New Books in
 School Library

One of the latest accessions to our library is Irving Bacheller's "A Man for the Ages" which gives an ex- cellent picture of pioneer life in the middle west and Of the young man. hood of Abraham Lincoln, introducing many of the latter's inimitable stories. It is book that once be- gun, is not easy to lay aside, having a clear, direct style which renders it very easy to read.
 We have also some new books on Alaska, which should be in circula- tion. Among them are the follow ing titles:
 Adventures in Alaska. ."-S. H. Young, Ga former citizen of Cor dova).
 "Baldy of Nome. Allen.
 "Alaska-Our Beautiful Northland of Opportunity. ."-Agnes Burr

AS VIEWED BY SCHOLARS
BY ELIZABETH O'LOUGALEN.

The second English class spent an interesting week reading part of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. We have had some difficulty in reading the old-style English in which the tales are written.
 Several Halloween gatherings have been planned by the school children for the end of the week.
 Among the late improvements in the school building are racks built to hold the different magazines which are taken by the school, for the use of the teachers and pupils.
 MT C. c. Hazelet was a welcome visitor at the school last week
 Attendance in some of the rooms has been sadly depleted by the whooping cough scare. There are very few cases in town but in order to run no risks all pupils who mani fested coughs or colds have been ex- Cluded from school. This order has affected Miss Coulter's room most, at least half of the second and third graders being out at present. We hope they may soon return.

Notice to Parents

All pupils are required to bring a written excuse from parents or guar dian, for any absence or tardiness In case a pupil fails to comply with this rule, he will begin making up time for an unexcused absence on the afternoon of the day he returns to school, and continue until all time lost has thus been made up or until such time as he shall pre- sent a bona fide excuse from the parent for the absence in question.
 The only acceptable excuse for absence is sickness of the pupil or of some member of his family re- quiring his services. or extremely important business, demanding i'm mediate attention. Only in very un- usual cases, will work be accepted as a legitimate excuse as in most cases such work can be arranged for outside of school hours.
 Just d few pupils have formed a habit of remaining out for trivial reasons, probably without the knowl- edge or consent of parents, in some cases. Such pupils not only set bad example for others, but lower the standing of their rooms, as well as their individual standing, as their recitation missed is marked zero.

Taking Stock of Work of Past
 And Looking Into the Future

these boys and girls better in every way for having been under my care and doing these two months of work under my direction? If not, what am I going to do about it?
 The teacher who goes to class without definite, clean-cut idea of the salient features of the les son in her own mind, without know ing which points to stress and which to touch lightly. without knowing what questions to ask in order to stimulate independent thinking in of the class and setting a bad ex- ample of work carelessly done. Real teaching is more than mere testing of the pupils preparation, although that is necessary. Pupils enjoy "snappy" recitation that puts them on their mettle, while they quickly detect and take advantage of daw- ding and insufficient preparation on the teachers part.
 Parents also have a duty in this direction. They may well ask ques- tions like the following:
 Have l visited the school the past month?
 Have I co-operated with my child s teacher in every way possible?
 Has my child gone to bed early each school night so as to be alert and wide-awake for the next days work?
 Have l listened to complaints about his teacher and criticised her, perhaps in his hearing without wait ing. to hear her side of the question before passing judgment?
 Have I shown a proper interest in his work and his amusements?
 In short, have I been all that a parent should be to a child?

A new game called "Rigmarole' has been introduced in oral English by Miss Keever. A story is begun by one pupil, and when he mods to another person that one takes it up and tells it as best he can, until he in turn calls upon third to con tinue. No one can foresee the end ing of a story told in this way. It provides some good original stories as we'll as practice in oral eXpres- sion

Irnpromptu Gathering
 Thoroughly Enjoyed

On Friday afternoon all the pupils of the school met in the high school room, and gave joint program con- sisting of games, songs, dramatiZa- tions and folk-dancing. It was an entirely impromptu affair, but that fact seemed to add to the enjoyment of the occasion. Each room gave some of it's regular exercises for the benefit of the others Believing as we do in the educational and moral value of the right kind of play, we feel sure that time spent in this way is far from being wasted.
The Cordova daily times., 1920-10-30

Every proressive mgerchant must take an inventory of his stock at stated times. So must every in- dividual if he would progress. So must every institution if it would go forward instead of backward, for stand still it cannot.
 It pays every person to take stock occasionally of his personal traits and accomplishments as an individ ual. While too much introspection may lead to a morbid state of mind and prove very harmful, reason able amount of self-searching. free from useless regret over things past and gone, and full of Ctrong de- termination to 'do better next time cannot but be beneficial both to himself and to his associates, either social or business. |
 Moreover, it behooves every per son who is accepting pay for ser vices rendered, to take stock at times to see if he is rendering the fullest service possible in return for that pay, if not for love of the work itself.
 In no line of work is it more inn portant that a certain amount of self searching be carried on than in the work of the school. This is the end of the second month of the present schoOl-year. Parents and teachers should encourage and help each child to take stock at this time. Has he done better work this month than last? What definite things has he learned that he never knew before? What particular thing can he do better than he could last month? Has he been a better school-citizen than last month? If not, why not? Has he made honest, conscientious preparation of work assigned for each day. or has he drifted along trusting to luck to help him 'get by"
 It is just as important and neces- sary for the good of the school as well as the individual that each teacher inventory her work of the past two months. Questions like the following may help us as teachers: Did I have a definite aim in each recitation I conducted? Did I ac complish that aim in most instances? If not, why? Was it because 1 permitted myself to be drawn from the main point by needless discus sion of irrelevant topics, or waste of time because I had not made ade- quate preparation beforehand, so that l knev the correct valuation of points in the lesson? Did I go straight to the point or did I daw dle? Did l do most of the talk ing or did I give the pupils a chance to develop initiative by self-eXpres sion? Did I make use of the so cialized recitation or have I merely tested" by the old question-and answer method? Have I covered something like a right proposition of the terms work?
 Final test for the teacher: Are

Democratic Senators Cross Examine
Rear Admiral Sims in Effort 70
Shift Cause Of
Loss.

limited Press Leased Wire Service. |
WASHINGTON, March 23.-Efforts
i to show the alleged loss Of life, ships
and money by proiongation of the
war was the fault OF the allies as
much of the United States, were made
today by the democratic senators
cross examining Rear Admiral Sims.
Sims has charged that navy depart.
ment inefficiency prolonged hostilities.
Senator Trammell, Florida, deocrat,
declared that ship losses early in the
war were due as much to failure of the
allies to adopt the convoy system as
to failure of the United States to send
antisubmarine craft to Europe
promptly.
'The trouble was that the navy de-
partment didn't go into the war after
II was declared" Sims replied.
Senator Glass, Virginia, democrat,
repeated in a letter read today his as
sertion that Sims told him the armis-
tice had to be agreed to because Per
shing's supplies broke down.
Admiral Sims believed the Argonne
battle was undertaken in face Of mill
tary opinion that it was an impossible
operation except with very severe sac
rifces, according to letter he is said
to have written two days before the
armistice was signed by Admiral Bay
ley, of the royal naval forces, and
read by Senator Pittman. Sims stat
ed that in a letter that supplies broke
down and horses had to be slaughter
ed to supply troops.
