1t Is startling how many boys
drop out of school when they have
finished the eighth grade. Some
OF them feel the necessity of earn
ing money. others get started at
work ard feel they would rather
continue Than TO return TO school
and as a result there is wide
difference always between the classes
that enter school and those that
finish.
In order 10 Try To rouse these
boys 10 higher interest in school,
10 impress upon them the import
ance of graduating. Henry Rinsland
will conduct "A column in this paper
for few days. MIR Rinsland is
very busy man during the closing
days of the session, but he will find
time 10 bring some interesting facts
before the children and those who
have not formed the habit of read.
ing the paper farther than to look
over the sports, are urged 10 take
the time to read what Mr.. Rnsland
has to say to them.
