very tastily decorated with black
cats and pumpkin faces and a
light luncheon was served.
About 10 o'clock the party
marched dow n town in a body
and proceded to finish the even
ing in the real hollow6en spirit
and many innocent pranks were
played. The party broke up at
a late hour with everyone re-
porting a fine time.

School - Notes
Another month of school has
closed and the monthly exa min
ations have been held, and we-
send the report cards to the pat-
rons for your examination. We
suggest that you look at them
closely and see whether the
grade of your boy or girl is as
good as you would like to have
it and if not inquire the cause
of its being too low. If his grade
is not as high as you think it
should be, ask him how many
nights out of each week he
spends on the streets till after
study hour. We are sorry to
know that some of the school
boys are permitted to waste
time out in town of nights when
they should be at homo prepar-
ing lessons for the next day,
Now, it may be that tin pupils
have not told you the conditions
under Which they will be passed
fiom the grade they are now in.
For your information, and wo
hope far their good, wa will ex
plain our method of pre motion
from one grade to anotlit r. We
give monthly tests at the end
of each montn from which we
make the pupil's monthly grad
We keep these grades till the
close of school, and then add
them up and divide by l ine in
in order to get the average
monthly grade for the whole
year. .Just before the holidays
we hold a mid term eyaminat-
ton arid keep the grades made
then till the final examination
at the close of school. I'hen we
add these two examination
grades and divide by two to get
the average examonation grade
for the whole year. Then we add
the monthly avervge to the ex-
amination average and divide
by two to get the final whole
year average of each pupil, and
if he has made a general average
of 85 we pass him, if not he re
mains in the same grade for the
next year. No pupil can pass a
grado who fails in any branch
to make a grade as high as 70 on
each of the regular examinations
— mid term and final. Now,
you know how your children will
be passed from the gra de they
are in, and if you Want them to
pedially, Mon., Tues., Wed.,
and Thnrs. nights and have
them do the work that the teach-
ers have given them Please do
not accept the statement that
you may often hear: "I have
already got my lessons, let me
go out and play." That might
be true in one out of many
instances, but I would not ad-
vise you to risk it. There is no
good waiting anv boy on the
street at night when he has les-
sons to recite next day. Now, if
you permit him to fool away his
time till close of school, do not
think that there is any way on
earth for you to get us to pass
him. The school board bears
us out in this method and it
must prevail.
In order that you may have a
more definite idea of what your
boys and girls are doing in school
we give below some sample
problems that were used in Fri-
day's test, rnd in which more
than one or two pupils made a
grade of 100. Can jou work
them? try it.
No. Three."Amn purchased a
rectangular field whoes length
was one and one niueth times its
breadth. It contained 9 acres,
what was the length of one side?"
No. Four. "What is the pres-
sure in water 150 ft. deep on a
diver whose diving bell is flat on
top and is one foot square?"
These will give you some idea
of what your children are doing,
and they are only samples of
what they do every school day.
Now. to do this kine of work
takes close application to books
nights, and we insist that you
'help push while we pull''.
Don't forget to come to our
hturary society Friday night,for
we expect a real good evening's
entertainment. There will be a
debate with boys and girls on
different sides to make it " inter-
esting" we will have new gass
heaters in the auditorium for
Friday night, and thus insure
you a warm, comfortable and
pleasant evening.
Just one word to our friends
out of town. Why don't you take
advantage of the school's offer
of free tuition and send while it
costs nothing?
