HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
Continued from first page.)
HEIPINC THE TEACHER

There is nothing perhaps so dis couraging to a school teacher as tho indifference with which many parents regard school work. Many energetic young teachers strive term after term to overcome this inertia by holding parent meetings, and sometimes this method is sue cessful. But have you ever attend ed these meetings? If so you will have noticed that only a few pa- rents attend regularly, while many do not come at all. Parents, get out of this rut and show that you are really interested in your school. Visit the teacher in her classroom i; find out what her difficulties are and see if you cannot help her. Doctors say that when a patient ar rives at their office with diges- tion ruined after years of eating and drinking, and demands of the doctor, ''now cure me-" they have right to kick that patient out of their office. Teachers must feel a similar resentment against pa- rents who wash their children's faces in the morning, see that they are well dressed, give them oat- meal and that with certainty of having done all that could be expect ed of a parent, dump them on the school teacher, demanding as their right, ''now, educate them.

MARK TWAIN TERRIFIED HER

Athletic Association. In 1916 Il cost
Harvard approximately s35 man

only one complete outflt, and does

as much as before the war.
The intercollegiate football that
