Ashdown School News.

The basket ball boys have their
new suits in which the school colors,
purple and gold are used. The juniors
and seniors played the sophomores
80 to 10 in favor of the junior-senior
team. Sophomores, you had better do
better next time.
When the roll was called Thursday
morning. every one answered with a
quotation, There were many good
quotations given.
The jonior class has received several
samples of class pins, but have not yet
elected one for their class. The jun
iors seem to have more school spirit
than any other class, even the seniors
The juniors organized about two weeks
before the seniors and altho the sen,
iors have organized they have not done
anything about getting class rings.
The president of each class in high
school is to select team of four from
their class to sell season tickets for
the lyceum. Each team is to work
against the others an there is some
thing good in store for the winners.
The first number of the lyceum
course Irwin, the Magician" will be
given November 4th.
The Manual Training classes are
getting down to business. This should
be an interesting an valuable phase
of school work. Encourage the boys
by telephoning orders for simple artic-
les needed about the house.
Already some parents are protesting
because their children have been dis
ciplined. The teachers are instructed
to secure order by moral swasion if
possible, but failing in this, coercive
measures are to be employed. Some
parents in some towns fail miserably
in home discipline, yet these same par
ents expect teacher to govern SO pu-
pills without resorting to corporal pun
ishment. We hope there are no such
persons in Ashdown.
Don't get all 'het up If your little dar.
ling Is corrected. The child may real
ly need it,

week are: ,Mesdames G. V. Twyman,
