 By the way, Prof. Wood and his able assistants know how to vary the monotony of school life, by giving an outing to the children now and then. Last Friday Mrs. Wood and Miss Mathis took the younger chil- dren to the Fulton Grove to spend the day. They had delightful time play ing until noon, but were glad when dinner time came, for what is more en- joyable than a picnic lunch? Their stay after lunch was cut short, how ever, by dark clouds appearing and they started for home, but stopped at the large lumber shed-such nice place to play--and were there during the hailstorm. Prof. Woods and Miss Copes took the older pupils to Six Nils creek, where they all enjoyed themselves, but had to rush to get back to Cove before the storm came. Happily they all made it just in time.
