SCHOOL NOTES.
Hy Clnroiico Linton.
Elvin and Merit McKernan enter
ed the primary grades Monday.
The" second grade is learning to
tell time, their hand work correlat
ing in the making of clocks.
The primary department is the
largest in years. The total enroll
ment this year is -15, two wore pro
moted to the second primary, leaving
4H for the present enrollment.
Mildred Linton entered the first
grade Tuesday, January 2.
Walter Graham was absent from
school last week on account of sick
ness. The fourth grade is taking up the
study of "Eskimos."
Ernest Cole is sick this week.
His school-mates wish him a speedy
recovery.
The sixth grade is "enjoying (?) de
nominate numbers.
Through the kindness of our jani
tor, Mr. Krumwiede, we wore able
to keep our plants from freezing du
ring the holidays.
Lester French has returned to
school after an absence of one week.
The ninth and tenth grade English
class has just completed the study
of Silas Marner.
The first semester closes with this
week. The regular six week report
will be sent out, which for the high
school students will indicate the
standing for this semester's work.
There is not enough homo work
boing done by the higM school stud
ents as a whole. At least one lesson
should be prepared by the average
student at home each day. Many
must do more work than this in or
der to secure passing grades. Sever
al are delinquent for this semester
and it is only by most strenuous ef
fort that the work can be made up.
If the report of your child is not
.satisfactory you parents will do the
the teachers' a favor by conferring
with us about the matter. Any
grade below 75 is not passing and an
average of 80 is required for promo
tion. Miss Fleming is planning a special
entertainment to bo given by her
room some evening in February.
M. E. dnurch Notes.
F. J. Aucock, Pastor.
Services wiil be held at the usual
hours next Sunday. The pastor
will preach at 11 a. in. and 8 p. m.
Don't let us miss any of these Sun
day services. To miss one is to be
gin a habit. It also means u distinct
loss to your life. If you cultivate
any habit at all let it be the habit of
church attendance.
The Sunday school is doing well.
We have now been able to form
unother class and secured Miss Clara
Cook as teacher. The primary is
now well equipped with chairs, and
under Mrs. Sherman's care is doing
good work. It should be recorded
that on Christmas Sunday the chil
dren gave an oll'ering of $lfi for the
"Christmas Ship" to Armenia. The
Christmas treat was arranged under
the motto "Enough for each, enough
for all, enough for every one."
Everybody in the room was remem
bered. Consequently everybody
was happy.
The Epvvorth Eeague needs a little
encouragement. This is a feature
of our church life which is distinctly
needed. There is not an over abun
dance of young people in Dakota
City. Why should not somo of us
who have the superannuated feeling
get out and give the young people a
little help. The annual election of
officers will be hold this week. Let
us get together and give the new
olficiala a boost.
True Blues will meet on Friday of
this week for important business.
