Educational Notes
By Prof. R. H. WATSON
Cutting off a tadpole's tail Avill not
make it a frog any sooner ; nor will cur
tailing the years of childhood make a
child a man or a woman any sooner.
Prof. Kiehle.
The no recess plan with a shorter
session is proving a benefit to the school
in many respects. If there are still
some who think the plan a hardship in
any way. such persons should come to
us and let us explain fully and I am
very sure all will soon see the merits of
the new arrangement.
The teacher's meeting held in the
high school building last S iturdav was
probably the most profitable one held

last Saturlay are Misses Burleigh , Mor
gareidge , Towne , Carlson , Watson ,
Efner , Hills , Shaughnesy , Hubbard ,
Stark , Brown , Mrs. Harden , Mrs
Crawford , and Mr. "Watson.

pelled to remain at home this week to
help her mother with the housework ,
Glen Ilonig is to make the enigma from
the words of one of America's greatest
