TAXPAYERS MEETING
TUESDAY EVENING.

per year.s.It was generally agreed
by the assembly that We must have
competent teachers and must pay
a fair salary to get them.
The Beard explained the reason
! for not asking for public bids in
erecting the superintendents house.
II was to keep the money at home
and hire local labor The cost as
corroberated by two men present
who had built homes on contract
was no greater. The Board explain
ed how money had been saved the
district in the matter of the pur-
chase of busses. 1t was stated that
the salary of the superintendent
had been raised only S100 over the
past year and that $40 month was
being received for the new house
which was turned into the inter
est fund.
The net results of the meeting
seemed to be a new confidence on
the part OF the people in the judg-
ment and service of the School
Board

This very successfully closes up
the school year for the Seniors and
will be very busy week for this
class.
As an lnducemcnt to better
grades a half holiday was offered
to the class that made the largest
percentage of increase each six
weeks. This holiday was to be
given on the day the report cards
were given out and the Senior class
we're the lucky ones for the last
six weeks. This tends to create
considerable rivalry and excite
ment in the student body and has
also caused considerable raising
OF grades.
There was no vocational talk last
week.
The buses have been having
considerable trouble for two weeks
making their routes, because OF
the heavy snow and mud.
A Taxpayers meeting was held
in the auditorium Tuesday night.
A more detailed account of this
VIII be found elsewhere.

and great many of the grade

A few are trapped IN nets, some are caught

back and hangs the monkey, usually by the

and not easy to trap The great majority
of monkeys taken for their fur are shot
by African natives with bows and poisoned
arrows-the old primitive weapon they
have used for thousands OF years,
The natives 30 out in bands, which sep
arate and go stalking through the noun.
tain side forests or jungles in search OF a
monkey tribe or group.
When one stalker locates a company OF
monkeys he sets up peculiar bird cry,
which notifies his companions without ap.
prislng the monkeys that human enemies
are at hand. When the band Is gathered
together near tree or group Of trees
where the monkeys have taken refuge,
they hide as carefully as possible in the
brush surrounding the spot and begin TO
discharge their arrows.
