Not a German Society.

The Die Besserung society at the high school is not a German society, as noted. in Tuesdays paper.
 The name of the society is German and means decorating, for which the society was organized. as the different classes give money to this society," Of which everyone in school is a mem ber and the society buys pictures to decorate the walls of the schools with. Short programmes are given Monday mornings under the auspices of this society.
 The students at the school have shown themselves to be of the most patriotic minded, many of them re- fusing to take the study of the Ger man language which is optional with the study of French.
 Most of the larger enterprises of the school are brought about through the efforts of Die Besserung and patriotic work as that pertaining to the Red Cross, Liberty bonds, and Thrift stamps more than anything else.
