AjA - - Hgfi Scfioo Afofes Br JOHN ANDERSON $ The chemistry class finished Its spring house cleaning last Thursday. They began washing test tubes, beak erg and other paraphernalia on Tues day, but did not finish the job to Professor Ruch's liking until! Thurs day. He said that there were "tear drops" on them yet which would have to be washed off. Of course there was much equipment charged up to them which they, or no one else for that matter, will have to wash. There was a pile of broken glass In the waste-paper box that would have done Justice to a glass factory. At the beginning of the year there were about sixty beakers In the building, while now there are only about thir- ty. However, the class has done fine I work and this breakage should not be begrudged. Some of the members of the class are doing extra work in quantitative analysis. J. A. Churchill, state superintend ent of public Instruction, spoke be fore the teachers' training class dur ing the first period Wednesday after noon. His topic was rather general, Scaling with the preparation of teach ers, lows His main points were as fol- The aim of the educational . department of the state is that all teachers in Oregon shall be fully pre pared before they begin to teach the rural as much so as the city teach ers. The practice teaching is the most Important part of this course, On It chiefly is based the giving of t the certificates. The would-be teach- erg should get the correct assign-' mente and use them. The state wants teachors who are exact in their work. To Illustrate this point he conducted a language lesson for two weeks (fig uratively speaking), telling just how lie would use the time, giving the ex act assignments, etc. He talked about the rural teacher and tol J some of his aims as head of the educational department. Tho class found his lec ture very entertaining and educa tional. The typewriting test given Friday beforo last was rather difficult. Only one student who had not previously passed a test made the requisite forty net words. Th!g was Morris P'ymate. Several others made that number of words but had already passed a test. The main thing which is being worked for is accuracy. The annuals will probably be on Red " j ike Gasoline of Qualify ofOU 1 puf ,he "hop" IMIH lH the Celebrated- OF PAINTS - J I I I sale next Friday. The price connect ed with acquiring one 1b 50 cents They will be well worth the price and a quick sale Is expected. The seniors have been working on the high school scenery almost every day for the last week. They are glv ing some of the scenes a fresh coat of paint to get them ready for "Miss Hobbs," which is to appear next Thursday. They thought that the play was too good to use the scenery as it was and I guess they were about right. The play is a four-act "scream." Ona of the members of the cast said that It contained several Interesting love scenes which would give a rare chance of an education to the younger students. They say also that they will guarantee anyone laugh. N. B. "Chick" Farlow is very wrathy because through some oversight his name was not given last Thursday with the cast. He is to play the interesting role of "Charles." Now what his 1'ast name Is I do not know. I have an idea that he, himself, does not know. The physical training classes of both the grades and the high school are to stage a May pageant in the park, May 13. Among other things will be the winding of the May pole. The. high school orchestra is to play for "Miss Hobbs." This week has been a week of speeches. Beside Superintendent Churchill's address, Professor Sweet- ser of the U. of 0. spoke to the as- sembly on Wednesday and Rev maims on Tnursaay. rroi. sweetser spoke In the gym and used the lan tern. Ho at first showed some slides of reproduction of plant life differ ent devices to insure pollination or In some cases to prevent self-polllna- tlon. He spoke quite fully on this subject. At the end of his 'lecture he showed about fifty slides of Oregon flowers and told where they are found and other facts about them. It was a very interesting lecture, As an introduction to Rev. Mathis' lecture Mr. Vessey sang several selec tions. Everyone liked both him and his songs and wanted him to sing some more. Rev. Mathis spoke most ly on the battles of life. He told of David's trials and used that as a sort oT text. The lecture was good. Everyone 'ked It. He announced that there would be a high school We Are Forging Ahead in our business because we under stand It thoroughly. Careful horse owners have learned It pays to have their horses shod by experts. It costs no more than for poor work, but the result is far more satisfactory.

The object was to start spring football practice. The practice was to start today. This ought to he' a groat deal. The seniors havo had several meet ings this week to arrange the little details Incident to their leaving their Alma Mater. Miss Boa Simmons of Medford was a visitor of Miss Agnes Hedburg Fri day. There were two track meets at Tal ent last week one Tuesday and one Friday. Several contestants went down from Ashland each day. Tues day s meet was a practice one, but Friday's was in earnest. Not much could be done Friday, however, as the ground was slippery. It rained most of the time and no speed could be made in the mud. A notice of a shortage of paper was posted on the bulletin board last week. Everyone is to save his waste paper and old rags for the rag picker. The East Side pupils staged an operetta in the gym last Friday even- Ing. It's name was "Florlnda." Through a mistake the statemont was made last week that the com mencement exercises would be held In the Vlnlng Theatre. They are to be in the armory. The first plan was to have It in the Vlnlng, but it was changed because the Vlnlng will not hold enough people. A calendar of the main events for the rest of the year is a3 follows (all the events are In May, merely the date being given: Senior play, high school gym, 4; senior examinations, high school, 5; junior-sonlor banquet, high school gym, 12; May pageant, Llthia Park, 13; baccalaureate ser mon, Methodist church, 14; general examinations, high school, afternoon of 12, all day 15 and the forenoon of 16; end of school, 17; commencement exercises, armory, 18.

A few of our athletes drew on the treasury last Monday afternoon to go down to Talent for a tryout on the track there. A certain onto driv er from Ashland to Medford took practically all their money for round- trip tickets to Talent, and on the return trip, the boys say, he ran off from them when they were within fifty feet of the car. From all ac counts, he had one person on the car that made a load. The boys walk"ed most of the way to Ashland, but met with a good friend of Belleview school In Ashland that sent them the balance of the way In a car. Obituary.
