School
Miss Schaper , the principal of
the high school , was sick with a
bad cold and sore ttiroat Tuesday
and was unable to teach her classes.
The ninth grade dropped Civil
Government and Physiology this
week and took up in their stead
Book-keeping and English Compo
sition.
The county superintendent com
menced visiting the Valentine
school with primary room about 2
weeks ago and is gradually work
ing her way up through the grades.
She has not yet reached- the * high
school.
Ralph Brosius entered the ninth
grade last week. He has been do
ing ninth grade work under Miss
Ada Stindard in the district north
of Valentine and will probably be
able to go right on with the ninth
grade work here.
The wet , sloppy weather of last
week has left its effect on the
school. Many little ones have
such bad colds that they are not
able to be in school this week and
some who are in school cough so
hard that they would probably
better be at home where their
mothers' could doctor them.
Ada Lewis and Lillian Holsclaw
entered school this week to take
up Book-keeping and English
Composition with the ninth grade
which is just beginning work in
those two studies. The girls have
no intention of finishing the work
of the Valentine school but wish
only to fit themselves as well as
may be to enter a business college
next-summer. Werprophesy-that
they will wish before they are
through with their business course
that they had stayed in the Valen
tine school a year or two longer.
All teachers who are planning
to take part in the reading circle
work in Valentine on the second
Saturday of February should read
carefully chapters 5 , 6 , 7 and 8 ,
and note carefully the matter of
each chapter and the order in
which the chapters have been ar
ranged. Every teacher should
read Tennyson's "May Queen , "
"Mew Year's Eve , " and "The
Conclusion , " so as to be able to
discuss them freely. Bring to
class any poem or prose selection
which will in any way help to
illustrate Tone Quality as given
in chapter five of the book on
reading.
A bill has been introduced into
the Nebraska legislature to compel
parents to send their children ito
school until sixteen years of
age instead of fourteen as the
law now is. The period of at
tendance must be for the full time

the school is in session instead ol
two-thirds of the time as the pres
ent law demands. Perhaps a com
pulsory education law is a XECES-
SAiivevil. Ifs # , let us have it
' good and strong and for the full
time school is in session in the
district.

anything what not he accomplished
along temperance lines in Valen
tine ? Let us rally to the front and
make our influence felt.
Mrs. Moon , superintendent of
medal contests is endeavoring tote
to makeup a silver medal contest
class of young people. She would
be glad for volunteers to join the
class. A full set of contest books
on hand. No line of work brings
more satisfactory results to the W.
C. T. U. 'than medal contests , and
we hope our county superintendent ;
of contests , Mrs. Lottie Cramer
will make a strenuous effort to hold
a contest somewhere in the coanty
outside of Valentine before conven
tion time. Supt. Press Work.

A basket social and dance was
given at the home of J. M. Ralya
on the Snake river last Friday
evening. About § 20 was taken
in , which was for the benefit of
Wm. Kennedy and family , whose
home was recently destroyed by
fire. A very pleasant evening
was enjoyed by all , and as we
started away everyone thought
Mrs. Ealya's home an excellent
place -to go' for a genuine good
time. A GUEST.
