School Notes.

W. AA0V0 AS0a0 SOVSA0l x0VOl dpAO,
comments on the "Schod Notes. for
last week We are glad to hear
those things if they are really meant
for the truth. As long as we have
interesting material to write and the
editors of the local papers are willing
to publish them we will try and have
som for the paper from time to time.
The pupils as well as teachers are
very thankful to the Board of Educa-
ton for 81 living US laet Thuradsy ana
Friday. The time will have to be
made up sometime in the near future,
but a few days vacation made it seem
more like Xmas. Everybody will be
more willing to work from now on.
Several new pupils enrolled in ths
Scotland School last Monday. There
was an addition of n pupil in the
2nd, Bird, 7,h. 9Th, 9th and 10th
Grades. 1t is somewhat difficult for
us to do the best by such pupils be-
cause they have lost 3 months work,
but if they will do their best and
show a willingness to study, the
teachers wi II be all the more willing
to help The more the merrier.
There is always room for one more.
Only four weeks left after this one
of the first semester. Better get
down to business if you rant a semes-
ter's credit in all subjects. First
semester closes Jan. 81. 1919.
Grades 1T inclusive had a short
Christmas program on Tuesday after.
mon, Dec. "a. Grades IL had their
program in End Grade Room. Grades
81 had their celebration in the Gym
nasium. Both programs were we'll
rendered and from all reports seem to
have been very much enjoyed by all
those who were present. The H. S
had nc SPECIAL program as we are g
trif1e in arrears on school work. They
we're dismissed a few moments early.
This seemed to please all concerned
most immensely, judging from The
expression upon the faces of several
pupils.
Prof. George d. Straver of Co lum-
bia University says Boys and girls
who are to count largely in our COM
munity life when they become men
and women must be actuated by
ideals of service. be able to think
.traight. and be willing to cooperate
with others in those activities which
make for the common good" TIE
question for every teacher is, "Are
my pupils developing those ideals and
abilities now?"
Miss Anna each substituted in the
9th Grade Monday and is doing sub.
stitute work in the 9TH Grade during
the remainder Of the week Several
H S girls have also assisted in su-
pervision work of late. They all do
fine work.
The High School pupils were given
a rare treat last Tuesday morning
when they listened to an address by
Prof. F.. F. -Schaeffer. He is at
present Principal of II. S. at Yank-
ton, S. D., and we'll gamble he
makes a good one. He chose for his
theme the topic of LEAD Pencils .
At first thot it may seem to be a far
fetched topic for an address to a group
of High School students but those who
heard it will testify that his apolica-
irons were well made and graphically
hrot to the attention of his hearere.
n talk was full Of humor and prac-
teal ilIusiratio rs with here and there
an aiIusion to his acquaintance with
two members of the H. S. faculty.
Mr.. Schaeffer taught the school at
which Supt. Williams and Mics Horne
were at n time students. Every
one would like to hear him again.
