The Cordova public school has re
ceived from Mr. Henderson, territorial
commissioner of education, a series of
tests such as are now being used quite
generally as a means of comparing the
standard of work in any given school
with the average of work in many
other schools. Patrons of the school
may be interested in knowing later
haw well it stands the test.
A “loyalty” hour is now being ob
served weekly in each of the rooms
> of the public school. Two weeks ago
a debate between the high school and
eighth grade upon the question, “Re
solved, That Senator Chamberlain was
npt justified in his charges against

juring the inexperience of the de
leters and the short time for prepara
on Last week’s program of recita
oop and readings was also very pleas

o’clock Friday afternoon, in the hope
Hat parents and friends may be in
ctBced to encourage by their presence
the patriotic spirit of the pupils. The

by the Reds, who are maintaining a
