ceeding generation. This is largely
due to the modern methods of trans
portation. The following are some of
the qualities of spirit that the modern
youth needs: courage, correct esti-
mate, historical sense and the spirit
of knowing what is right. Our young
people are building foundations to-
day for the lives of tomorrow.
Mrs. John Coffey sent over a large
number of Harper's magazines for
use in school library. Judge Cor
don sent up the City Builder. These
magazines contain many articles of
value to us in the school room. Many
magazines are used when our stu
dents begin to prepare for the inter-
class debates and the extempor-
aneous speaking contest.
The marks for Bible and piano
work were not put on the report
cards SEN out at the end of the third
month. These marks will be on the
cards at the end of the fourth month.
The cards will be given out once
more this semester.
New Victrola
Our new Victrola is being used. 1t
is the closed type and folds up like
a suit case 1t can easily be carried
from room to room. 1t will be left in
each grade room 21a days and then
sent to the next room. Our music
memory contest work will start af-
ter the holidays. Twenty-Five new
records have been ordered. The Wo-
mans Club is backing the contest.
DR.. Veldhuis of the Indian Depart
ment examined all of the Indian
children who are attending the Wolf
Point school. We wish to thank him
for his cooperation. We believe that
it would be a wise action to have all
children attending the public schools
examined at least once a year by a
doctor and also by a dentist. Many
children do poor work in school be-
cause of their physical condition. The
general attendance during the last
two weeks has been much better.
Mr.. Livingston has been giving
vocabulary tests to the various high
school classes. AS soon as the Seniors
and Juniors have taken them, a re-
port will be made. These tests will be
followed up by word-analysis drills
in order to increase the vocabulary
Of each pupil. There will be a greater
demand for dictionaries after the re-
suits of the test are known.
