The school year closes May ?5. Ex aminations and commencement exercises will occur that week. - Mr. Kilpatrick has favored the school with visits recently, all of which have been duly appreciated. The next literary session has been post poned one week on account of the Wash ington's Birthday exercises. The teacher of the White School are planning very interesting . exercisee in honor of Washington's birthday. Miss McKinley' brother of Portland was a caller at the High School building one day last week. Mr. Williams ..took the High School basket ball team to Baker City last Fri day. Hi nnaition was filled in hie ab sence by the superintendent " , " " ! Janitor Peach expects to repair the flag pole on the High School building in time to float the flag 1 1 honor of Washington's birthday. All exercises for Washington's birth day are to occur on Friday afternoon. Feb. 23. Parents and others invited to be present . Misses Rohan, Kuhn, Brenholts, Harris. A Id rich and Wenham are to unite for their exercises in the assembly hall up stairs in the- High School building, to which parents and others will be welcom ed. The members of the senior class have taken up the "Merchant of Venice, Up to Date and are planning to present it in up to date" style some time In May. Watch for the data. To correct an impression which might be formed regarding the Honor Roll which is to appear monthly, to the effect that the names published give undue pref erence to the brighter or stronger pupils, the following explanation is in order. It seldom happens that the brighter ones are on this roll throughout the school, any given month, as it js often found that they are either absent or tardy one or days in the month or unsatisfactory in deportment, any one point of which, rend ers them ineligible to this roll, so- that it often happens, that the plodders of schol arship or evj.i bjlow th average are on this roll. This will be evident to those who watch thd rolls from month to month. Then too, the brighter pupils are fre quently "short" in one or two studies which brings the average scholarship down, and since three of the qualifica tions do not involve scholarship, the aver age child has about equal chances with t ie stronger ones.

The State University Glee Club boys are to favor the High School with a brief concert by way of advertisement at the opening exercises Wednesday. This club is sent out by the state university as an advertisement and is intended to reflect credit on the college, which every report of it indicates that it does in full measure. One of the many functions of a mana' ger of schools is to hear from teachers their difficulties and perplexities, as well as their plans, methods and' ideas. If he is able to make the pathway of the teach er easier, or is able to lift a burden from her so that her toil will be easier and pleasantar, then he does well. Each week word comes to us from hardworking teacher that this or that parent or some one else has sent some rude, unkind note to the teacher, written no doubt during a period of anger, and intended to wound the teacher. Sometimes this is in the form of telephone message, but seldom, 'f ever, do these persons make personal calls to say to the teacher what they will write or say over the telephone. Let us have due consideration for the feelings of these faithful teachers who have enough to worry about without notes of innuendo or sarcasm, from irate parent or guard ian. The heart of our teachers are not made of stone. Let us file our complaints to these teachers in kindly tone realiz ing that the teacher has her trials and heart-acnes just as omsrs nave, and is entitled to kindly consideration. These teachers are interested in the welfare of the children entrusted to them .and are anxious to help each child. They will gladly correct any error they are making f it is called to their attention. A bitter, unkind, or cross communication does not help the teacher in her work and only, serves to make it harder for her. Often, after a hard day in which a harshly made criticism has been made, the teacher gos home wondering if the strenuous life really pays. Suppose, we send the teach er a note complimenting her work at times, then when we have have occasion to ask her to correct some error, she will know the parent is her friend. The teach er wants criticism and is helped by it, but let them at times be favorable criti- i cisms to the end that she may be err- j couraged in her work. Call her up and tell her that your child is doing well, or send her a note along the same line. The teacher a a result will do vastly better work and her life will be happier. Years of experience in managing teachers have shown that teachers do far better work, more of it and manifest a deeper interest when an appreciation of their efforts is frequently shown by the superintendent, parents and school board. Thus we are making a point in school economy. Edu cational statistics and records show that the young woman who conscientiously de votes a dozen years to the work of teach ing, is thereafter, on account of her im paired nervous system, practically un fitted t3 assume Ul UUUBH UI liuiltl. me, or of an other vocation in life. Let us add s imething to the sum of human hap piness by casting a flower in her pathway. ASSINu OF MEDFQKD KU.. "Spirit" of Old Massachusetts Town Has Bub Almost Ea- , tlrely Out. 1 Medford, It is needless to Bay, 1 a place near Boston. Paul Revere rode 'through Medford town" on his way to irouse the countryside. Yet for over i cvntury, says the Springfield Repub lican, the thing that baa brought the zreatest fame to the place has been the Medford rum. It Is quite within jur province as chronicler to cail at tention to two recent events of Im portance In the history of the town. The 276th anniversary of the first set tlement on the M ystlc, where Medford stands, was celobrated most fittingly n Thursday. Dr. William Everett, of juincy, whose facility in the writing it occasional Verse Is not unknown to a whole nation, recited a historical poem whose concluding stana auda ciously remind one of the town' most celebrated Industry: "What means "Old Medford" to her exiled sons? What dear, domestic dream In want and wandering through their vis Ion runs! Close to their hearts a warming taste of home They praise perchance; they share and feel. Though from their mother far they roam. Her spirit still Is there." - But as a matter of fact, her "spirit" ha departed. Medford rum Is no more, save In a vry small and con stantly diminishing quantity, for the firm that has made It has decided to close up thejmslness and withdraw this redoubtable article of commerce forever from the markets of the world. When the supply "now In the bonded warehouses Is sold, Medford's chapter in rum will be ended, and the old '.aunt that so distressed our orthodox -randmothers about New England Bl 'ties and Medford rum going on the -ame ships to the ehathen will lose both Its pertinence and it sting. WRITER'S LITTLE MISTAKE. American Newspaper ' Correspondent r, at Port Arthur dot Left on Eggs. In Frederick VUller' recent book telling of hi experiences with the Jap-1 anese force at fort Arthur he nar-i rates an Interesting little Incident that I ccurred the day the correspondents rat reached the front. They were, .uartered in rooms at Dalny which had ueen pillaged and desecrated by the Chinese robber after the evacuation' by the Japanese. He says: "We were soon busy trying to make the placet habitable. Rations of food were sent i .is from headquarter and our party of en was soon split up Into messeo. iarry (correspondent of . the Chicago Jally News). Ricarlton, the expert holographic artist, and myself re ceived bread potatoes and two chick ens. Ricarlton took a great fsncy to one of the birds, and. being tender at heart, would not have It klUed. I . "In fact, he was quite a Buddhist In' many ways, and would destroy . only , Hies. These Insects I have secn him j send, with his unmalled fist, a cozen at, a time, without warning, to the shailcs of the blue liottie. B it he spared hlckena, and this special ulrd learned l o perch on bis shoulder and to peckt uread Irom hla hand. It was an awk-i ard situation. I took no delight in the I owl's winning ways and simply want-' d Its flesh, and Barry was of the same nlnd. Ricarlton at last proposed a1 compromise. j "He said that he would take no' share ' of the bird that w bad already doomed, and he would let us have the j first doxen eggs that hi chicken ( which he had christened Kurokl, In honor of the famous Japanese general should happen to lay. We agreed V ' this arrangement, but It was most un-1 satisfactory, for. although of course I feel certain that Ricarlton was no ! party to the deception, the wretched ' bird turned out to be a rooster."
