and get a book and return it the
following week. We are glad to
hear Shirley Ann Cordell has now
started school. She was unable to
attend before this time because Of
illness.
The third grade is working In
dian paper designs such as blan-
kets and rugs. In art, they are
making decorations for October to
use in their room. The third and
fourth grades are working together
on these decorations. Willis Woods
mother was a visitor Wednesday.
She attended all morning classes.
The fourth graders won the lib
rary banner for this week. They
were proud to have it on their door
for the first week it was up. They
are trying hard to read enough
books to be able to keep it. On
Friday they held their regular club
meeting, at which they appointed
housekeepers and monitors. After
the business meeting they were en-
tertained by a Major Bowes pro-
gram. The health classes have
been studying about the care Of the
eyes. Miss Bone brought her Smell
len chart to their room and ex-
planned how to use it. They have
been testing their eyes.
The fifth graders have made a
collection Of many kinds Of stones
found in Minnesota. This collec-
ton includes granite, quartz, sand
stone and limestone. In art class
they are decorating their room for
October. Everyone Is reading his
library book so they can win the
Library Champ banner from Miss
Walters room. They have been
studying how the colonists lived in
their History class and have found
1t interesting to learn that the lit
tie boys and girls used Hornbooks
instead of books like ours.
The sixth grade club had an IN
Gle Jim Quiz program this week.
Miss Holden tells me they are now
making plans for a Major Bowes
Amateur Hour. I think they are
really getting into the swing Of
things. This week they took an
other test, the Gates Reading test.
Jimmy Cordell entered school after
an illness, and his classmates SEEM
ed glad to have him back again.
Library
Now that everyone has adapted
themselves to school routine, the
library has, too. Glasses are held
every day which hold the interests
of all the pupils. Each week a
banner is given to that class which
has read the highest per cent Of
books. This has encouraged read
ing among the grades to quite an
extent. Miss Dybdals class, having
read the highest percent of books,
were library champs for last week.
Book week will be the first part
of November. During that week
the library will have on exhibition
a number Of new books. Until book
week a review will be given in
each publication of this column, of
all the books to be shown then.
Among those books will be Mar
istan Chapman's book, "Glen Haz-
ard Cowboys" Whoop it up with
the Glen Hazard boys on their visit
to an Arizona ranch. Travel with
them on a hilarious ride across the
country in trailer full of quack-
ing ducks. Join them as they are
initiated into the pleasures and
hardships of life on a ranch, ride
with them in a roundup, exper-
fence a thrilling lion hunt and a
wild stampede; and then rejoice
with them as they outwit the Mex
lean william, Don Jose de la Mesa.
These are only few of the adj
ventures awaiting the reader of
this together absorbing story. When
Rock Bottom, the hound dog, caus-
ed an automobile smash-up in
"Glen Hazard" he started q chain
of events which resulted in Dale
Gillow, Vester Lane and Sadler
Jones leaving their home in the
Tennessee mountains for the first
time, to head for Arizona in a car
and trailer with a real Western
rancher and his sixteen-year-old
daughter. Arriving at their des-
tination, they are dismayed to find
the ranch house burned to the
ground. How the boys turn cow
boys and help the friendly rancher
circumvent his old enemy makes
grand reading. And as in all the
Glen Hazard books, humorous sit
uations mingle with excitement and
thrills to make a tale of the most
engaging sort.
