SCHOOL. NOTES.
A number of test examinations are
being given by tho teaehers prepara

of next week.
The supply committee is securing an
estimate upon a small quantity of ap
paratus for work in botany, zoology.
etc.. which is verv much needed in
the high school.
Tbe magnificent weather for the last
week has enabled material progress to
be made upon the new high school
building, and the trusses which will
support the roof are now in place and
the rafters over the main portion of
the building are also in position.

book keeping, English history, sopho
more geometry, botany and trigono
metry classes begin. All of the other
subjects continue during theremainder
of the year as they were during the
first term.
The spring vacation will probably be
held during the first week of April,
subject to action by the board at their
ext regular meeting. The schools
would then close Friday, June 1, when
the promotions would be made, and
the commencement exercises will be
held Thursday evening, May 31. Ar

teachers on Tuesday, the fourth and
fifth grades on Wednesday, the sixth.
seventh and eighth grades on Thurs
day and the first and second grades
Friday afternoon. These meetings
were devoted to the speciil work of
those grades. The teachers, almost
without an exception. report the pupils
as being well up to the worlc as laid
out in the manual, and that the classes
were further advanced at present and
better prepared to enter their grade at
the beginning of the term than last
year. They also report that fewer
pupils will fail than for several yeare,
and these are mainly those who have
been detained out on account of some
contagious disease or similar good
reason.
His Annual Trip.
Claus Brekenfeld, manager of the
Louisville mills, left Tuesday morning
to enjoy a few days' recreation and
will visit a number of leading flouring
mills throughout the state. It is a
custom among millers of Nebraska to
pay their neighbors a visit each year
that they may profit by an exchange
of ideas. While they have their an
nual association meetings with their
lectures aud papers, etc.. on the proper
methods of conducting their business,
it i9 fcund that often -more real prac
tical information may be procured by
visiting the various mills and noting
the numerous methods employed. Mr,
Brekenfeld is an old-time miller, but
he has never let the foolish idea enter
his head that he knows it all or is too
old to learn. The Courier trusts that
his trip has been filled with profit and
pleasure to him. Louisville Courier.
