School Notes.
Everyone is glad to see Ethel
Galloway and Olive Van Metre
back at their desks.
After a week's absence Gladys
Jackson's smiling countenance is
welcomed back by the high school-
Miss Joyce has permitted her
pupils to take the state examina
tion and those who pass in this
with a high grade will be excused
from final examinations.
The excellent work done , the
industry of the pupils and the up-
to-date methods in class instruc
tion were among the favorable
comments made by the class in
normal training on returning from
a profitable hour in observing
practical pedagogy in Miss Van-
Orsdoll's room Wednesday.
Of the many and new w&ys tc
arouse interest in her pupils Miss
Nelson this week made a neat little
experiment to show the power ol
steam by a miniature explosion-
Always resourceful , energetic and
faithful to Valentine
i a large degree -
[ tine can well be proud to count sc
'able ' and strong a teacher as Miss
Nelson among her instructors.
