SCHOOLNOTES
(Continued from Page Three)
tlgebra lesson was easy, and would

ilete.

This week the school was favored
>y a visit from L. D. Henderson, com
nissioner of education for the terri
ory. In a talk before the school he
complimented the pupils upon their
school spirit, and said everyone
seemed to be going somewhere and
icted as if he knew what he was
ibout.

ment has been made.

Edna Thawley, Margaret Foster and
Catherine Boyce.
The Roosevelt Creed
I believe in honesty, sincerity and
he square deal; in making up one’s
nind what to do—and in doing it.
I believe in tearing God and taking
rne’s own part.
I believe in hitting the line hard
vhen you are right.
I believe in speaking softly and ear
■ying a big stick.
I believe in hard work and honest
iport.
I believe in a sane mind in a sane
>ody.
I believe that we have room for but
>ne soul loyalty, and that is loyalty to
he American people.
A Little Nonsense
Miss White, in a letter to home
oiks, gave the following interesting
>it of information: “The Copper
Jiver railroad owns the cottages in
which its employes live. They are
minted red with white trimmings and
ook real cute.” Just what did she
nean?

The teacher was trying to explain
;o her class the effects of heat and
sold. She said that an iron bridge
would expand several inches in hot
weather and contract a like amount
in cold weather. She then asked a
little girl for another instance of the
expansion and contraction caused by
heat and cold. The child hesitated
for a minute or so and then replied,
‘In hot weather the days are long and
in cold weather they are much
3horter.”

The class had emerged joyously
from a semester of American litera
ture—its masterpieces, its authors,
with their various styles, etc. With
confidence the teacher scanned the
final examination papers and found
this in answer to “What was Whit
tier’s style?”: “Whittier was not
what you would call a stylish man. He
cared more for his books and for writ
ing than for clothes.”

A grammar school principal went
from room to room explaining what
to do in case of fire. The pupils
listened respectfully until he came
to the parting injunction, when they
smiled, for he said: “Above all things
if your clothing catches fire, keep
cool.” But he failed to tell how this
might be done.

A soldier in a hospital, on recovering
consciousness, said: “Nurse, what is
this on my head?” “Vinegar cloths,’
she replied; “you had a fever.” A
pause. “And what is this on my
chest?” “A mustard plaster; you havt
had pneumonia.” “And what is this
at my feet?” “Salt bags. You have
had a frostbite.” Just then a soldiei
in the next bed looked up and said:
“Hang a pepper box to his nose, nurse
and he will be a cruet.”

Johnnie had toothache, but refuset
to have the tooth pulled. “Do hav<
it out, dear,” pleaded the anxioui
mother. “Yes, John, have it out,’
added his brother. “It will be om
less to clean, you know.”
RELIGION
IS POWER
BELT UP
your life, time and talents to the
church of God, the greatest of all
earthly institutions. The church is
“belted up” to God's power house,
hence its unlimited power. The church
is the parent of our schools, philan
thropic institutions, hospitals, and all
social uplift organizations; the Inspi
ration of art, music and literature. She
is the keystone of civilization. With
out her wholesome, uplifting power
and Influence society would quickly re
turn to a state of anarchy and bar
barism. To get the best out of life
“belt up” to the church of the Lord
Jesus Christ and attend the services
