A VISIT TO THE HIGH SCHOOL At LAME
COMMENT on SOME OF THE PlODATE METHODS Used TRAINING OUR
FUTURE MEN And WOMEN

on the subject. Among the improve
ments made during the past year for
the lower grades was the establishment
of the school store. Supt. Toothacher
inaugurated this innovation, the object
being to teach the pupils practical bus
mess methods.
In the store the pupils act as purchas-
ers, wholesalers and proprietors. o.
defs are made out on the wholesale
house, drafts are purchased, and one
of the grades acts as the banking de-
partment. The pupils take a great deal
of interest in the work of the store and
modern education is made a sort of
pleasure to the young boy or girl.
The store is stocked with neat pack
ages (empty cartons) of nearly all va
rieties of merchantable commodities.
After the CLERK of the store is selec-
ted, one pupil is chosen to make pur-
chases with definite amount of bona
fice money. He is allowed to make
any purchase he desires. Sales are
made and prices announced LOUD enough
for each pupil in the room to hear and
each is required to make out bill.
After the pupil has completed his lpur-
chases the various bills are discussed
and corrected. another pupil is selected
and the operation repeated.
The operation of the store gives the

We have often wondered how many
know Just what is being done for the
education of the children IN this locali-
ty. In expanding our own money we
are certain to be careful as TO how it
is spent and what results are being
securec for the expenditure, but when
it comes down to paying out money tor

important than most things, we are
sorry to say that many of US are lax
aud do not even take the time to visit
our halls of learning once in a while,
even though our faculty extends US a
coriiil invitation to visit the schools at
any time.
Of course good deal of confidence
is placed in the officials in charge of
the school, and we must say that
L'Anse has been very fortunate in hav-
ing had good corps of instructors.
The L'Anse high school is a school of
exceptional advantages for village of
