Some School Notes
A few of the fifth grade drawings are
being shown this week in Burrell's win

the regular blue prints. each pupil having |
blue print to follow. BY making them
the pupil becomes familiar with the prof. |
est which he will later make in wood.
He also gets a valuable training in ac-
curacy and neatness and must learn to
think for himself.
Next week the sixth grade drawings
will be shown.
