SCHOOL NOTES

A few weeks ago the sugar COM
pany advised parties that water
could be turned out of the company's s
ditch into the fair grounds, prepara-
tory to making a desirable skating
pond. AS soon as Superintendent
Vincent heard the good news he took
the matter up with the boys and a
delegation was sent out Immediately
to do what little work was necessary
to make first class skating pond.
A vast quantity of water was avail
able and it was turned onto a suit
able spot, but on account of the
dried out condition of the ground it
nearly all soaked in. During the
night the company's ditch broke
somewhere up the line and flooded
the main road so the authorities ad-
vised the company to shut the water
off at the head and when the boys
went back to their pond the next day
to refill it there was not enough
water in the ditch to complete the
task and all they have now Is a small
pond in the center of a lot of cracked
ice. The little folks use it to some
advantage, but the older ones still go
to the river.
