SCHOOL NOTES.
WHY NOT?
Editor Gazette-Times:
It is an old saying that, "All work
and no play makes Jack a dull boy,"
All Intelligent teachers of children
recognize that a certain ariiount of
play Is essential to harmonious phy
sical and mental development. It is
also conceded that we never got too
old for a certain amount of play be
ing necessary to lighten the load of
responsibility and make life more
worth while.
Since this is true that all need a
time for relaxation, why should not a
definite period be set aside each week
for base ball, tennis and other health
ful sports.
In many cities the custom prevails
of having a Saturday half-holiday.
Why not the citizens of Heppner and
vicinity adopt this policy and during
the season for out door sports, let all
places of business close, say at 2 p.
m., and everybody, big, little, old and
young, turn out for an afternoon of
pleasant and profitable recreation.
T. S. HANDSAKER.
By Supt. S. E. Notson.
Last week Mr. N. C. Maris, State
Field Worker, and the writer visited
twenty-one schools and organized in
dustrial clubs in the most of them.
We found one club fully organized
and several more just ready to com
plete the organization. There seems
to be a lively interest in this line of
work. Pupils find that it is not in
tended In any way to Interfere with
their regular school work, but Is so
planned as to give them opportunity
to educate the hand. Very few
schools are prepared to give manual
training and work in domestic
science and gardening, but the indus
trial club affords an opportunity to
do some very valuable work along
these lines. It has been found in the
counties where it has been tried the
longest that In many Instances
it strengthens the regular school
work. It also affords a means of
cultivating industry during the long
vacation.
Pupils who have not enrolled in
any club may take up the work In
dividually. They will have the same
opportunity of exhibiting at the coun
ty fair. At the State fair they would
not have the credit due to club work.
The club workers must read carefully
the bulletins and the directions in
regard to keeping their project rec
ords. The record will not count as
many points as it did last year, but
it is a vital part of the work.
We expect to have a much larger
exhibit at the county fair this fall
than we had last fall. There will be
some prizes for individual work, but
the prizes for the cltib work will be
more attractive than they were last
year.
Next week mention of some of the
school improvements noted on this
trip will receive attention.
Hiother Killed in Battle.
W. T. Campbell, well known Social
Ridge farmer, has received the sad

war broke out, and enlisted with the
Canadian troops. Mr. Campbell re
ceived word from his brother at the
time he enlisted, and then heard
nothing more of him until he receiv
ed the news of his death, as anounc
ed In an Ontario newspaper.
It Is Not a Joke.
To my many patrons It may have
occurred that my request for CASH
Is a joke. It Is not. I am compelled
to pay cash for my stuff; am getting
government Inspected beef from Port
land and It Is cash for every ship
ment. I certainly appreciate the
splendid trade you have given mo and
am trying my best to accommodate
you. Our interests are mutual, but
please do not ask for credit at the
People's Cash Market.
