Since the bridges were washed mt between here and Jaoro, tbe km socket ball team could not get ewer to Mora, and Gn Valley to play their scheduled rmm. As the games have had to be postponed indefinitely it is doubtful if they can be flayed off at all this season. - The team expects however to meet Hep- ner, soon, at Heppner. As each team has won one game, and this one decides the champion ship of theeounty, it will with out doubt be well worth seeing. Professor Poak has been putt ing cards and pockets in the old and new library books. The school will have a flnt - class library when finished, Old library books were collected from the school children last week and are being repaired and arranged to be put in the new library with the new books.

SCHOOL NOTES by: 8r& NOTSON, Supt.- State Superintendent Churchill has designated March 7th aa Buy bank Day for tbe schools of tbe state. Within a few days each teacher will receive a circular containing suggestions as tothe, way in which the day may be observedL Let us make the day one worth "while. Luther Bur- bank has none a great work for the world, and it is fitting that we should show our appreciation before he leaves bis present field of labor. It would be perfectly ia keep ing with the proper observance of Burbank Day for those schools which hare not done so, to or ganise their industrial crabs. I presume each teacher has recerre d tbe mf orsnatioa from the Agri cultural College la regard to the plans for this yean- If not write to Pro! H. a Seymour, st Csr vallis, for tbe circulars of infor mation. This year, these who are ef dub age will not be per mitted to enter any exhibits at county fair except dub exhibits. uiihui aV SIMS. ik WWVQ WnjCBBUW w . uiiuuk wm iu This does not mean that you must belong to a club, but you must enroll for club work and do project work.. There will be some miscellaneous prises -for pupils under the club age, bat none for those of dob age. We have advanced to that place sow where the pupils, patrons, and teachers understand the educati onal value of the industrial work, and it is not necessary to attempt to pay each pupil for his work in order to get them to do industrial work. The pupils are beginning to see that the biggest prise is tn what they learn by doing Che work. However, we expect to make the prizes worth while, but ribbons will be more highly ap preciated, no doubt, than the money. I trust that many clubs will be organised on Burbank Day, and that those already or ganised will make the day one of profit "" ;,; Senator Lane has sent a quan tity of garden and flower seeds to the office. -; Pupils who contem plate doing something in the line of gardening may have the seeds if they will call or write for them. As the warm- days tempt the pupils to play vigorously, they are apt to come into the school' room quite warm. Often they will throw open the windows and sit in a current air for some time to "cool off." Teachers should to it that no pupil sits thus in a draft It may mean discom fort for a short time, , but it is (better to be somewhat uncomfort able for a few minutes than to can not ventilated properly without a pupil sitting in a draft, it is advisable to have the pupils move about or take some light calisthentie exercises while the windows are opened wide. Many teachers neglect to see that there some provision made for in troducing moisture into the at mosphere of the school room. As I have suggested before, a tall baking powder can filled with water and kept en the stove will answer the purpose very well.
