Observe, then, all wise work is mainly threefold in
character. It is honest, useful, and cheerful.

You drive a gambler out of the gambling room who

The first character of right childhood is that it is
modest. A wrell-bred child does not think it can teach
its parents, or that it knows everything.

Half the evil in this world comes from people not
knowing what they do like, not deliberately setting
themselves to find out what they really enjoy.

I think that every rightly constituted mind ought
to rejoice, not so much in knowing anything clearly,
as in feeling that there is infinitely more that it cannot
know.
A rich man ought to be continually examining how
he may spend his money for the advantage of others;
at present others are continually plotting how they may
beguile him into spending it apparently for his own.

It is useless to put your heads together, if you can’t
put your hearts together. Shoulder to shoulder, right
hand to right hand, among yourselves, and no wrong
hand to anybody else, and you’ll win the world yet.

Perfect taste is the faculty of receiving the greatest
possible pleasure from those material sources which
are attractive to our moral nature in its purity and
perfection; but why we receive pleasure from some
foims and colors and not from others is no more to be
asked or answered than why we like sugar and dislike
wormwood.

He who habituates himself in his daily life to seek
for the stern facts in whatever he hears or sees will
have these facts again brought before him by the in
voluntary imaginative power, in their noblest associ
ations; and he who seeks for frivolities and fallacies
will have frivolities and fallacies again presented to
him in his dreams.

Many of those taking part in the program were mak
ing their first appearance in public and they showed ex
cellent preparation and stage presence. The stage was
attractively decorated with autumn leaves, and jack-
o’-lanterns cleverly placed by lattice fences. The jack-
o’-lanterns were cut by the sixth grade boys and the
decorations were arranged by those participating in the
program. Striking Hallowe’en posters from the art
classes under the direction of Mrs. Walker also added
to the mysterious atmosphere.

Mr. Sanders, our painter and glazier, would cer
tainly appreciate some co-operation on the part of the
boys to the end that a smaller number of broken win
dows panes will be called to his attention.
The Reliance Literary Society affected organization
for the year at a meeting called last week. Mr. C. D.
Rainey is advisor for the society this year. The elec
tion of officers resulted as follows: President, James
Kelly; vice-president, Dowd Franklin; secretary, Clif
ford Case; treasurer, Frank Johnson; sergeant-at-arms,
Louis Paraseau, and yell leader, Harold Masten.
The McBride Hall Girl Reserves turned their regu
lar meeting into a Hallowe’en party. They had deco
rated the Y. W. C. A. room with black cats, pump
kins, witches and the other appropriate symbols. A
spectral-voiced ghost greeted them as they appeared
at the door. Fortunes were told by all the approved
Hallowe’en methods. Altogether a delightful evening
was enjoyed by the girls.
Mr. Lobdell, our school libarian, has “started
something’’ that is destined to make a noise in Che-
mawa circles—something that will be heard from. It
is a harmonica band and quite a number of boys are
already making a noise “going and coming.” We
do not know if girls, too, are eligible foi membership,
but hope that they may be. The American will be
found in the booster column.
Supt. and Mrs. Lipps had the pleasure of entertain
ing Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Camp and daughter one even
ing last week as they were enroute from Toppenish,
Wash., to San Francisco, Calif. Mr. Camp has been
the government auditor for this district for many years
and be is a most able and likeable gentleman. Just
recently he has been temporarily in charge at Toppen
ish agency and he now is superintendent at the
government warehouse at San Francisco. This means
promotion for Mr. Camp and he has a host of friends
at Chemawa and elsewhere who will rejoice in the re
cognition that he has received.
