School Notes
Mr. Calvin Hazelet of the school I e
board paid a visit to the different t
rooms one day last week. t
* * * s
The advanced class in English has i
completed Oliver Goldsmith’s “De- s
serted Village,” and is now reading t
“The Vicar of Wakefield.” During t
the spare moments in class Miss t
Keever is reading Gene Stratton Por
ter’s latest book, “A Daughter of the c
Land.” t
# * * t
Many of the school children are sub- £
scribing for a current events paper f
called “The Independent.” Current
topics will be discussed instead of the i
usual morning exercises. 5

Last year the pupils of each room 5
were granted a quarter holiday when .
they received forty stars, representing
perfect attendance for twenty days.
The same privilege has been renewed
this term, and we are all better in our
attendance, so as to gain#the quarter
holiday. I
* *
The freshmen algebra pupils had ]
two examinations last week. ;
*¥■ ■¥* 1
Ebba McCarthy of the primary
arade has been absent from school for £
some time, clue to illness, but is rap- j
idly convalescing. (
* * * 1
Dr. Charles Daggett delivered an in- .
teresting address last term and made j
a’ promise that the pupils who brushed ]
their teeth twice every day during
vacation would be entertained by him ,
at a loge party. Don and Elaine Bol- ,
<
linger and Naomi Robinson will com- .
pose the party this time.
—Elizabeth O’Doughlen.
Monthly reports of the pupils were 1
distributed on Thursday afternoon. 1
Pupils receiving low grades this month 1
should not be discouraged, because
there are eight remaining months in c
which to improve them. Much atten- I
Mon was given to the citizenship s
grades, for if a good character is not ?
built, of what benefit is an education? ]
Parents should give special attention i
to the citizenship markings, as they
include deportment, industry and neat- s
ness. These will help to explain the ;
grades given in studies. The monthly '
markings are: E., excellent, 95-100; (
V. G., very good, 90-95; G., good, i
85-90; M„ medium, 80-85; F., failure, t
below 80. The passing grade required i
is SO per cent. i
i
The high school had the highest per ,
cent of attendance for the first month i
of school, namely, 99.07 per cent. It <
likewise led in the grade for punctu- ]
ality, having 99.08 per cent. (
• # * * 11
Friday afternoon the school was fa- \ i
vored by a visit from Diasdado Pas
cual, a young Filipino, who answered <
many questions for the girls and boys j
of the sixth and seventh grades, and (
told them many things of interest ]
about his native islands.
* * * .
Miss Edelbrock’s room has a very .
creditable display of colored crayon
nmrlr rlnno rtnrinp' thp rirawine' nprinrts
Miss Kolbenson’s bulletin board holds
some very good illustrations of stories <
drawn by the little people with their ]
colored crayons, and some samples of
good work in penmanship done by the
pupils of grades 6 and 7.
# # *
The class in sewing is progressing
nicely under Miss Edelbrock’s capable ^
supervision. Two boys have joined the ^
class—Headlee Lamprey and William
O’Neill—who evidently believe in pre- ^
paredness along all lines.

Items from teachers’ monthly re- £
ports for September: Total enroll
ment, 116; total number neither ab- £
sent nor tardy, 71; total number tar
dies, 19; total number days of absence, ^
46; visits by parents, 12.
^ ^
The number of tardies for the past
month does not reflect credit upon
the community. In spite of all in
ducements given pupils to come on
time every morning and noon, not
* much can be accomplished unless pa
rents co-operate with the teachers. Too
often children give as their reason for j
being late at school that their parents
did not rise in time to get breakfast
over with and start them in time. If £
very family claimed this privilege
tie outlook for the school would be
ad indeed. Certain rules are neces
ary to maintain any kind of organ- i
sation, and this is especially true of
chool. Parents should realize that
hey have a duty in this matter toward
he community as well as toward
heir own children.
The boy or girl who forms a habit
if always being late will likely carry
hat habit over into the working life
hat follows school days, and it is not
, good asset. Employers don’t care
or that kind of help.
Every teacher in the corps is doing
ter very best to make this the best
chool year Cordova has ever ’had.
Von’t the parents do their part by
ending their children every day and
ilways on time?
^ ^
We are always glad to have visitors,
rhe school belongs to the community,
md the members of the community
should be interested enough to visit
he various rooms and see wbat is be
ng done. Children whose parents
teep in close touch with the school
ilways manifest more interest and do
>etter work.
Persons who visit and inform them
elves as to the school’s activities are
n a position to offer constructive crit
:ism, the kind that suggests something
letter in place of the thing criticized,
md that kind of criticism we solicit
lecause it is our earnest desire to
lave the best school possible. Those
leople who never come near the
school and yet presume to criticize
ire guilty of destructive criticism,
vhich never has helped and never
vill help anyone, but only tends to
liscouragement. If these, lack the
ime or inclination to come and see
or themselves, let them remember
hat “silence is golden.”
What person, man or wornana, who
iwned a fine colt would turn it over
o a trainer and then never go near to
see how they were getting on to
gether? Needless question! Yet a
>arent will give what should be his
nost cherished possession—his child
—into the keeping of an absolute
stranger to mould and form his char
icter during the greater part of his
vaking hours. In a way it is very
somplimentary to the stranger
eacher, for it certainly betokens great
rust, but is a compliment she does
lot crave because, if any difficulty
irises in the management of the child,
t is usually the parent who has kept
■eligiously clear of the school and the
eacher, who has the most to say in
:riticism thereof, because he does not
lave first-hand information of the con-!
litions existing in the school, and of
he difficulties under which the
eacher may be laboring.
Of course the parents are busy, and
sometimes it means a real sacrifice
o lay aside everything for a morning
ir an afternoon at school, but we be
ieve that any such sacrifice will be
veil repaid in profit both to them
selves and children. At least try it
md see.

A Little Nonsense
Teacher—Who can tell me a thing
>f importance that did not exist a
mndred years ago?
Little Boy—Me.
# * *
Riggs—Did your wife scold you
vhen you came home last night?
jiggs—you don’t know what it is to
lave a wife who was once a school
eacher. She simply made me write
i hundred times on a slate, I must
)e home by 10 o’clock.”
* #
“l wonder why that chap is so
luiet?”
“Well, you see, he graduated from
he school of experience, and that in
stitution has no college yell.”
* * *
“Bobby, I hear you are going to
school now. Which part do you like
>est?”
“Coming home,” was Bobby’s quick
•eply.

History states that Boadicea had an
tbundance of bright yellow hair which
eached to her girdle.
Mike Shepard’s version of the
bove:
“Boadicea had bright yellow hair
vhich fell down to the griddle.”

The general science class has been
tudying the metric system of meas
irement, and among other things dis
ussed the liter, pronounced “leeter,”
heir teacher told them.
Don Bollinger—Miss Wright, how
nuch does it take to make a litter?
Miss Wright—You mean “how
nany,” don’t you, Don?
