School Exhibit April oath to 2Sth.

School Exhibit April Oath to 28th.
Our annual school exhibit will be
held next week in the upper hall of
the school building. Work will be
on display all week and the build
ing will be open both Thursday and
Friday evenings from 7:30 until
1890. This will give all an OPP
portunity to see the results of the
year to the extent that they can be
shown in written form. Fathers
and others who cannot leave their
work during the day are urged to
come in the evening.
The work of every student who
has been in attendance for any
length of time has been saved and
will be shown by the side of that of
his class mates. This gives oppor-
tunity for comparison. While we
want the exhibit to present good
appearance we have avoided making
it for show purposes only, 1t will
be representative and contain the
work Of the poor student along with
that of the class star. Note books
in spelling, arithmetic and other sub
jects will be shown with daily work
which has been done over period
of months. The work will be ar
ranged by grades and so labelled
This will make it easy and conveni-
ent to find the work of any student
If you know the grade he is in.
There will be charts showing how
students rank in spelling and arith-
metic, one star on the chart usually
indicating a week of perfect work,
The wall charts in health work will
also be posted showing the students
growth in weight and how faithful
he has been in the doing of his
health chores. The only decora
tions used will be the art and draw
ing papers. Sometimes an old note
book will be covered by some of
these but between the covers will
be found much regular school work
mistakes and all. Penmanship
work from all of the grades will be
shown separately The commercial
department of the high school will
also have work on display in Mrs.
Hays room at the end of the hall.
Last year we had a very credit
able showing and we hope to do
well again. Students and
teachers have done considerable ex-
ira work in preparation. They will
having their efforts care
fully examined by large number
of parents and patrons. All are
cordially invited and urged to at
tend
SCHOOL CLOSES MAY 26th.
There are only six weeks Of school
including the present one before
summer vacation. Commencement |
will be May 26th. For some stu
dents the last six week period is like
the sixth and last lap of a race. 1t
is the deciding period and determines
whether promotion will be won or
lost We appeal to parents to help |
all students in every way possible
but especially those who are near
the border line of failure and sue
cess. When spring comes with |
warmer weather there are more di-
versions than ever to distract the at
tention of students. Boys, especial
ly, have longings to go fishing and
do a hundred other things which |
may be proper at the right time but
which are not conducive to scholar
ship when done when school Is in
session A few grade boys are now
repenting for skipping school. X
is a sad disappointment to find II
necessary to remain in school more
than was missed by skipping. A
work of encouragement or explana-
tion often prevents bad after effects.
In the remaining few weeks let us
all work and cooperate 10 secure
the best percentage Of we'll earned |
promotion possible
