ASKOV SCHOOL COLUMN

This week closes the first half
of the school year. Wonder if
half of the work has been
covered?
Margaret Schroeder entered
the eighth grade last week. We
are glad to have her back.
Mr.. Petersen of the Johnson
Service Co, was here Monday to
inspect the heat regulating sys-
tenn. While here he replaced all
the old thermostats with new
ones.
Last Thursday the economics
class took the state examination
in that subject. All the students
passed with a fair mark.
The civics, bookkeeping, and
animal husbandry classes are
closing the work in these subjects
this week. The final examina-
tions in these subjects will be
given Friday.
Last Friday the eighth history
class had lively debate on the
subject: Resolved, that children
under i6 should be permitted to
work in factories. The negative
won the decision of the judges.
A change was made last week
in the heating of the Danish
room by extending into the room
hot air duct opening into one of
the halls. Now the room can be
kept sufficiently warm.
The recent cold weather has
impaired attendance consider
ably. A number in the primary
grades are remaining at home
due to the severe cold and a large
number from all grades are con-
fined to their homes because of
illness.
The pupils in several of the
grades started on a series of
health chores covering a period
of Is weeks. We believe the
children should be encouraged
and given assistance in perform
ing these health chores in order
to establish desirable health
habits while in the formative
when the acquiring of habits is
easy.
Due to various causes the
school has not put on any movies
this school year. However, ar
rangementS are now under way
by which the first movies will be
shown next month. Three or
four additional pictures will be
shown during the spring months.
