PUPILS AT WORK
Novel Program At Plains
School Proves Profit
able Movement

PLAINS, Dec. 6.-Friday was
made Mothers Day" in Plains
school. For the first half day the
school was in regular session, and
visitors came and went during the
morning, visiting the rooms as they
desired. There was spirit of pride
among the children, made manifest
by the white flowers and ribbons that
were worn by many of them. In the
afternoon the school was dismissed
and the mothers" met in confer
ence" to discuss varied topics that
are of value to home and school,
Nearly forty ladies were assembled
in the auditorium and there was a
genuine spirit of ease and freedom
in the discussions that took place.
The following topics were presented
for discussion:
Discipline at Home and at School
Attendance and Punctuality.
Home Study.
Social Life During The School
Year.
Restrictions in Social Life.
Cooperation of parent and teacher
was the keynote of the hours con-
ference. Nearly every lady in the
meeting expressed herself on some
one or all of the subjects. Perhaps
the lengthiest discussion grew out of
Home Study and Social Life" 1t
was stated by some of the teachers
strongly that the efficiency of the
school was handicapped by too much
license being given to the young peo-
ple for amusements of varied kinds
during the week. Many parents pres
ent expressed themselves as being in
favor of restricting the pupils dur
ing the school week. The question
then arose of whether the school be
delegated such authority or not. No
definite action was taken on the mat
ter, other than to appoint a commit
tee to investigate the sentiment of
the parents generally and to give a
report at the next meeting of the
School club. The teachers stated that
such a movement must of necessity
come from the will of the patrons of
the school. The conference closed
with thfs discussion.
In the intermission that followed
the domestic science girls, in uniform,
under direction of Miss Few, served
the ladies with hot tea and crackers,
There was music also, and the girls
sang their school songs, while re-
freshments were being served. After
this informal meeting, the School I'M
provement club held it's regular meet

SCHOOLS CLOSE FOR SUMMER
A Successful Year Of Work Completes
In Spite Of Double Blow Received
From War and Epidemic Conditions

The Eureka schools closed Thurs
day for the Summer vacation, and a
fairly successful years work was ac-
complished in the face of obstacles
encountered by war conditions and q
two months cessation Of study caused
by the influenza epidemic. Both the
principal and vice principal of the
County High School entered the
army, and these vacancies were only
filled at the last moment. 1t was
found impossible to secure a COM
mercial teacher and this course had
to be discontinued, and this made 1t
necessary to re-arrange the schedule
and teach other and sufficient sub
jects in order that the students re-
ceive the necessary credits for pro-
motion and graduation. This was
done and all students given a full
course of study. Longer lesson as
signments. extension of daily sessions
and an extended school term have
helped to overcome the difficulty.
The enrolment in the High School
was as, the largest in the history of
the school, and would have been
fully maintained and perhaps ex-
ceeded had it been possible to offer
the elective commercial course. Pa
irons. trustees, teachers and pupils
have all worked together. and by SC
doing have lifted the schools out of
what for some time was a very
gloomy prospect.
The teachers of the grades have
also been handicapped, but by work.
ing overtime and extended lessons
have been able to complete their
courses, and most of the pupils have
received cards of promotion.

NEED OF CONCERTED ATTACK
ON PREVNETABLE DISEASES.

1t was a fine Health Week talk that
Or. j w Petit made at the morning
service yesterday morning at the
Episcopal church, at the request Of
the pastor Or. Petit called atten-
tiol to the fact that while there
have been many health Improvements
in cities and communities in the past
this is the first time a week has been
selected for a general movement il
all paris of the country. Diseases
which we now designate as communi-
cable were until recent years gener-
ally recognized as a "dispelsation Of
Providence and the efforts to com
bat them were to cure rather than
prevent them. Science has proven
beyond any question that if these
diseases prevail as a menace TO hu-
man life it Is We ourselves who are
responsible and that the all wise
providence has put the question up to
rs as to whether they shall prove
the scourges they have in past or not.
He gave us examples the almost en-
tire wiping out of cholera yellow
fever, smallpox, malaria, typhoid and
other dreaded diseases, the great
strides which have bene made in rid
ding the country of tuberculosis, and
Of the putting of diphtheria out of the
list of particularly to be dreaded dis.
eases if taken in time He called at
tention to the work don in the Pan,
anna Canal Zone and the completion
of that great work France failed in
not because she J. aked money, ma
ohinery or anything necessary for the
completion of the work, but because
she was unable to keep men healthy

gan the task by making the zone over
