The Boomers Ferry schools had a
three days vacation last week on ac-
count Of the Teachers convention in
Spokane, Washington. The conyen-
ton started on Wednesday, March 81,
and lasted until Friday, April End.
This gave the pupils of the different
schools a chance to do their spring
cleaning up around the homes and al
so a little time for playing ball.
Many of the boys went to the saw
mill and worked for three or four days
thus earning a little spending money
for the rest of the school term. At
this time of the rear there is so much
work to do around the homes that
most OF the boys had to work at home
getting ready for the spring garden
ing and eleaning-up.
The lyceum course that everyone
has been looking forward to was post
poned until Saturday night instead of
Tuesday night when 1t should have
been given. The speaker, Arthur
Walwyn Evans, was a very spirited
talker.

The Truth About Fish Stories

We have all heard people say, "Oh,
come on now, you know he isn't that
big" This assertion, tho often made,
has no actual foundation to 1t.
Almost everyone has a tendency to
belittle his opponent, especially If he
a played a losing hand; just why
this is so l don't know but 1t is, new
ertheless.
Why does not the fisherman know
the size of the fish he lost? He prob
ably saw 1t, and II not, he felt 1t on
his line and can fairly accurately
guess as to Its weight. Furthermore.
he knows just how his line, reel or
material acts under n conceivable
position. Another thing, the fisher
man probably got excited, and anyway.
a large fish is more apt to escape than
a smaller one.

Essays From the Freshman Magazines

Windows are very necessary to all
modern people, especially the women.
If 1t were not for the windows in ones
home, how could one hope to gain the
necessary knowledge Of what her
neighbor is doing? How could she
know the number of times Billy Ar
mold called on Mary Blakesly each
week, and how late he stayed? Or
what that Sally Perkins wore to the
dance? How would she know how
much Mrs. McTavish paid for her new
secondhand washing machine, if she
could not see the man when he brought
the bill? Or what time Widow Hop
kins got home from the party with old
Reuben Hornblow? If she could not
see through the window how could she
know when Jones COW broke into the
Smiths cabbage patch, and ate all the
cabbages? Yes, windows are very
necessary objects, beyond a doubht.

CONTINUATION OF
B. F. Il. S. PAGE


On Friday, March Goth, the second
Patrons Day was held In the schools
of District No. 4. A large display of
the grade building. Each of the
grades in the building had a very short
entertainment. At $3.50 the patrons
were directed to the gymnasium where
Mr.. Campbell's classes showed their
ability by going through a few drills.
At 500 o'clock the parents gathered
In the assembly hall for a very short
program and to see some pictures that
were shown by Mr.. Kerr. The NOV
ing pictures in the schools seem to be
a great attraction because of their ed
ucational value.
After the pictures were shown the
science room was the center of attrac-
ton The splendid display which vas
placed in this room showed much abil-
ity on the part of the students of the
Manual Training department and also
their instructor. Some beautiful can
dlesticks and lamp stands were on ex-
hibit which had been made by Mr..
Hende.
The last of the days entertainment
for the people was held in the Domes-
tic Science room. Garments of all
kinds had been made by the girls and
a great deal of work was ready for
public inspection. Tea and waters
was served by the freshmen cooking
class. A large number of Boomers
Ferry people were present to see the
work done by the pupils.
