of elegant and useful presents. She

The many friends of Miss Schmidt
has made in the last three years she
has lived and labored among US as
music teacher in our school, while
regretting to lose her services: as de-
veloper of that important faculty I'm
our natures for our Individual selves
our home and the community, will re-
joice that she has been secured as
music teacher and physical director.
in beautiful county seat and college
town at a salary of 51100 year to
begin with.
1t is much to be regretted that our
excellent principal, Miss Richie, and
other efficient teachers have been all
lowed to leave, and it is to be hoped
that the runor that the teaching of
music is to discontinued and tha< the
first and second grades are to be
united under one teacher, is not cor
rect. Those young children just be-
ginning to learn need so much indi-
vidual attention from the teacher that
there are more in each of those grades
now than any teacher can do justice
to. There has never been such need
for education as today, and we can
not afford to allow our school to go
behind. Years ago it was declared by
experts that it was worth SO a day
/ for all the years of attendance to a
graduate of high school.
We are very sorry for the desecra-
ton of the Lords Day in our midst
last Sunday by the ball game played
on our public grounds. Individuals,
communities and nations prosper in
proportion as they observe the Lords
Day, and it is the almost universal
testimony of criminals in our prisons
and penitentiaries that their first
downward step was in neglecting the
Lords house and desecrating His day
