SCHOOL NOTES
"Never be afraid of bping laughed
at."
There are Rome twelve or more pu
pils in tho primary class but tbo cold
weather has cut the number down to
an averago or about five. They are
doing good work though, those that
attend.
The attendance in the first grade Is
not a great deal better than that of tho
primary but they are doing some ext
cellent work in readiug and numbers.
The second grade numbers are now
doing some special drill work'in addis
tion. They also do analysis work with
Bimple problems and make number
stories.
It is an inspiration to a teacher to
see a pupil thoroughly interested in its
work. The third grado pupils are inn
teresting for that reason. In their
language work at present they each
keep a weather record and are making
a study of frost and snow. Here In
this grado we And nature study and
language worK combine. Tula is a
happy combination showing foresight
and system ou the part of the teacher.
The primary department teacher and
pupils are workers. They doit quietly
and orderly each doing bis share and
using the words of our county auperins
tendent "Their work is first class
In that department they do not try to
make a great showing as to the number
of subjects but what are listed are
taught thoroughly.
The fourth grade base their reputa
tion upon their spelling ability. They
can also do some very neat work in
uiagramming. in so uotng tney are
cultivating two essentials, neatness and
correct spelling. It is said anyone can
spell but to spell correctly is quite aus
other thing.
The Qfth grade have just finished
nam win's Jb lrth Reader ana urn now
taking up history stories both for tho
reading and the history drill.
The sixth grade have shown quite
an interest in picture study, having
just completed quitoan extended study
of Milet. Another commendable feat
ure of their work is that of interrelat
ing their composition and geography
work in the form or illustrated geo
graphical descriptions of some wf the
staple products,
If you should enter the intermediate
room you would find each pupil busily
engaged at some task pertaining to
school work. There is very little if
any whispering for they have some
thing else to do. They are proud of
their department and have u right
to be.
The seventh and eighth grades ore
doing some very good work in spelling
They usually spell twice a week orally
and threa times a week by writing it
They spell the word by syllables.
The ninth grade as a cluss may be

and to work continuosly till the task Is
accomplished. There are seven in this
grade, six boys and one girl. The girls
of the ninth grade show tho beBt fits

The tenth grade are just completing

to give you something about each
grade. Much moro could be told and
very much more could be seen during
even a short visit,
On Monday and Tuesday, of last
week North Glenrook precinct was the
scene of one of the moBt exciting wolf
tiunts that has taken place in thlB
county this year.
'Friday Frank Hey wood was in tho

The crowd of hunters scattered in an
effort to pick up the trail and Frank

cornfield near the Highland church.
The wolf, having tired of her strenuous

Mr. Heywood shot her. He took the
