NOTES TO TEACHER

We paid attention to the words
of a teacher who remarked how Oft
en- parents made their children dis
honest through notes to school. We
realized the ruth Of her statement
and pass along her advice to Ken
newick parents. There are MANY
times when Junior is absent due to
illness or when Mary was excused
due to necessity at home. There
are many times when notes are
justified and each teacher expects
to receive them from parents But
the complaint is that too often a
parent will use an untruth as an ex-
cuse in the note. The instructor
would far rather have it that the
family attended a picnic or the
circus, or that the child dawdled
over breakfast and was late to
school, than that "illness prevent
ed" We must practice truth to i'm
press child with its Importance.

an additional twenty-four lines.

 As regards recent Chinese claims of big victories in winter offen- sive, the statement said that the Japanese had not been driven from any important point, It might be true, the statement said, that the Chinese had retakon large areas, but this was because the Japanese lines were not continuous and the Chin- csc were thus able to recapture areas between Japanese occupation points,
