SCHOOL NOTES
Continued from Page Six)

One-half of the play shed has been converted into a school room, occu- pied by grades four and five. It makes very cheerful and attractive room and many of the pupils have expressed a wish to have this for their room.
 While the new room is greatly needed, it is unfortunate that any of our already limited play-space should have had to be utilized in this way, and it's serves to emphasize the need "a building which will provide an assembly hall and community gather ing place; a large gymnasium for the use of all as well as laboratories for science work, and such an ar engagement of class rooms as to make possible the reorganization of the school upon the "six-six' plan, by which the grade work proper is completed in the sixth grade, while grades seven, eight and nine consti- ute what is known as the junior high school, with the remaining grades, ten eleven and twelve form ina the senior high school. This grouping of classes has been found very advantageous by the progressive schools which have been so situated to bo ah1a n a6Ont if

 Miss Eastman was very much sur prised to find some of her old school mates from Yakima, Washington, liv- ing in Cordova.

We have a new trapeze in the playroom this year, which is very much enjoyed. One stands on the bench and while the trapeze is swinging, jumps and catches hold of the bar. A stairway has been con- structed from the upper to the low CT playrooms; also passage from the upper playroom to the school house

DAILY HEALTH INSPECTION

Did you sleep with your WlndoWs open last night?
 Did you brush your teeth last night and this morning?
 Did you wash your face, hands, neck and ears before coming to school?
 Are your finger nails clean?
 Did you do without tea and coffee yesterday?
 Did you play at least one game yesterday?
 Did you practice at least three phy- sical training exercises yesterday?
 Did you try to sit. stand and walk correctly yesterday?
 Did you keep your desk and floor space tidy yesterday?
 Did you do at least one helpful deed yesterday?
 Parents can help a great deal if they will cooperate with the teachers in seeing that their children carry out the above suggestions.
 Folk dancing is being taught in this school this year partly to offset our lack of proper play-game space, but there are some other good reasons for teaching it aside from the pleas ant exercise it affords, and these are very well set forth in an interesting ioly of America's foremost educational lead CTS, which paper will be printed in an early edition of the school notes Monthly report cards will be given to the pupils of all grades except those entering first grade class next Monday noon. Parents are asked to go over the grades carefully with their children, then sign the cards in the proper spaces and see that they are promptly returned to the teachers not later than the following day.
 Miss Temples geography class is
  their work.
 Some very good work in music is being done this year under the di- recton of Miss Coulter in the first five grades while Miss Haggland has charge of this work in grammar grades and high school.
 Miss Temple expresses herself as delighted with Cordova, it having the one drawback of being too civilized, as she had expected it much rougher here.
 Parents, is it your boy who plays on the street until a very late hour night after night? If so don't be sur prised if he brings home low grades A growing child must have a proper amount of sleep in order to do ac- ceptable work in school.

NEW YORK, November 20.-An

followed by rallies in the market
for coffee futures here today as a
result Of covering for over the week

Climax Of War Imitation.

MAKING DIAMONDS POSSIBLE
President Of Dutch Workers Union
Admits Artificial Process May
Be Known.

Amsterdam.-Henry Polak, presi-
dent of the Dutch Diamond Workers
union. says it is no impossible that
a German explosives firm has dis
covered how to manufacture diamonds
artificially, as 1t claims to have done.
The chief difficulty is to obtain an
u~nbelievably powerful pressure under
the right circumstances, NJ. Polak ex
planned. Since 1t Is a manufacturer
of explosives which Is reported to have
discovered the method Of making dia-
monds, he said it was possible that
experimenters had succeeded In OBJ
tanning the desired pressure.
NJ. Polak expressed some doubt as to
whether diamonds could be manufac-
tured artificially at less than the cost
of mining them.
1t was recently announced in Berlin
that a dynamite company Of Hamburg
had obtained the patent for the man
ufacture of diamonds and was in a
position to produce several hundred
carats daily at a cost less than the
present world price for the natural
stones.
