nOuuCS Li4dL IlICJ WAlt 1OOClNC tAlS parents at the school house Fri
 day at 8 pm. This is not to be :
 formal affair, but simply a 'get
 acquainted" meeting. The tea,
 chers have not yet had a chance to meet the parents and trust that they may have that oppor tunity Friday evening. Come, and personally meet the teachers under whose infunce your child is for five to six hours every day. The better the teacher knows the home life of her pupil, the more she will be able to help | him; and the better acquainted the parent is with school condi- tions, the more able the parent will be to put into the home training, school ideals.
 The arrival of books and note books nearly every day is faciIit- tating our work in high school.
 A new class under Miss Ed wards instruction has been started. It is called Dramatics, and it's purpose is to teach the high school students how to read and speak expressiyly.
 On the playgrounds before ses sions and at recesses, the chll- dren are enjoying organized play. VoIIy ball is one of the games played by the older pupils. Soon the basket ball court will be laid out and poles for baskets erected. The girls will enjoy this game.
 PRIMARY ROOM
 Three new pupils entered school Tuesday noon. They were Claude, Margaret a n d Lewis Smith.
 Those in the first grade were delighted Monday morning when they received primers to read from. for the first time. They have read the story of "The Little Red Hen" this week and all feel very proud that they can read from a book.
 The first and second grade are planning a picnic Friday af- ternoon from three to four o'clock.
 The children of the second pri- mary are taking great interestin thelr attendance record this month. Last week we had a | perfect report, not a tardy or absent mark for the whole week, but we are sorry to state some tardies this week, and their ex- cuse was that they didn't get up in time. Parents won't you please cooperate with us and help start the children in plenty of time? We have thirty one enrolled in third and fourth | grades and last month twenty | six of them made neither a tardy or were absent. They were, Lorena Black, Norma Divelbess, James Farwell, Clifford Garri- son. Bessie Hathorn, Estella Morgan, Jennie Newman, Ear land Peterson, Roy Woods, Norma Coleman. Ernest Black, Lena Hathorn, Robert Johnson, Fife James. George Key, Della PauIsell. Edna PaulseIl, LoweI Richards. Minnie Rencher, John Sparks, Helen Clare Trammel, Ellword Peterson, and Theo Coleman.
 The children are all well pleased over the arrival of their new Dramatic Readers, also the new story books. We have a story hour every day now and at this time we intend to learn about our country, the stories of the principal operas, people of other lands and then in addi- ton the Fairy and Folk stories that are alwarys so dear to the hearts of children.
 Please come out and see us and show an interest in what your child is doing.
