PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES


 Poor coal, a new janitor, imperfect heating plants and cold, windy wealth CT can sometimes demoralize even a public school
 The epidemic of measles we so much feared did not materialize Giles Matthews was our only victim.
 But grippe and pneumonia have played havoc with our attendance. Our report for this month will be the poorest of the year.
 Aubrey Ray is up after a severe attack of pneumonia, but is not able to return to school. Grace Harmed is back after an illness of two weeks. Clyde Hancock has lost more than a week. Kirk Mosley is nursing an .in- jured knee. Myrtis Cline has been sick week. Vergie Thomasson is reported ill of pneumonia. Minnie Ethridge has returned after the loss of about two weeks.
 Miss Bingham, of the Atkins pub- lie school, daughter of Supt. Bing- Heii, ttSSoiiipuHicu Dy d IIiciu WIlooc name escapes us, spent half day inspecting work in grades one anC six last week.
 The weather man seems to "have it in for" our struggling Parent-Teach- ers' Association. But we'll come back.
 We are under lasting obligation to MT. Hubbell for coming to our res cue during our fuel famine We were in desperate need of coal and he lent us half car he had secured for Hen drix. MT. Doyne came to our rescue the other time we were in trouble.
 Those of us who heard Robert Parker Miles last Saturday have the memory of a very pleasant evening The subject was 'Tallow Dips" The lecture was a series of dramatic pic lures of four people-an eccentric New York millionaire, the "Grant Old Man" of England, Pope Leo XIII and the mother of Newell Dwigh Hills. We are genuinely sorry SC few were present.

team and Needs Creeks first team.
 The babies went against the giants with pep, while the side lines were rushing them on into battle with the Black Fork war cry, and the first half ended with q score of "A to 6 in favor of the home team. The second half began with both sides having plent yof ginger, but the big boys were soon calmed by the babies fast team work. The second half ended with score of 5S to 15, the visiting team being the "blue" one, and the home team all smiles.
 Prof. Wingfeld wishes to state that he is real proud of the excellent work of his teams this year. They have played eight games and have not last game. We are all proud of the boys.
 There is always joy and real sat- isfaction in knowing that we are do- ing some real good. Come out to our program the last nights of school and see if you don't think so.
 We have three more weeks of school.

"Ten Nights in Bar Room" will be staged in the near future.
 Carrol Glover played his role as "Taby" most excellently in the play last Saturday evening.
 Guy was all ablaze on Saturday, January 27. There was continuous round of amusement from 10 a. m. until II p. m. Four excellent games of basket ball and an excellent liter ary program at night. The feature of the literary program was the one act play entitled Burglars"
 The Guy school has just received the "Bentonian" from Benton high school, asking for an exchange We are so sorry we do not have some publication for exchange. Every school should maintain high school publication.
 Guy Henry of the Conway public school and Harley Weatherly of the State Normal, both Guy high school students visited their homes and saw the games Saturday.
 The girls team and the boys team will both go to Shady Grove Satur- day, February 3, to play them.
 Saturday, January 27 was event. teams, and the local fans received their fill for one time. The first whistle sounded at 10 a. m. when Damascus appeared on the court and the last whistle sounded at 4:30 p. m when Shady Grove was mortally de- feated. Of the 100 points scored the local lads made 83 and the girls IT.. The total for the four visiting teams was 62 points.
 Of the four games staged, Dam- ascus was the most tenacious. The first half ended with a tied up score 9 to9. Fate was against Hosea the last half and the visitors were vic torious by the final score of 22 to IS. | It was a nice clean game from be- gining to end.
 At 2 p. m. the Centerville "Banties" crew and made desperate effort to defeat Guy, but the locals used too much team work for them. The "Banties" made only three field goals but scored 16 points on free throws. Guy made ten field goals, scoring only four points on free throws. The third game was the Shady Grove girls vs, the Guy girls. This was decidedly victory for for Guy from the start. The visiting girls displayed no team work, however they played a great game and gave the local girls an interesting "scrap." The score resulted in favor of the local team.
 The fourth and last game was staged against the Shady Grove lads. It was so unevenly matched that it lost interest. Guy could handle them at will. The visitors were walloped by the awful score of 31 to g.
 Of the 83 points scored by the local lads, Hosea made 30. and Capt. Glover 31. Our teams are in first class con- dition.

BLACK FORK SCHOOL.

Holland, we are glad you have enough principle about you to admit that we played better game of bas- ket ball than you. But now, Holland, do you not think you had better take up collection and order you bas- ket ball rule book in order that you will know good refereeing when you see it? When ordering your rule book be sure you get one written with very simple rules and words so babies | can read it. Then try rubbing it gently over your umpire's head and perhaps it will give him quicker eye so he might tell hack from a close guard.
 Again Holland, if we should ever want to fight Germany we would be glad to get your basket ball court as we would not have to go to the trouble of digging trenches.
 MT. Manager, see if you cant get ! your team to come to Black Fork. We'll do you right.
 School is progressing nicely under the management of Prof. Lee Smith, principal; Prof. Bob Wingfeld. inter mediate teacher, and Miss Octava
 
 There has been a hearty co-opera- tion between the teachers and the pupils in general. So far as the faculty knows the school has been a success.
 Prof. Lee Smith states he is glad that he has been able to meet with the endorsement of the school board on all propositions regarding the management of the school in general.
 Our boys and girls have done some excellent school work in all grades.
 Basket ball has been quite an en- ticing feature to secure regular at tendance.
 Prof. Smith says he regrets very much that he did not begin working early in school for girls basket ball team. A short time before Christmas he began coaching his girls. Being confronted in many weays, he had great difficulty in getting them ready for the field. But at last he has done so.
 The first games were played Sat urday, and the girls showed their training, both in courtesy and hand ling the ball from the starting of the |
 Our team played Needs Creek, II to 23, in favor of the visitors. Though the visiting team had much the ad- vantage of our girls in weight and playing, our girls put up a hot fight with them.
 Black Fork girls went in on the last half with much more pep, and made it much harder for the visitors, besides the visitors handled the ball well. We are unable to say who really starred for Black Fork team, but are confident that Miss Glover, starred for the visitors.
 There was quite large crowd on the side lines who witnessed the game and eevrybody seemed to enjoy the games very much.
 The principal, Prof. Lee Smith, is running his school on the "demerit system" this year. He believes his school to be the best it has ever been before. This is his fifth year here. Try the "demerit system," teachers!
 One of the gastest games of bas- ket ball ever witnessed on the Black Fork court was played last Satur- day between Black Forks second
