The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1924-11-13

jects to a greater extent than here
tofore. A number of other points of
value for the betterment of the local
High school were thoroughly dis
.ussed.
Two h~undred-fifty of the Wolf
Point pupils started Bible study in
the various churches of the city on
Wednesday of last week. Since that
time twenty more have enrolled.
This work does not in any way inter
fere with school work.
To Attend Normal
Miss Irene Hanson, the first grad
uate from the Wolf Point Normal
Training course will soon finish her
work at the Pershing School. She
will then attend the State Normal at
Dillon for the winter quarter. John
Brown who will finish his term of
school on Nov. IA will also attend
the State Normal for the winter
quarter. Leslie Mcneil, a 1924
graduate, is taking some review work
in the Normal Training Department.
He will also attend Dillon. Tt is about
time that some work is being done
for a State Normal in this section of
the state.
Misses WINES and Nelson have
started play stores in their rooms.
These will give an opportunity for a
practical application Of number work.
The second grade in charge of Miss
WINES has made some excellent
booklets. This room is being decor
ated with Thanksgiving posters.
Mss Nelson has a clever board
decoration in the first grade room.
It suggests a number of the Nursery
Stories. On the wall she has placed
q number of posters which urge us
to place better books in the home.
Good books will do much to keep your
boys and girls satisfied. A little
money spent for good books is the
best investment you can make. The
reading habit can be developed. Our
library is limited. The new books
that we buy each year are worn to
ribbons by the end Of the year. Some
of these books are read by as many
as Is pupils during a year.
Glasses Study Voting
The Sociology and Civics classes
visited the voting places on election
day in order to learn a little nor
about the actual voting process. We
hope that we can teach them to go to
the polls. 100000 people out of
$4,000, 900 people cast ballots at the
recent election. 1t seems that the
more educated we become, the larger
the ballot they hand out. Very often
people mark ballots in such ways
that they cancel the vote. More at
~tention should be given to this phase
eff Civics.
We hope to send two Of Senior
Girls, Irene DER and Marjorie Knapp
to the girls Vocational Conference
at Bozeman on Nov. 10, 20 and 21.
This is one of the big High school
meetings of the year. The State
Teachers meeting will be held at
Great Falls during the week of
Thanksgiving.
The Dry Forks school raised $1O.-
10 at a social recently. This money
will be used to purchase books, pic
lures and etc. for the school. This
recently purchased an organ.
The money was raised by giving en-
tertainments. Miss Agnes Dotseth
IS the teacher.

chase extra things to make the school
