knitting and sewing as soon as

Some people have gotten the

this idea is the result Of ignorance
or whether it had its origin in q
deliberate lie incubated and fos.
tered by some enemy of the
United States, is not known.
We don't know which view would
be the more charitable. Ignor'
ance of the matter is almost as
iuexcusable as wilful misrepre'

To be a Red Cross nurse one

V. A Change in the Music
Department.
During the past two months
our music department has felt
very seriously the need Of a new
piano. It is with pleasure, there.
fore, that we announce the FORM
alton Of a plan whichfwe believe
will enable US to make this much.
needed improvement. The trus-
tees, with the consent of the mn-
sic teacher, have authorized the
principal to take charge of. the
collection of the tuition fees OF
this department, and to- divide
every dollar collected, ON the ba.
sis of 80 cents to the music teach.
er and 20 cents to a fund set a.
part for the purchase of a new
piano.
Now, the only way we can Sc
cure a piano at once is to get il
on the instalment plan: and ir
order to do this, we shall be O.
biiged to collect the tuition fees
for each month during the first
two weeks of the month. This
will enable us to keep the month
ly instruments paid I'D as they
fall due, thus preserving the
credit of our school. We are es'
tablishing some rather exactine
rules for the purpose of keeping
the accounts in good order; anC
we trust that no one will feel that
the reinforcement of these rules il
in any way meant to reflect upor
Ibis honesty or the sincerity o.
his intentions to make payment
The regulations are made merel!
ito save our time and simplify ouI
work, and all efforts on the par
of our patrons to cooperate will
us will be greatly appreciated.

~. Regarding Absences in
High School.
We understand that some par

not to US. but to somebody else
because our report forms hav
shown a greater number of alb
sences recorded against thei
children than they thought ther
should have been. These parent
probably do not understand ou
method of keeping attendanc
records in the high school, so
word of explanation is offered.
Each student in the high schoc
is required to consider his schoC
day divided into number of pc
riods corresponding to the nun
Der of his studies plus one-th
extra period being the one sc
apart for chapel. For instance
If a student has four studies, hi
day at school is made up of fiv
periods. Then if he is abser
from chapel or from one of HI
recitations, an absence of on,
