PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES
I z. z. Dizney. Prin.

We are compelled TO turn away
some very worthy students from
outside for lack OF room.
All the teachers are back on the
Job again with prospects Of our in
creased attendance.
The recent zero weather found
our janitor on hand with every
school room perfectly comfortable.
Measles and whooping cough
still hang around. They have done
their worst, perhaps. At any event,
the Robinson Hospital is close by
for advice and help.
Wonderful cures and help came
TO families last year from the
physical examinations given by the
Robinson Hospital. We are hoping
that we may be able TO secure this
same service again this year.
The popular school lunch is
again in full swing, with most OF
the old stand-bys in line for duty.
Mrs. Best is still chairman Of the
enterprise.
Donations in the way of turnips,
cabbages, potatoes, onions, molas-
ses, jam, meat, eggs, butter etc.
will be duly appreciated by the
lunch board. Several school chill
dren have made contributions.
Please remember that you are in
vited to the next Parent-Teachers'
meeting Tuesday afternoon at 3
o'clock, January 10.
