NOTES

The long-loOked-for vacation DAYS
are here and most OF the school chill
dren as well as teachers who could
get away have left town or gone to
the country. Miss Hanna and Miss
HOag left this week for Kansas,
driving overland in a new Ford. Mr..

for Greeley, Colorado, where Mr..
Robuck will take some courses at
the hummer school.
Due to a lack OF funds the school
district Ii not able to maintain a
summer school this year. Some OF
the home teachers. namely Mrs.
Barnes, Mrs. Ekdahl and Miss
Phelan are doing some private tutor
ing this summer. Pupils who we're
conditioned should study up In those
subjects this summer and take an
examination when school opens in
September.
The work will be considered made
up and the condition removed IL
the pupil passes the examination.

A new Burroughs calculator has
been purchased for the use of the
commercial department. This is
part OF the equipment OF every up
to-date commercial school and will
be found very valuable In the COM
mercial work. A regular course OF
study for the use OF the calculator
has been published which makes the
use OF this machine quite scientific.
1t can also be used as a straight add
ing machine n will often prove of
great value in connection with audit
ing and checking the books and ac-
! counts Of the school district.
The north side of the high school
grounds has been improved by the
addition of curbing. 1t Is planned to
add some curbing zach yea until
the work is complete.
