The first and second grade
a n & e class studied
and illustrated with free. hand
cutting the stories Of The
Little Red Hen and Three
Billy Goats Gruff.' The stor-
les were also dramatized. q
The school has received a
beautiful educational exhibit
from the Royal Baking Pow
der Company. The exhibit is
very complete showing samples
Of cream of tarter as it is man
ufactured into the specially re-
fined pure grape cream of tar
tar. Supporting this is refer
ence data and descriptive mat
ter. Cream of tartar has been
used in cooking for many gen
erations and it il therefor in
teresting as we'll as instructive
to see such an exhibit.
The school has been recently
equipped with liquid soap dis
pensers. The dispensers are
of the fitting variety and are
fastened direct to the wall.
This is an up to date scientific
manner of using soap in it's
pure unadulterated, aseptic
condition. It is an added i'm
provement and strictly sani-
tary. The school board uses
every effort to secure the very
best for our schools and they
aim to make the school as at
tractiye as possible.
One Of the most successful
and we'll known business ad-
vertisers in this country has
adopted, as the catchword of
his appeal to the public, the
following phrase There's a
reason" If every young man,
throughout this land of ours,
would always say to himself
there is a reason" for every
thing I see and / will persist in
finding out that reason, the re-
suit would be an inestimable
advance in the average of hui
man intelligence in our coun-
try. And when we live intelli-
gently, we live to make our
nation great-great in intelli-
gence, 'beneticence and power.
At times when one iss passing
a crowd of young men discuss
ing their work, you will often
hear Abe remark, Il wish | had
a pull like Bill, then | would
have a snap. l wouldn't be
obliged to work as hard as | do
now" But after all, you will
find the adage to be singularly
true that it doesn't take a pull
to get ahead, it takes a head to
get a pull
The age of I'ericles was
known as the Golden Age. To-
day we live in an age of oppor-
tunity. Never has the young
man and women been confront
ed with such opportunities as
the present day. If we neglect
or want our opportunities, we
will be unsuccessful; for the
lack of success is largely the
fruit of wasted opportunities.
The young people of today who
will be successful in business
a few years hence, are today in
school. They see ahead and
figure to make every opportuni-
ty count. The average pupil,
however, does not in any
practical degree, appreciate
what the business world will
require of him. And because
of this, many pupils are daily
throwing away opportunities
that iii a few years money can
not buy. Today we have
successful men and women in
business life calling out to
every young boy and girl not
making the most of his or her
opportunity. But louder still
is the voice being sounded to
the parents having children
about to enter the arena of the
worlds activity; pleading them
to labor systematically and
patiently to teach their boys
and girls to have knowledge
for the good it can bring and
to use every opportunity to the
utmost.
