take them.
Miss Shade: They are a necessary
evil, that furnishes no pleasure but
great deal of benefit.

thing. My experience has shown me
that they are necessary to retain a
high standard of work.

ing from a high school with no
finals to college where / was oblig-
ed to take them has taught me to
say, Eyes, they are a good thing
Miss Harger: l am in favor OF
them and am opposed to anyone q
being exempt.
Mr. Hege: I believe they are a
good thing and the best way to
summarize the work for the pupil

valuable aid in reviewing the
subject for the pupil.

TRY IL Next Week

We are all familiar with Clean
Up Week, Health Week, Better
Babies Week and all the other
weeks that are set aside for re-
form. A. H. s. needs reform-re-
form in manners. We need to be
more courteous, to say please and
"thank you" and pardon me" Why
couldn't we have "Be Polite
Week" with everyone careful and
courteous to all with whom he
comes in contact? Let US try it next
week for five days and see how 1t
works. If we like it we can make
it a permanent institution and we
shall not need reform.

Wide Cooperation Suggested.

Cooperation of the President. the
District Commissioners and the mem
bers of the bench of the District, and
either cooperation with or particIpa-
ganizations such. for example. the
Central Labor Union. the Womans Suf-
frage Association, the Bar Association,
the Bankers Association. the Associa-
Press Club. the Washington News
paper Publishers Associa ton, the CO.
1umbia Historical Society. the CONNER
cial Club. the Rotary Club. the Build
ers' and Manufacturers' Exchange and
citizens association ooner than those
represented in the federated body, was
suggested by Chairman Noyes.
Other suggestions outlined by Chair
man Noyes which were approved in
c1uded:
ITO appoint a committee on petition
which shall plan and report the most
effective method of presenting to Con-
gress by petition the united request of
Washington. organized and individual.
for the adoption of the constitutional
amendment This petition should be
signed not only by Washington's organ
dzations. but by host of individuals
and should in every way be made
merely perfunctory. AS auxiliaries Of
this committee there might well be de-
yeloped in each organization repre-
scented in the joint committee a large
special committee which should include
In its mem oership all OF the most en-
thusiastic and capable advocates of the
constitutional amendment in the or
ganization.
whenever 1t appears that the joint
committee is too large a body to hold
frequent meetings and to act quickly
recourse will doubtless be had to a
smaller representative executive COM
mittee with such functions and powers
as the joint committee may assign to it.

COUNTY EXCEEDS QUOTA.
Red Cross Week Closes with Splendid
Results in All Towns.

In the Red Cross Christmas Mem
bership campaign just closed, Orleans
county was allotted 2508 new mem
bers to make the required ri per cent
Of the population.
The results up to this time show
756 in excess of the quota. This is
somewhat over "a per cent for the
county. Of the Is towns 13 show
membership in excess of the number
required and five slightly less. Splen-
did work was done by the several
chairmen and their workers and it is
certain that they will always look
back upon their efforts of last week
with much satisfaction and justifia-
BILE pride. The county chairman ex-
tends congratulations and in behalf
of the state chapter thanks to the
nearly 200 workers for their loyal
and patriotic service so we'll per-
formed.
The most notable results shown are
Craftsbury with membership at the
close of the campaign of 81 per cent
of it's population, Irasburg, second
with As per cent, Glover with 35 per
cent, Orleans and Bloomington (to-
gether) as well as Charleston, having
Westmore "a per cent, and Green's
boro and Newport each % per cent.
Lowell, exceeded it's quota safely
and will at once organize an indepen-
dent branch which course is likely to
be followed in Westmore and perhaps
in Holland, Westfeld, and South
Troy Holland has not yet completed
it's canvass but will show good re-
suits by the end Of the week under
the direction Of an energetic commit
tee. In fact nearly all the towns will
continue to add somewhat to the fig
ures given below and the total county
figures will have to be revised up
ward by next week. Below is given
list of the towns showing the chair
men and the present total member
ship of each.
