Supt. Whitehead made tho follow
ing report: "For the first time since
the cry beginning of school we are
free from serious interruption. There
are no cases of "flu" or other epi
demic among the .student body .so fur
as I know. Consequently there no
longer exists any reason for tho non
attendance of any child of school age.
There are some, however, who are
not in school. 1, therefore, recom
mend again that the Hoard appoint a
truant or attendance officer who will
sec that the law is complied with.
"In view of tho movement in the
diiection of vocational education at
the prefcent time and tho assistance
offered through the recently enacted
Smith-Hughes law, the courses of
study in the High School should be
immediately planned along vocational
line.i. 1, therefore, lecommcnd that
the Ileal d take immediate steps to
make the Red Cloud High School a
Smith-Hughes High School.
"I am pleased to report the follow
ing cash collections:
Fines for first semester. . . SG.30
Telephone service .... .75
Texts sold . , 1.1)0
Total $7.95
"The tuition statement for noif-ic-i
dents in the High School for tho first
semester is considerably i educed on
account of the large number of those
who were obliged to absent them
selves from sch6ol on account of hav
ing the "flu," cither themselves or in
the home. This statement shows the
tuition due tho district to be $1233.59.
The amount should be gi eater during
the current semester."
.Mrs. .1. A. ISradford came before

An Investment
In Happiness
nr O purchase a NEW EDISON is not an ex
penditure: it's an investment. It means
evenings filled with enjoyment oC the world's
host music RE-CREATED so perfectly as to be
indistinguishable from the interpretation of the
living ariists. And it menns evenings at home
where you don't spend a cent. To own The
New Edison means not only more happiness but
more money in the bank.
