"The Sin Flood"

The new Goldwyn photoplay, 1.-THE
Sin Flood" coming to the Opera
House for two days beginning to-
morrow is the kind of drama that
gives one the feeling of undergoing a
personal experience. The screen
seems to disappear, and we take part
in the activities Of the characters be-
fore us.
This is realism carried to the high
est degree, and the story lends itself
excellently to the pictorial form. 1t
is an enlarged version of the stage
play, "Syndafloden." by the eminent
Swedish dramatist. Henning Berger
None of the dramatic power of the
original hes been lost in translating
the play into the language of the
screen. "The Sin Flood" is picture
that should not be missed.-Adv.

Opening Exercises.

The opening exercise should be
the most helpful one of the day.
Too often we hear teachers tell the
pupils to study while they prepare to
teach the other class the first of the
day Too often this valuable time
is wasted. 1t is at this time that the
pupils are full of expectancy. They
are not tired. 1t is at this time that
the teacher has time to prepare and
present many subjects not often dis
cussed in the regular class period
and which leave lasting impression
upon pupils if properly presented.
Perhaps more time should be given
to the preparation of the opening
exercise period than any other in the
school.
The following outline is prepared
for each day in the week so that the
teachers and supervisors will know
what is being taught each day. Some
time the pupils may make the pre-
sentation of the topic, but as a rule
the teacher should be the one to
make it. Much of the material is
outlined in the new manual for the
teacher.
Monday-Musio-Memory gems
and poems committed.
Tuesday-Nature study, fall and
spring-Civics, winter and election.
Wednesday - Hygiene and san
itation.
Thursday-Current Events (Tell
good stories)
Friday-Biography of great men
and women-human treatment of
animals-acciden prevention.

vietrola.

/ 80 per cent of our rural schools
and 100 per cent of our state graded
schools are equipped with a victrola
IN Iron county. If you are one of
the few that are without one, talk the
matter over with the school board,
plan social or some event to pur-
the use and then explain the matter
to the board. We will, upon re-
quest, furnish list of records for
school use. A victrola can be used
successfully for morning exercises,
marching, singing and setting up
exercises. 1t can also be used in the
penmanship class for school. For
any of these cla@es, the teacher must
use judgment in the selection of re-
cords. and in the ingenuity of their
use.
In the selection of records for
school use, care should be taken not
to buy those which are of little
musical value and which will not have
/ the right influence in the training
of children. Trashy, rag-time airs
and silly sentimental songs can be of
no educational value either to the
teacher using them. There is a
book published by the Victor Co.,
which can be secured by dealers in
this machine. This book has a list
of good rural school records with a
short story about each record.
Marching To Music: Teach your
children to march to music if pos
sible. Have them form in lines in
front of door when bell rings and get
INTO step and march. Dismiss in the
same order. You have no idea how
IT will ease your problems in discip-
