School Notes

The first annual exhibit of work done by the CorGova public school was held last night, and judging from the kindly comments heard on all sides, was a decided success. For first attempt it was good, though but the mere8t index of what the GchOol may be expected to accomplish along this and other lines in years to come, as better facilities in the way of new building and larger corps of instructors are afforded the com mUnity.
 The exhibit served three-fold pur- pose. It helped toward our aim of making the school a community cen ter by bringing the people together for a common cause; it informed them in measure of some of the work that has been accomplished dur ing the year; last, and perhaps best of all, it served and will continue to serve as an inspiration to pupils to do their best work every day. We have had good years work, but next year should be still better, because of this exhibit. We know of some boys and girls who were not over-anxious for their parents to come last night, because their work when placed be- side that of others did not show to advantage. It is only reasonable to suppose that pupils with that much pride will exert themselves to do bet ter work in years to come and so make a better showing in future ex- hibits, for it is to be hoped that this custom now inaugurated will be made permanent feature of the schools work.
 It is matter of regret that more patrons of the school did not avail themselves of this opportunity to see the regular classes in session, as we'll as to view the exhibit However, we are grateful to those who did come In order that all who were prevented from attending may yet have chance to see the display work, it will be left in place during all of this coming week and visitors to the school will be welcome at any hour.

Last night, following the night school session, the last regular meet ing of the year Ocurred and a most enjoyable one it was. The only regret was that the room was not filled to capacity. An excellent muscia1 pro- gram was rendered to the great en- jOyment of all present The numbers given were as follows:
 Piano sOlo-Ophelia Howard.
 Morning song-Girl's Chorus, under direction of Miss Wright.
 So1o-,Mrs. Ed. O'Brien.
 Piano solo-Dorothy Dooley.
 Solo-Mrs. Hubbert.
 In response to roll-call a number of excellent suggestions were given, and if all or even half of them are car ried out, the CordOva P. T. A. will be kept so busy that there will be no chance for getting into mischief.
 It is to be hoped that in the coming years work every member will feel his individual responsibility in mak- ing a success of this organization, which possesses a tremendous poten- tiality for good both in school and community. Each should remember that no undertaking runs itself unless 1t is running down hill, and the way to avoid the sad fate is for each to respond as best he can when called upon to help. The attitude of "Let George do it" won't get US anywhere, and unless a society is growing and improving it might as we'll not be-
 We can progress only by laying aside criticism, expressing our views freely and frankly, listening kindly in turn to our neig]bOr when he exer cises the same privilege, and no mat te how widely we differ in our opin- ions, still remain friends. Such is the very essence of democracy, and a P. T. A. is nothing if not democratic. We are planning for an illustrated lecture soon to raise money for the purchase of slides and rented films for our own new moving picture machine, which is an unqualified success.
 There will be a special matinee in the high school room Monday after noon at which all the pupils will be present to see some of the interesting films recently received.
 In tn hurry of preparing for the eX- hibit, most of the school notes writ ten by the pupils for this addition were misplaced or accidentally des- troyed, which accounts for their short column this time.
 We are greatly indebted to MT. Mos ser and MT. Pinkus for their assistance in starting us off in the operation of our moving picture machine.
