SCHOOL. NOTES

George Washington. He was a good
man. We have picture of him in
the back of our room. He is riding
his horse.-Ollie Armstrong, Grade
4.
We have a new boy in our room
His name is Manuel He came from
Selma, Cal. The school that he
went to was named Washington
He knows how to spin a top.-Ru-
ben, Grade 4.
We have a maxim on the board
about George Washington. 1t says
Associate yourselves with men of
good quality, if you value your own
reputation, for it is better to be
alone than in bad company. Don
ME May Wyatt, Grade 4.
Every morning we have test on
the multiplication tables. Some of
the pupils get perfect scores. In my
row only Thomas and 1 got good
ScoreS.-JesuS Dominguez Grade 5.
We are making a map of the
United States in groups. We have
drawn two groups already, the Pa
cific states and the Plateau states.
We are studying the North Central
states now. We are going to draw
a map of them and put it with the
other groups. There are 25 states
to study.-Eva Leyva, Grade 5.

Last week our teacher would give
us each day about 10 problems in
arithmetic. He wrote down the
names of the pupils who got the an
SWers to the problems first. The
seventh grade always beat our
group. We thought this was unfair
because they were better in their
work than we were. I think that it
makes us work faster, however,
