Why doesn't Avoca get up a good
band? There are plenty of young
men with musical talent, and all
that is needed is some enterprising
citizen to take the initiative. There
are plenty of good instructors whose
services can be procured. It would
be a decided advantage to the town
to have a good band.
The people of Avoca are prosper
ous and happy because they attend
to their own business and work in
harmony. There is no feud among
the people here, such as ruins a
good many small towns. On the
other hand, each man seems to recog
nize the fact that his neighbor has
rights and respects them. If there
is any enterprise for the good of the
town you will find all the people
pulling together. There is plenty of
competition, but it is all in the spirit
of fairness and good feeling: If every
man will make it a point in the fu
ture not to permit his private grouch
to become a public quarrel, the fu
ture of the town is safe.

The quarterly examinations are
over. We notice some low grades.
Most of these were due to irregular
attendance. In a few instances pu
pils are in grades beyond where they
are able to do work satisfactorily.
Age and other conditions make this
seem best in order not to discourage
the individual pupil. Most of the
grades are very good and show splen
did work being done. A low grade
is not always an indication of ina
bility, more often it the result of
lack of, application of time and ir
regular attendance. Parents whose
children are irregular will do a great
favor to the school in general by
having their children in school every
day.

It tells the simple story cf a simple,

wonder that it is being described as
the successor to "The Old Home
