Children who will be six years old
on or before March 1, 1920, should
enter school at the beginning OF the
semester The spring term classes
OF beginners are usually not as large
as the September classes, and for
that reason it is favorable time for
beginners to enter school.
Parents will help the first grade
teachers and the children too, BY
starting the little ones on the begin
ming day. Doing so puts no child
at disadvantage and, in large way,
helps the teacher to get off well in
the beginning days.
After February 6, 1920, no new
pupils (pupils who have not been
in school here or elsewhere) will be
given admittance to the first grade.
All beginners living west of Sec
ond street will report at the Junior
High school building, and all those
living east of that street will be Civ
en- places in the Hawthorne building.
This division will be followed un-
less there are too many in one of
the schools. In such a case it will
be necessary, to readjust the divis-
ion line. The aim is to best accom-
modate the children as to distances
from the building, yet the size OF
the classes in the respective schools
will determine finally where the di-
vision line will remain

HIGH SCHOOL NEWS

School began after vacation with
more than the usual amount of vim
and "pep." Everyone seems to be
hard at work. We can account for
this in two ways One that we are
all rested after vacation and the
other, that final examinations are
only two weeks off.
The basketball teams are hard at
work as they expect to have some
games very soon.
Many old students were back to
visit a few days previous to the
Christmas vacation. Among them
were: Raymon Long, from Stanford
university; Roy Clary, from Port
land; Leith Abbott and Dwight
Gregg, from the University of Ore

tive rock TO be gathered up from

The setting and Nndling of this
fire will be made great honor to

Each scout organization will select
one or more members of the kindling
marty. having the greatest merits for
the year. according to the scout
method of merits. who will repair to
the monument and prepare and kim
die the fire Of freedom The cere-
mony to take place some date in the
summer each year.
Beside this each pilgrim to the
monument will be asked to add a
stone to the monument SO that in q
few years the monument will become
gigantic affair in keeping with the
importance of the heroes of the wal
it commentaries.

Burlington, Wash.
A romance begun thirty years ago
in Kansas eliminated in the mar
riage of Charles Willis Ward and

should move to western Kansas with
her parents, and as time passed the
correspondence between them Jagged
until it ceased altogether In 1889
Mr.. Ward came to Mount Vernon,
where he has since resided with the
exception of fourteen years spent in
Alaska. During this time, Mrs. Ward
was married TO MIR. Hockett, whose
early death left her widowed. Fate
again played peculiar part in bring
ing them together last summer, WI
each, without knowing of the othc 3
intention, decided to visit the Q od
home place and friends in Kansas.
Mr.. Ward had never married, and
had remained true to his sweetheart
of long ago. And when they met by
chance in the old familiar spot, love
rekindled and the courtship was of
short duration.
The bride is well known in Ash

NEW YORK-Jewelery worn by
an Egyptian princess of the twelfth
dynasty, nineteen hundred years be-
fore the Christian era, was displayed
at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
1t is declared to be the finest col
lection of personal adornment ever
brought out of Egypt.
When marauders entered the tomb
of Princess Sathathoriunut at some
odd moment in the last $500 years
they took away her mummy and even
the elaborate funeral trappings. but
overlooked niche containing the
wonderfully wrought ornaments she
wore when attending the ancient
equivalent for a first night at the
opera.
Prof W. NJ. Flinders Petrie, head
of an English archaeological society,
dug the collection out in 1914, and
today it looks as bright as if it had
just come from the makers.
1t consists of a gold necklace in
laid with carnelian lapis lazuli and
green feldspar and another pectoral
similarly made of King senusert H.,
father Of the princess
There is also a gold collar of dou-
Bile lion heads, girdle of gold with
rhombic jeweled heads, necklace
of amethyst with gold lion claw pen
dants, armlets and bracelets with
goldbars and beads of gold, carne-
lian and turquoise; and parts of the
princess jewel box, made of ebony
with gold and carved ivory panels.
The jewels are identified as h.
longing to the princess by her name
and the name of her father in car
touches on the larger pieces. Ac-
cording to custom, the Cairo museum
retained the choice of the collection,
a diadem.
Since its purchase by the museum
the collection has been in vault in
London, stipulation having been
made that it should remain there un-
til six months after hostilities closed.

Without the least intention OF ad-
vertising her prowess as hunter,
Miss Kathryn Miller, who gained
some prominence few weeks ago
by shooting a coyote while at Pilot
Rock south of Ashland where she
was teaching school in the fall, has
received returns from the story of
her hunting episode.
Recently Miss Miller received a
letter from the manager of the Pa
cific Extension Institute of Portland
in which he stated that he had read
the account of her experience in the
Siskiyou mountains as the premier
tanner of wild animals, as well as her
efficiency in teaching the young
idea how to shoot" He also had
noted that she had had experience
in different parts of the country, and
the spirit of adventure and leader
ship seemed natural to her. These
attributes had led him to make the
offer to travel and introduce a new
shorthand system in this and differ
ent countries. possibly. He stated
that the salary would be more re-
munerative than teaching the Pilot
Rock school.
Miss Miller returned last summer
from Honolulu where she had been
engaged in teaching for the past five
years, and is particula ly fitted for
this work. Her tact in meeting and
understanding people as portrayed
in the newspaper article has led to
the recognition of her merits and
gained for her this offer.
