SCHOOL NOTES
Interesting Items Gathered During
Past Week By Supt.
Brohaueh,

The school enrolment is steadily
increasing. A number of new stu
dents entered the grades and high
school this week.
The chairs ordered for the use of
teachers, visitors and school board
members in the new building have
just been received. They~are of ex-
ceptionally good quality being built
of quarter-sawed oak, and they are
stained to match the woodwork.
Inc Baby Grand piano presented to
the school ny the CLASSES OF 1919 ana
1870 was msLaued in the JUNIOR Hlgn
school last week. The upper class
men were especially ANXIOUS to have
the piano placed in the Senior High
school, but owing to It's size and to
Ine lack OF room we were forced to
place it on the stage OF the Junior
Assembly room. Practically all OF
our entertainments in the future will
De held in the latter assembly room
so that this is perhaps the best place
Tor it. The piano was bought through
MIR. A. J. HoDble who made the school
very low price on it..
This week we plan to check up all
students OF school age who have not
yet enrolled. We find that a number
OF parents are keeping their children
home to work, or have permitted
them to hire out to others for SINH
lar purpose. The State School Law
very definitely says that all children
under sixteen years of age who have
not completed the eighth grade must
attend school every day that school
is taught. Every citizen who is in
terested in the welfare of his city
should report cases of truancy to the
school authorities.
Monday afternoon delightful VIC
lin and piano concert was enjoyed by
the pupils of the grades and the high
school. This concert was given by
Mr.. Edwin Harris Bergh who played
the violin, and Miss Skauge who
played the piano. The music was very
good and the humor of Mr. Bergh was
enjoyed very much by all the boys
| and girls.
Through the courtesy of Messrs.
Stanford, Rowat and Bredeson we
| have secured the free use of last years
| football field. We surely appreciate
the kindness of these kind gentle
| men and will do our part to keen the
grounds in good shape.
Loyal Tallakson, one of the bows
IN the Senior high school, won first
place in the Kandiyohi County Boys
and Girls Duroc Sound Litter Club.
The prize he received was a free trip
to the State Fair with all expenses
| paid, including express on his litter
of pigs.
The Parent Teachers Association
OF the Lafayette School will have it's
/ first meeting at the school house, on
Friday, September oath, at 3:45. The
teachers will serve and all parents
are invited to attend.
Doctor M. c.. Bergheim of Madison,
S. D., visited the school on Monday.

Olof College and the University of
Minnesota. He taught for several
years under the supervision of Super
intendent Brohaugh.

grades are enjoying their manual
training work under the supervision
OF Mr.. Erickson very much. Sewing
classes for the girls will be organized
very soon. Unfortunately the Domes
tic Science teacher has her hands full
with the work for the Senior High
and so can do little more than plan
the work for the seventh and eighth
grades. We are badly in need of an
other Home Economics teacher who
can take charge of both cooking anG
sewing in the Junior High. At presen,
only sewing can be offered and thai
will be taken care of by one or two
OF the regular teachers.
The contract for draperies to cove,
the large windows in the Junior High
school has been awarded by the build
ing committee to the John w. Thomas
Co. of Minneapolis. They have prom
lsed to have the shades installed just
as quickly as it is possible.

best quality were received this week
