Boys of the high school who arc

 club at the regular meeting at the
 Burritt hotel today. Those who
 were present were Roland Hale, Carl Hansen, Howard Hausman. Max

 the only other honor boy, was not
 present. At the head table with
 the boys were Principal L. P. Slade and his assistant J. c. Moody.
 After the usual routine business of the club had been completed, Presi-
 dent Frank Shield called upon Mr.
 Slade to explain What 1t is all
 about Mir. Slade said 1t meant that there has been developed bet ter spirit of work In the high school than there has been at any time during his 12 years experience as principal. He said 1t meant that the seven honor boys had attained approximately S5 per cent or better in a general average in all their studies.
 The boys were congratulated by Rev. Theodore A. Greene, pastor of the First Congregational church. MT. Greene called attention to a statement of Napoleon, who one time said, "Remember, every hour wasted in school means chance of misfortune in future fife" He ad- viscd the boys to forget that they had attained an honor in high school and 10 press on for additional honors. He said the thing that makes a man an honor man is the fact that he has done more than was absolutely necessary in order to get by.
 He said, "In all walks of life the man who Is wanted is the man who knows his stuff. He must not only know his stuff, but must know how to use it." He called attention to the fact that there is a difference some times between an educated man and an intelligent man. He quoted a school girl who once answered this question by saying, "An educated man is one who gets his thinks out of books but an intelligent man works his own thinks" He said he though the honor students in high | school had demonstrated that they were both educated and intelligent.
 He quoted a custom at Oxford of having but two classes of men, hon. pr men aud pass men, and said There isn't a first class business hat ever would take pass man If t could get an honor man. The margin of excellence is not only a hing we need to keep but we must keep 1t if we are to be successful"
 The thanks and appreciation of he students was expressed by How ard HaYsman.
 Dwight Skinner, manager of the ooys' baseball league reported that he league will open July 10 and will play Tuesday and Friday morn ngs at Walnut Hill park. He said he league was limited to six teams. Whom Judge George w. klett point ,d out that 1t would be more con ienient for businessmen to attend hese games in the afternoon Mr. Skinner said he would ascertain If 1t were possible to make the change.

The site has been leased for a period of three years and is locat- ad across the pond from the former ,amp site. A letter, read at the meeting of the club today by Presi- lent Shield, asked that members of be club go down on that day with carpenter tools and help put up the shack. George II, Dyson and R. O.
