GRAMMAR SCHOOL NOTES.

The fourth grade of the Prescott grammar school has made an enviable record this term in the manner in which they have responded to every public spirited call made to them. They have led in each of the follow ing; Selling Red Cross seals, selling IS. l. A. tags, selling Gem benefit tick cts for s. l. A. and contributing to the silver service fund for the battle ship Arkansas, S4.54. They also won the flag donated by Mrs. Horace Be mis, to the room securing the pres ence of the most mothers at the last meeting of the s. l. A. Last but not least, they have committed to mem- .ory every word and can sing "The Star Spangled Banner" "Americ, !" and Arkansas" This record should be an incentive to other rooms in doing their level best in everything given them to do.
 The total amount contributed by both departments of the grammar school to the silver service fund is $22.OO. We feel proud of this fact and are sure that will not be exceed ed by many other schools it's size in the state.
