School Notes.
Bernlce and Inez Nutzman hav
been visitors in the, high school the
last two days.
An examination will begin Friday,
January 14th in all the subjects com
pleted this somlster.
Why does apluas pencil break so
often? v j .
We are glad to see Anna Weber
back in school after several days ab
sence. We hope Myrtle can soon be In
school again.
Luella Opp fell Wednesday morn
ing, cutting her head quite badly.
We hope everyone will come more
regular so we can have a star day.
The first semester of school ends
this week. A few pupils have been
unable to make their grades on ac
count of irregular attendance. These
same pupils will expect to be pro
nioted at the end of the year with
equal honors as those'who have been
regular in their attendance. The
courses of study which the schools
are required to follow have a certain
number of recitation periods of so
many minutes each. Some pupils at
tend but little over half of these. We
are sure that if a business man, or
a farmer, should hire a person to
work for him for nine months, and
that person should work for but one-
half of the time, that he would receive
pay Uf only one-half of the time.
Why should not the same rule hold
good in school work? The mental
satisfaction of having accomplished
something, grades and promotions are
the pupils pay. If a pupil works for
but one half of the time, should he
receive pay for full fme any more
than the man who works but half
time? In order to have the child
grow into a man or woman faithful
to the duties of adult life, you must
necessarily require him to be faith-

ful to his present duties. The par
ent does not receive ' pay for work
that he does not do, why should the
child? If this principle is just and
right, why should parents desire their
children promoted on half pay. The
inevitable result is that these ir
regular pupils are unable to keep up
and become a hinderance to the pro
gress of the other members of their
class. We desire that the parents
urge their children to be as faithful
as possible in their school attendance.
Next Monday is the first day of the
second semester. Several changes in
the class work will take place.
We believe that no other school
rooms in the county have prettier de
corations than ours. If you doubt
it call and Bee.
The Avoca section" of the Cass
County Teachers' Association will
meet at the school house on Satur
day at 2 o'clock.
