PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES

 Fred Henry has dropped out to
 make crop, and Ruth White to stay
 with her grandmother at Higginson.
 Both will take the examinations in September for promotion. Last week boy accidentally broke window pane. He was terribly frightened, but he went like a man to
 the office and told what he had done.
 And his father, no less manly, wrote the following note to the superintend- ent: Have new glass put in and send the bill to me-" A commendable spirit in both.
 Louise Greeson and Marjorie Ho-
 gan spent Saturday and Sunday in Little Rock, They report great time.
 New lights have been provided for the auditorium, displacing the old carbon types, which were pretty well
 burned out. The lighting is first 'class now.
 Don't ask to take your child out
 with the expectation that he shall have special examination or pro
 motion without an examination. Where it seems absolutely necessary for pupil to drop out to work, we are more than willing to assist him in any way we can. But if he drops out from choice, to loaf or visit, etc., we make no provision for him. And all permits for special examination must be endorsed by the superintend- ent.
 Three hundred and seventy-fve carloads of paper are made and used in the United States every day. Most of it is then burned. It could, and should be used again. Now we are facing a paper famine. Our tablets, writing paper, etc., will cost more next year than this. Why not in- a paper-saving movement and thus help the country and our selves?
 Only six tardies last month-just one pupil in hundred. And each pupil has 40 chances a month to be tardy.

Plans to Build Trunk Roads.

If the tentative plan drawn up by
State Highway Commissioner Frank
f. Rogers is approved by the federal
government, all Of the federal appro-
priation for good roads in this state
for the next five years will be used to
fill up gaps In the main arteries Of the
state, and confined almost exclusively
to portions Of the so-called Legislative
trunk lines" as created by the legisla-
ture in the past.
Mr.. Rogers worked out his tentative
plan after considering all suggestions
he received at the recent conference of
state highway department heads In
Washington.
In order that there may be no mis-
take about matters, he is going to SUD-
NIT his plan to all good roads enthusi-
asts in the state. For this purpose,
two meetings have been decided upon,
one for the upper peninsula, at Mar
quette, and one for the lower half Of
the state, at Lansing. County road
commissioners and persons interested
in good roads will be invited to the
meetings.
The date for the Marquette meeting
has been fixed for September 20, while
the one to be held at Lansing will like
ly be week later.
At the Washington conference the
federal officers notified the represen-
tatives of the various states that they
wanted, the money used along some
definite plan, preferably one to cover
the entire five-year period fixed by
congress. With this in view, Mr.. Rog-
ers has worked out system by which
the trunk lines of Michigan, with gov
eminent aid, can be completed fully,
or very nearly so, at the end Of the five
years.
II want the counties and townships
to pay what they can," said Mr.. Rog-
ers, 'say possibly 25 per cent. Then
the legislature can pay 25 per cent and
the government money can be used
for the remainder. II the counties
will help, the amount necessary for
the legislature to appropriate will not
be the full amount equal to the gov
eminent appropriation, but only half
that sum-"
