County superintendent Visit.


County Superintendent of School,
Mr.. J. F. Casebeer, recently spent
two days visiting and inspecting the
local schools. He paid very high
compliment to the organization of the
system and to the eXceptonal
strength of the teaching staff. We
are very much delighted to have this
expression of approval from the head
of our county educational system. We
also wish to have it remembered that
Mrs. Spencer, as representative fron,
the state superintendent office. not
long ago voluntarily called attention
to teachers of the county that Leav-
enworth's record in the silent reading
tests was exceptionally fine. These
things, together with the record 50
far made this year by our seventh
and eighth graders in the state ex-
aminations, would seem to indicate
that Supt. Casebeer knew what he
was talking about when he said tia.
the Leavenworth schools rank right
at the top with the best schools r
Chelan county.

The L. H. s. has one of the best
equipped manual training shops in
the county.
This shop is up-to date in every re-
spect, a large roomy place, equipped
with modern electric driven machin-
cry, electric lights, lumber, painting
and mechanical drawing rooms, work
benches andh and tools. The cedar
chests, tables. desks, chairs, and nu-
merous other articles are Il credit to
the manual training department, and
to Mr.. w. F. Bickel, the instructo.,
who deserves the credit for the mar
velous transformation from a little
dinky shop into the modern shop of
today.
No one will miss Mr. Bickel more
than the boys of the manual training
department, and it is needless to say
that he will be greatly missed whor
school opens again next September.
The manual training department
has not spent all of the time making
chairs and tables. great deal Of
time has been spent in doing thin~s
for the improvement of various
school rooms, remodelng the stage
of the auditorium and making things
and doing various errands for the
many teachers. in fact, the depart
ment is one where practical work is
done and something which helpe
raise the school to the highest stand
ards of efficiency.

Advice to Freshmen.

My dear little Freshmen-whel
first your brilliant hued countenances
were viewed by us, we thought you
were hopeless. Under our tutelage
the emerald color has faded and in
telligence dawned. Therefore, take
heed lest this benefit be lost and yon
also. The great class of 100 tremble3
for the future of our little brother
but fear not for if you study as have
we, you shall one day become nearly
as great as we, always do as we have
done, loiter not but toll over you
pages of learning and be respectful
of your elders, and your betters Let
not your heads be swclled in the en-
suing year as many classes before
you have, but take your honors with
moderation. We impart these frag-
ments of timely advice from our store
Of hard learning, not gludgingly, but
freely. The departing class will nev-
er regret these words of wisdom and
we do truly hope you will prize them
gratefully.
The Fresh this year
Are not so green
As Freshies sometimes are,
You'll all agree
With me I'm sure
They've beat the Sophs by far.

CHAPTER XIII.

In the colorless days that followed,
Hilliard listlessly set about the order
ing Of his final plans. fortunately,
there were few Of them; his MIND
would never have been equal to intri-
cate detail.
IT was a slight consolation to him to
r.oI,ze that the city had a habit OF
Judging men by personal rather than
bv financial standards; for all Its
nride and wealth, 1t would censure him
more for his wrecked personality than
,or whatever money losses he had
caused. He was prepared to endure
that censure; and because ne under
stood the provocation behind It, ne

the memory of Dicky Morgan rest in
peace. and to let the brunt Of anger
fall on Henry Hilliard. who was a no.
body from nowhere, with a lying face
a lying tongue, and no claque to mourn
at his exit.
But then there was Angela's start
ling allegation She had declared
that Everybody" in town knew all
about Hilliard and Carol. EVERY
body" would have different opinion.
He had tried to explain himself to
Carol, and he had failed; and in the
light of Angela's revelation, it was diff
ficult to decide whether Carol herself,
in protesting that she wanted to re-
tain him as friend, had meant that
and nothing more, or that and great
deal more. But no matter what she
had intended to convey, he dared not
go to her again, he dared not see her
and speak to her, for if he lied to her
:. but he couldn't lie to her now,
and every word of truth would prove
boomerang. He was trapped; and
although his heart was breaking for
the love he had almost won a second
time, he remained steadfast to the
ideals he had created. If Carol were
to lose him as n suitor, she should nev-
er know that her first and foremost
suitor had gone to the devil.
He told himself fiercely there was
one definite and permanent way out
| of it. Nobody would then have
cause to gossip about Dicky Morgan !;
no One-after the first natural flood of
excitement and denunciation-would
remember very much about Henry
Hilliard. 1t would save such q deal Of
needless trouble; it would save such a
| wearisome amount of shame.
But against the pitiless background
| Of the war; self-destruction as a means
Of avoiding personal difficulties. self
caused, seemed curiously repellent-
curiously cheap.
No 1t was part of his own
| grievance that Carol and the others
must greve. too; he had dual re-
sponsibility to society. He had no
right to leave these matters clouded by
any uncertainty of motive. Syracuse
had right to know the facts; and IL
the facts brought pain to those he
loved. why. that was something he
should have thought about In June,
and not in November.
AS he clung comfortless to the last
| slipping hours Of the reputation he
had so carefully builded. he knew that
1t wasn't the punishment of the law
that he dreaded, 1t was the ostracism
which would accompany 1t. 1t wasn't
his own shame which gripped him, 1t
was the consciousness of the shame
which would attach to his friends.
And so, for day or two. all hiss fac
ulties were strung upon the attitude
of the public toward him; he was
watching frantically for the first signs
of adverse demeanor, and bracIng him
self for the shock which was unavoid-
ably to come. For secrets will out.
and although he had no reason to ex-
pect Waring to break his pledge, he
knew that when rumor smolders
among as many as four people, there
comes-there always comes-a mo-
ment In which 1t bursts forth in spon-

Divers In Ancient History.

The earliest mention of diving is
made by Homer. about $40 B. c., In
the "Iliad." when Patroclus compares
the fall of Hector's churioteer to a
diver diving for oysters; and Thucy-
dides tells of divers being used to re-
move submarine barriers placed with
the object of impeding or injuring
the Grecian fleet at the siege of Syra-
cuse. These divers had no apparatus
save a stone to carry them quickly to
the bottom and to cling to for the
brief period. about two minutes. they
could stay below. This Is called nat
ural diving and is still in use for col
lecting spongcs and pearls at Ceylon
and in the Mediterranean.

Let us remember that God Is at the
