T h e friends of H e n rie tta C ham berlin are glad to note
th a t she has recovered from a period of illness.
Dr. W edge gave a very beneficial talk on hygienic
habits to the boys on last W ednesday evening.
On account of ill h ealih one of our A laskan pupils,
G eorge C h u rch ill, will leave for F o rt L apw ai or hom e
soon.
T h e p ain ters have been se ttin g glass for a hot bed
for M r. Ross and have also p ain ted p art of Brewer
H all.
T h e ca rp e n ters m ade a num ber of packing boxes
and ice boxes last w eek. T h ey are now w orking on
re p a irin g and e x h ib it w ork.
T h e farm ers have been very busy in the past w’eek.
T h ey finished m ost of th e plow ing and are clearin g
th e stu m p p atch so u th of th e barn.
U nder the able m anagem ent of Mr. Downie the boys
of Brew er H all are ta k in g m ore interest in keeping
th e ir q u arte rs clean and th e b u ilding is looking m uch
better th an it has for a long tim e.
D r. W edge talked to the th ird year vocational class
last W ednesday and to th e fourth year vocational class
T h u rsd a y . N eith er teacher will tell, for both were
banished from th e class room s.
An average grad e of 75 percent m ust be m ade the
last of n ex t m o n th in o rd er to en title one to be p ro ­
m oted. N o th in g less w ill do th is year, the principal
says. A lot can be done in th e n e x t seven weeks.
A busy room is num ber 5. T he teacher has g athered
a g reat n u m b er of boys’ and g irls ’ m agazines, bound
them to g eth er in consecutive num bers, and d istrib u tes
them to the pupils to read w hen the ro u tin e w ork of
th e room is done or w hen a boy or g irl needs som ething
to keep them busy.
“ O ur teacher know s e v e ry th in g ,” said one of the
girls w hen she asked w hat star th a t w’as near th e moon
th e o th er evening, “ B o tan y ’ A g ricu ltu re and A stro n ­
o m y .” “ Y e s,” said an o th er in th e ag ricu ltu re B otany
class, “ we are h av in g m any th in g s now we had last
y e a r.” Som etim es it helps to w ander into unexplored
realm s.

T h e track boys seem to be in fine condition.
are seen every day train in g .
T hey
W e believe th a t the study hour in room s has been a
g reat im provem ent for the pupils. W e only wish each
stu d e n t could have a separate room in w hich to stu d y
and a separate set of books. T h is w ould avoid th e
necessity of preparing w ork in the school room s. W e
believe pupils should stu d y in th e ir room s w ith o u t
being told w hat to stu d y . T h e assignm ents for th e
follow ing day are sufficient.
S u p t. H all visited the library one day last w’eek.
H e s a id ," Y ou need some new’b o o k s.” W e said, “ Yes,
and some m agazines and papers, to o .” A school w ith ­
o u t books is like a carpenter w ithout tools. A good
book or m agazine lyin g around is a splendid in d u ce­
m en t to keep boys o u t of m ischief. T he reading habit
if co n tracted and a school lib rary will m any tim es
take th e place of a bad habit contracted in the alley
or aro u n d the corner.
T w en ty-one pupils received grades of 95 per cent
o r above in the industrial d ep artm en ts for the period
e n d in g A pril 2nd. T hey are as follows:
