TO our minds.
The first boys game Of the season,
played with Gordo, on the Lee High
court resulted both in victory and in
loss for the Generals. The score was
in our favor, but the pocket book
was flat. Out of the coaeh's pocket
came large per cent Of the money
for the expenses of the visiting team.
Games of basket ball are schedul-
ed for the following three weeks
with both boys and girls teams.
Several of these points for field day
contests will be given to the winners
of these games. Some of the games
will be played in Columbus. Don't

StereOptican Machines and Slides for
Public Schools.


Public Schools.
Barrow, Franklin and Union Acad-
envy have purchased about $500
worth of stereoptican machines and
slides for work in the school room.
The Patron Teacher Associations and
the teachers have taken on them
selves the responsibility for paying
for this important equipment.
Six hundred slides came with each
machine, as well as stereograph
and six hundred pictures like the
slides. While the slide is being shown
on the screen in the room, the stereo-
graph of the same scene can be
passed around the room so that the
child can see the picture in the third
dimension. The slides and pictures
are systematically indexed so that no
time shall be wasted in search for the
slide. If the instructor wishes to il
lustrate lesson about Norway, or
any other country, she can go to
the cabinet and in an instant learn
how many slides she has on that
topic.
These pictures are expected to do
here what they have done in hundreds
of other schools, to vitalize work in
history, geography, literature and al
most any school subject you could
mention, as well as aid in oral ex-
preston. In many schools the chill
