this school year was only
twenty-five as compared with 167
cases during the second six weeks

lines, the rules demand that boys

more than one subject of the four

second only to actual experiences in
leaving a lasting impression upon the
mind. The superintendent spent some
time in working upon list suitable
for Christmas presents to the boys
and the girls of the several grades.
Upon consulting the libre ran, how
ever, he found this list already in
tensively worked out. 1t iE strongly
recommended that parents, friends
and relatives consult these lists be

the duck has only two legs and they
are set so far back on his running
gears by nature that they come pretty
near missing his body some ducks
when they get big curls on their tails
are called brakes and don't have TO
set or hatch but just loaf and go swim
