number of the Senior High pupils

The past week has been "Educa-
tional Week" The teachers, espec-
tally in the grades have stressed the
constitution and in the Senior and
Junior High there have been numer-
Gus speeches.
A number of the Senior High pu-
pills, although we really can't limit it
to the students have been attempting
to do the now popular dance, "The
Charleston. This popular dance has
swept the country with unusual pop
ularity, every college, university and
High School seems to have certain
number of "Charlestoners. If the
Charleston is the beginning everyone
who has been laboriously practising
this is wondering what will be the
rage by the time they can Charles
ton" with any degree of certainty.
Junior High Notes
Mrs. C. L. Scott and daughter Mil
/ dred visited Miss Beulah Scott, the
Second Grade teacher, during the
week end.
| Thursday morning of last week the
whole kindergarten went on tour to
see Henry Borgmann's farm. The
children went in the school bus and
they all seemed to have had won
derful time playing in the straw and
seeing the large modern barn. Mrs.
Borgmann gave the children milk
| and cookies. This visit will probably
be a memorial event in the Kinder
gartner's year.
Miss Skeletons Third Grade are
having a contest to see who can get
to normal weight first, the whole
contest seems to be based on gaining
weight is really too bad few of
the Senior High pupils can't join.
Three new pupils entered the
Junior High Monday morning. Evelyn
Casey, Lester Iwinski and Joe Ras-
muSSmuSen.
1t seems that the Kindergartens
have done about everything there is
to do-they have, been farmers, car
penters, artists and architects, now
they have turned to the art of
painting this week. They are each
to paint their own clay board-just
so they confne their painting to the
clay boards we suppose. Painting is
splendid practise for the children;
surely a number of the Senior High
girls will confirm this.
Miss Laura Peterson, a former
Sank Centre teacher was the guest of
Miss Nitardy over the week end.
Saturday afternoon Miss Nitardy
entertained at Bridge in honor of
Miss Peterson.
Friday afternoon number of the
Junior High students visited the SEN
ior High to hear the program given
by the Davies Opera Company.

Health Hints
In a recent series of health con.
ferences held in towns many children
were presented for examination who
were plainly suffering from the lack
of outdoor exercise. When que.
toned as to why the children were
not kept out, the mothers quite COM
monty replied that they would not
stay out of doors alone and that the
mothers did not have time to spend
in this way. 1t is surprising to find
how many parents fail to provide
playthings or occupations which in
terest the children and keep them
safe and happy even away from their
elders. To provide children with ma
terial for happy healty play requires
no large outlay either of money or
time, but it is often necessary to
urge mothers to open the doors, both
literally and figuratively, to the
children.
For the younger children sand
piles, safe swings, small gardening
operations, playing in the snow,
