The door was looked after by Mr..

staunch friend of the school.
Mrs. j. G. Walker had charge of
the grabbing, and was successful in
having it reap a rich harvest.
Charming Miss Florence Lusk, as
the Princess of Cassandra, removed
all doubt and set many hearts at
ease when she told them of their flu

Work in Athletics is progressing
favorably, two regular teams. prac-
ticing every evening. Entries of
teams will be made Jan. 10th. The
boys have all been officially meas
ured and their teams organized. and
the most important thing to be done
is for the different players to prac-
tice their special line of work so
that some games may be won in the
coming series.
Mr.. Mervin Umbach has kindly

ence in this popular sport. We GER
tainly appreciate his efforts to help
our boys and hope they will en-
deavor to do their best under his
guidance We are also indebted to
Master Behrman French for coming
to the. school grounds every evening
to give our players pointers about
the game,~and to play with them.
We hope he will continue to come
and help Mr. Umbach.
Mr.. and Mrs. c. L. Stumpf have
kindly offered us two fine lots on
Homer ST., to be used as a school
garden and work will be begun in
the near future. 1t will be little
inconvenient for US to get to this
section of Algiers, but we appreciate
the fact that we secured them and
they were so willingly offered US,
and we thank Mr.. and Mrs. Stumpf
and hope they will be rewarded by
seeing the results obtained by the
bows in this work.

McDonogh No. is making eX-
celIent progress under the direction
OF the principal, Miss \. Poncet. be-
cause she Is continually carrying out
some plan Tor the Dettermeut OF the
school and its pupils, and we teeI
sure that the boys realize this fact.
The other reason is that the Nc
DOnOgh No. Cooperative CLUB is
doing everything possible to better
conditions and place this school in
the front ranks as an up-to-date in
Stltutlon. The members are help
ing the teachers in many ways and
are always willing to supply any
funds necessary for the welfare Of
the school. We are glad it was
organized because in the short time
it has been in existence, it has ac-
complished fine work.
The regular January meeting of
that body was held Tuesday, Jan.
l4th, at 1880 p. m. Although not
many members were present, the at
tendance was satisfactory, when we
consider the amount of sickness pre-
valent in the community.
We were pleased to have Mrs. \.
j. Amuedo, our organizer with US
on this occasion and hope to see
her at every future meeting. Sick
ness in her home caused her absence
from meetings. AS chairlady of the
Committee on Bylaws, she read the
results Of the work of that committee.
The Bylaws were adopted as read.
The Club presented the school
with all supplies necessary for first
aid treatments. The boys of the
Seventh Grade are making the medi-
cine cabinet, under the direction of
Mr. Ortland, our Manual Training
teacher.
The Club decided to go on record,
as favoring the closing of schools at
3 p. m. Telephone service will be
installed, and a Victrola will be
purchased at an early date.
a set of Holmes Travelogues,
consisting of thirteen volumes. lea
ther-bound, finely illustrated and ex-
cellently printed, was purchased for
the school library. They cost eighty
dollars. but these works are we'll
worth the money, and will serve as
a great source of help to both teach
ers and pupils.
1t was decided to have social meet
ings at regular intervals and our
next regular meeting will be one of
that kind. We hope. to have a very
large attendance of both fathers and
mothers on that occasion. as we
know everyone will have a pleasant
time and friendlier relations will be
established between the members.
Mr.. +. Henning addressed the
meeting and in the course of his re-
marks, he deplored the fact that
very few fathers are interested
enough in the welfare of their sons
to attend meetings. He said that
the work of the Public Schools was
for the welfare of the nation and
that it was the foundation of every
thing that means the uplifting of
this great democracy. He said that
he always believed in cooperating
with the women-teachers of boys, be- |
cause they have difficult and i'm
portant work to do, and they should |
be helped by all parents, because
they work for the betterment of |
mankind. He expressed a desire |
for larger attendance of fathers at
future meetings.
Mr.. E. w. Hynes, assistant super
intendent of Public Schools, visited
our school last week and said he
was very pleased and satisfied with
the work done in the several grades
he visited and the progress made
by the school.
