The seventh and eighth grades of
| the Cary school have fine record of
/ attendance for the month of January,
| despite the cold weather. The seventh
grade scored 90 percent and the eighth
/ 100 percent. There was not case of
/ hardness recorded in the eighth grade
for the year beginning Dec. 1915 and
| ending Dec. 1917.
| These grades have organized liter
airy society, known as The Excelsior
| Club, which holds short meeting
every Friday afternoon. The program
is arranged entirely by the members,
and presented before the school each
week. Last Friday the entire program
was of patriotic nature and was
we'll rendered. A Red Cross drill was
especially pleasing.
Every school throughout the county
was expected to give short patriotic
| program last Monday to introduce the
campaign week for the sale of thrift
and war savings stamps. Each teach
er will send copy of her program to
the Office before the end of the week
| so that a complete record of each
/ school may be on file.
Miss Della EmunsOn left on Mon
day morning to attend the County
Superintendent Convention which is
held at Wausau this year.
1t is sad but true fact that a few
! schools are still found in the county
where Old Glory is not displayed from
a flag pole. In most cases it is not the
fault of the teacher, but is due to the
fact that ropes, pulleys, or poles are
defective. IN almost every such school
the teacher has hung the flag within
the room that the daily salute may be
given, thus doing her part, The flag,
however. must be displayed outside of
the building from flag pole to meet
the requirements of the law and we
trust that all school board members
will see that their school meets this
requirement. 1t Is more. important
than ever before, that during this
critical period in our history, the flag
of our country be found in its place
of honor.
Donald Roach, a small boy in the
| Cedar school, has perfect record of
attendance during the month or Jan
nary. This is very creditable record
considering the severe storms and the
low temperature the weather man has
recorded during the four weeks con-
stituting the school month.
| New shades, which add greatly TO
the comfort of the pupils, have been
| placed on every window In the Cedar
| school. Howard Hardie, "A pupil in

Olga GREGG, pupil in the sixth
grade of the Simon school, has made

lie Roy, fourth grade pupil has knit
ted pair of socks. Even the BOYS in
this school are learning to knit, and
Leo Simons has sweater well start
ed.
These pupils have started sold
ier's Fund Box" which is quite a
unique idea. The children are clipping
all jokes aud cartoons from papers
and magazines and making Joke books
of them. Suitable pieces of hand work
are saved to put in the box. Pennies
are saved TO buy candy or tobacco.
Each box must contain one real Joke
or sell" as they call it. This article
has been supplied by one of the boys
who whitfield pipe from solid
block of wood and made the opening
through the stem by inserting a red
hot wire. This is to be wrapped in
tissue paper and placed with the to-
bacco. The names of all soldiers per
sonally known to the pupils are to be
voted upon TO see who gets the box.
The children are getting much pleas
ure out of the undertaking.
Since the burning of the mill at
