nISch smaller this year and 1t was
impossible to secure efficient teach
ers fer the night school classes at

teachers were drawn from the ranks
Of the day school force. The night
school situation depends on the re-
suit OF the war deficiency bill now
awaiting the Presidents signature.
Recommendations to arrange for
classes in subjects for which there is a
heavy demand, such as stenograpny
and typewriting. and that the board
grant a request to organize a COM

A delegation representing the man

board that the question would be
given immediate consideration. The
delegates were W. G. Phillips, Charles

Editorial

Only remnants of summer
glory now left. Old Jack
Frost is the veteran actor
in the play of annual
wreckage.
The shortening days of sun
light and warmth fail to
send up from the roots
sufficient supplies of sap
to feed the leaves, and so
the leaf cells become
empty, change their color
and fall; but the bare tree
is only taking a winter
rest to live again in new
beauty, under a fixed law.
As the old, square Six
penny Farmers Almanac
used to say: Look out
about this time for squal-
ly weather, sharp frosts,
tricky and rapid changes
from warm to cold, and
be sure to keep your
woodpile high and near
by.
1t is the joy of the home
mother and the house
father to find in this store
the things wanted for
mild weather or the worst
of the winter days near at
hand.
