Tho attendance of tho pupils during tho lirst two months of tho present school year has beon remarkable and is producing gratifying results. The average attendance tho first month this year exceeded that of the first month of last year by I'd, and tho sec ond month of this year the second month of last year by Hi.". The Platts mouth .schools have for several vears bad a most excellent standing in re gard to the matter of tardiness, and the lirst month of this year there were but nine cases of tardiness in tho en tire cilv, ono of the best months in years. To show how this city com paros with others in this matter of punctuality, a comparison was made during ono month last year, showing for that month in Plattsmouth fifteen cases of tardinoss, Weeping Water 14. and Lincoln 'M'i. That the pupils have boon so punctual and regular in at tendance this year shows a commend able interest on the part of tho parents and materially assists in tho progress of tho schools. A gonoral examination of all the pupils in the city below tho high school will bo hold the last week of this month, covering the entire work for tho first third of tho school year, A similar ono will bo held at the close of tho sixth and ninth months. Owinr to the giving1 up of ono of the grade rooms on tho third floor of the central building to the high school the other rooms are becoming some- whrt over-crowded, three of the rooms having pupils sitting upon the seats in front of tho front row of desks. The excellent manner in which the schools havo opened up this year is duo in part to the fact that this is the first year for several years that the schools have started out without a single inexperienced teacher in the force. Arrangements Completed, Friday and Saturday, November 17 and 18, have been decided upon as the dates for the production of "Aber deen." The work of preparing the preparing tho production has been steadily progressing for the past week, and tho ca3t, which embraces some of the loading young people of Plattsmouth, ara assldously engaged in perfecting themselves in their res pective roles. 1 ho scene of the play is laid in Aberdeen, a little village located in the southern portion of the Bucke3'o state, overlooking tho historic old Ohio river. The characters aro mostly rustic types and the story simple and natural as the lives of the people it portrays. In its simplicity lies its strength, in its quietness its intensity the opening scenes arouse the audi tor from his apathy to polite attention, the succeeding scenes to interested ness, tho losing ones to profound in terest and the finale leaves him in warmest admiration of the work he has witnessed.

An answer, given in one of the Cam bridge local examinations, was partic ularly bright, says the London Stand ard. The question was in mechanics, and was: "Why will a pin not balance on its point?" The reply was, 'First ly, because a point being that which has no -agnitu cannot stand upon which does not e st. Secondly, it will. If you stick it in." "The people of Herculaneum and Pompeii died from an eruption," was the answer to a question concerning the deaths, from the great eruption of Vesuvius in A. D. 9, and an eminently practical answer to a question as to where Magna Char ta was signed was "At the bottom." The idea that job horses were so called because they had to endure sucH a hard lot, is distinctly original and showed a good power of deduction In the child who was responsible for It; while to the question of what a high church was, the answer was one with a stee ple. Children who are at that age when they object to the term child fre quently make mistakes as ludicrous as their younger brethren. The two fol lowing examples come from the exam ination papers of the Britannia, the boys on board of which are from 13 to 16 3-ears of age. The question was: "Why Is there a circumflex accent on the e in etre?" One answered occupied two p&p-s of foolscap. It told how in the miadle ages there was a great con troversy as to whether the accent should be grave or acute, and at last 'being unable to come to any other agreement, the contending parties de- tided to each give way to the other and put both accents, with the result i-at the accent on etre was a combination of the acute and grave.
