The school garden proposition is not so rushing but baseball grounds are, as baseball is im portant and a necessity. The students can have gardens at home, if they so desire, and it is thought that when a choice be tween the two comes, baseball will be unanimously adopted. The students were recently reading the famous book of Helen Kellar but for some reason it has been discontinued. Representatives of book com panies were here last week. The matter of having a pro gram Friday night was taken up before the student body meeting Monday afternoon but the deci sion was put into the hands of the committee which acted Tues day afternoon and stated it was on too short a notice to have a program, as suggested by Prof. Livingstone. It was postponed indefinitely, and it was regretted that there would not be an oc casion on which the parents of the district would meet and talk over the school prospects for a garden with the principal.
