PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES (
asaSS : 5 5

Extensive Improvements are being
made in the west side building this
summer, which will greatly better
the appearance of the building.
There are promising indications
for a very large enrolment in all
grades and departments. Sixty new
desks have been ordered for the
several buildings. 1t is urged that
as far as possible pupils enroll the
first day. Monday morning, Sept. 3.
We shall be glad to welcome into
the highschOol classes any special
student who may desire to take up
special work in any Of the several
courses. This welcome is extended
to everyone, whether or not you
have attended school in recent years.
In answer to the very large num-
Der OF inquiries as to the cost of
books for the freshman class, the
approximate price is herewith given.
Algebra and English are required of
all Freshmen. The cost of the text
in the first named subject is u
cents and can be used the entire
year. In English, the price of the
composition text is also 70 cents and
will be used for two years. In this
branch of work, there are also some
literature classics to be bought at
different times during the year,
whose total cost will be about so
cents There are five additional
subjects in the Freshman course at
this time, among which each stu
dent is asked to elect two. The
cost of the manual training book is
also small The elementary science
text costs IS cents, disable for one
semester. This subject is followed
by botany the second semester. The
text in spelling and penmanship will
not be selected until later, but the
cost will probably not exceed 25
cents. This subject will be followed
by business English the second
semester. Should the demand for
the organization of a Latin class be
great enough, the price of the text
will be 20 cents Parents are
asked to bear in mind that the
prices quoted above are for new
texts. There are now in the pos
session of the school a large num-
Der of second hand books which will
be sold to the students at reduced
prices, depending upon the condition
of the books. Any prospective fresh
man who is financially unable to

anger when he realized that their sub

ruse to cause Daniel to be caught In
the meshes of the law. He was dis
tressed by the necessity 1t placed upon
him to decide whether he would abro-
gate the law or allow an innocent man
to suffer the penalty of an unjust and
blasphemous statute. He sought in vain
to flnd satisfactory solution of the di-
lemma. He finally decided. probably
upon Daniels advice, to allow the law
to take it's course with the hope that

When Daniel learned how the king
had been tricked he did not allow the
edict to interfere for a moment with
his devotions. He followed his usual
custom of praying three times daily
with his face turned toward Jerusa-
lem. His place of communion with
Jehovah was a prayer room which
was a sort of an arhor, with lattice
windows, jutting out from a corner of
his house. The possibility of peril did
not change his habits of PRAYER. The
fact that his life was endangered

for protection and help. In every
