A boys glee club will be organized

bine with the girls glee club to give

The pupils of the seventh grade
have completed the study of Stevens
county and Minnesota. Interesting
booklets were made after the study
of each had been made. Each pupil
Quainted with the state and county
in which they live.
The seventh grade was also much
interested in their study Of the con-
tinents of Asia and Africa which
have been completed. They were
especially interested In the peculiar
customs and traditions of the people
of each continent.
Each pupil in the seventh. grade is
working on the topic my share in
Making the Highways Safe" That
is a problem that every wide-awake
American ought to be interested in.
So Se haf Tn
garet Hanson Of the seventh grade
wrote on How to Beautify and I'M
prove the City of Norris"
Although, Morris ranks as one Of
the prosperous cities Of the state it
still needs many improvements to
better the health conditions and to
beautify it.
The people of Morris as good citi-
Zens could have many improvements
made such as having a better, light
ing system. If Morris had better
lights it would help to prevent some
Of the many accidents that so often
occur. There should be lights put
on every corner of the town with the
cluster globes.
Another thing that the people
should give their care to is Crystal
Lake. If the people could raise the
money it would be a good idea to
have the bottom of the lake cleaned.
If the lake were cleaned out people
could go bathing in it. A bridge
should be built from the shore to the
island where the people could hold
picnics. There should also be a
driving road around the lake so it
/ would be more pleasant for the driv-
ers.
If the people thought more of their
city they would have the COWS staked
; outside of the city limits. They
should also have their chickens
penned up instead of letting them
run all over.
The old houses that are still stand
ing should either be torn down or
else painted. If the old houses were
torn down, new ones would have to
be built in their places.
The city park should be fixed up
I so thatthe people could go over and
spend Sunday afternoons, instead of
having them as ornaments to look at.
| The lawns should be mown two times
week or more. There should be a
sidewalk around it and across it.
Electric lights would greatly improve
! the appearance of the park.
! Another improvement that could
be made is to have hospital in Nor
ris so that the people that are sick
would not have to go to other cities.
| Another thing that the city of
Norris needs very badly is a. better
depot. The depot should be torn
down and new one built in its
place. The old ties that are removed
/ should be taken further out of town.
Another improvement that could
be made are the sidewalks on main
street. The sidewalks ought to be
leveled out, so that when it rains big
puddles of water would not be left
standing.
The city Of Norris should have a
factory built so that some of 1.-The
young boys and girls that bum the
streets could be employed / think
if these improvements W made
that Morris would grow Iaster and
also become very importanteE.a city
of Minnesota.
