Meridian school Notes.

At meeting of the School Trus-
tees of District 33 last Friday even
ing it was decided to employ two
more teachers in the Grade building
The First, Fourth and Sixth grades
are filled to oyerflowing and relier
was absolutely necessary. The Fifs-
Grade will be divided ana another
teacher employed to take charge OF
some OF the little folks. The excess
in the Fourth and Sixth grades will
form another division.
To-day is the last day of the second
month of school Thus far two WIS.,
itors have put in an appearance
Surely this cannot be indicative OF
the interest the people of the COM
munity have in the schools. You are
spending $155 a day to maintain this
institution. IL you were stock
holder in a corporation that was cost
ing that much money TO operate you
would surely have an interest in 1T. Is
it possible that you have no interest
in your own boys and girls?
A uniform system of grading has
been suggested for the schools OF Ada
county. The new arrangement pro-
vides for five grades as follows: / in
dicates grade between 10 and 100;
2 between 80 and 95; between 80
and 80; between 10 and 79; in
dicates below 40 or failure. Craze
cards issued to pupils of the Merid-
ian schools will conform to this scale.
In view of the fact that the writer
is unacquainted with local health
conditions it may.seem rather unusual
but We are curious to know whether
or not this is a normal condition.
During the past three weeks 1913 ex-
cuses 90 have been submitted by
secondary school pupils 90 the effect
that they were out OF scnool on ac-
count of sickness" Surely this muss
be mecca for the physicians.
Oliver Kelley is out of commission
this week in so far as his commercial
work is concerned on account of a
broken thumb which he received as
a souvenir of his first foot ball game.
A very pleasant social evening was
enjoyed by the members of the SEN
ior and Sophomore classes last Fri
day in the gymnasium. The Sophie

were guests of the Senior class. Light
refreshments were served.

On account of the chilly weather not

Prosecutor Of "Reds" Is
Feared Forcibly Detained
From His Wedding
BIZ Associated Press

MOnsOn, Mass. Dec. 26.--Dr. William
Grey Vermilye, of New York, former
naval surgeon, failed to appear for
his wedding with Miss Ruth NJ.
Keeney, of this town yesterday ana
to-day his absence was still unex-
planned.
Miss Keeney, who resigned as pro-
fessor of Spanish at Bucknell Univcr-
sity to marry Dr. Vermilye. was re-
ported i'll at the home of her parents.
The Rev. Herbert b. buckingham,
who was to have performed the core
mony. said DIR. Vermilye had not been
heard from since he left a New York
hotel supposedly on the way to be
married. He said that Miss lleeney's
family felt that DR.. Vermilye's abb
sence was due to violence. The cx-
pected groom. he explained, had been
engaged in Federal service in round
ing up radicals since his discharge
from the navy and arrived in New
York last Friday from a South Ameri-
can trip. in which he had. supervised
the deportation to Colombia of a
"red." This fact. he added. suggested
the possibility of radical activities be-
ing responsible for DR.. Vermilyes
non-appearance.

Cusack said.
According to the Postmaster, this
years rush was an increase OF al
most fifty per cent. over that OF last
year. All packages which could be
distributed were disposed of until
noon yesterday.
The cleanup drive on the Christ
mas Day mail was started at $50
O'Clock yesterday morning, when
trucks were sent to the Harrisburg

waiting for the train deliveries,
which would have been made about

employees to dispose of much OF the
mail in the : o'clock deliveries.
In order to take care OF the fush,
Postmaster Cusack placed seNeral
additional employees on the stan anu
