HAD
INTERESTING MEETING

The Parent Teachers Council
had a lively meeting yesterday
afternoon, those present being
enthusiastic over the plans for
the state Mothers Congress
which will convene here in
March. Mrs. Gelders presided
and Mrs. Adams and Mrs. Waitcs
performed the duties Of secretary
for their respective divisions.
Superintendent Ricketson was
present and gave heartiest assur-
ance Of his personal help and the
greatest confidence in the ultimate
success Of the undertaking, which
like all great events, casts its
5shadoW before. The churches
will be asked to cooperate by
having no conflicting meetings
during the three days, and if the
meetings outgroW the seating ca
pacity Of the library auditorium
the use of the churches will be
solicited. The Mothers Congress
stands for everything that is good
and ennobling to humanity and
the presence of one hundred and
fifty of its representative wo-
men and the splendid programs
they will give can not fail of good
influence on all who come in
touch with them.
The committees appointed thus
far are as follows;
Homes Committee: Mesdamcs
Heide, Waites, Cohen, Frazer,
McCarty, Will Adams, Abram,
Manning, Goldenberg, Keim, E.
P Keefer and Fretwell.

The luncheon, decoration and
credential committees will be
named at the next meeting of
Jan. 10 when all plans will be
further perfected. 1t is anticipat-
ed that the school board at their
meeting tonight will cooperate
as far as they are able through
the schools to extend courtesies

in the Junior Class and take up
solid geometry and trigonometry
next year. The Seniors of 1917
are to be given a special chance
to take this advanced work.
Miss Sims was indisposcd Mon
day and her classes were taught
by Superintendent Ricketson.
We like Mr.. Ricketson's system in
teaching and his presence in the
class room but we were glad Miss
Sims was back Tuesday. Supt.
Rickctson combines with his own
duties the position Of supernum-

Mrs. Andrews organized and

Tuesday Prof. Stringcr an
nounced that the faculty had in
mind the raising of the standards
i'll department required for ex-
emption at the end of the year to
95 per cent, lowering the ncces-
sary mark in scholarship to IS per
cent. The required grade in each
is now 90 per cent and has pre-
yiously been 95 in both things. 1t
seems to us that to put such a
great premium on behavior over
scholarship, which is the first and
prime object in a we'll regulated
school, is a bit too close to radi-
cal.
