“Books are the windows through
which the soul looks out.” A home
without books is like a room without
windows. No man has a right to
bring up his children without sur
rounding them with books, if he has
the means to buy them. It is wrong
to his family; he cheats them. Child
ren learn to read by being in the
presence of books. The lover of knowl
edge comes with reading and grows
upon it, and the love of knowledge in
a young mind is almost a warrant
against the inferior excitement of pas
sion and vices. A little library, grow
ing larged every year, is an honorable
part of a man’s history. It is a duty
to have books; a library is not a lux
ury but one of the necessities of life.”
—Henry Ward Beecher.
* * *
A circulating library has made its
appearance at school. This library is
under the supervision ot Barth
O’Loughlen. In the exchange library
there are forty books which were do
nated by the pupils. The boys enjoy
them very much, as they consist
( mostly of works of fiction and ad
venture.
The school board will soon provide
us with a large book-case, with glass
doors. All of the books will then be
locked up until we have made an in
ventory of them, and repaired all
damages. With the money netted
from the tag sale we expect to pur
chase some fine reading material for
the pupils. The money will be wisely
spent for books of adventure, history,
fiction, and reference.
What do Cordova citizens do with
books when they have read them and
have no further use for them? Are
they thrown away? There are many
pupils at the school who would be glad
to have those books to read. The
library would gratefully accept them
if they were given to some of the
pupils, who would deliver them at the
school. Give “Young America” the
material to work with, and they will
do the rest.

Small boy, rising—“Say, teacher,
when’s the “shiveree” goin’ ter be?

Revised Spelling
The sixth grade pupils were having
an excited spelling match. The bright
pupils defied the teacher witti'“ every
hard word. The tactful teacher, at
their request, then turned to the ad
vanced part of the book and gave the
word "elixir.” Every one of our
bright (?) scholars failed, and at the
end of the line was one eager boy
anxious to prove his ability in orthog
raphy. When given the word, he
piped out, “h-e-l-l-c-k-s-h-e-r—he-licks
her.” And he couldn’t see why every
body laughed.
* * *
Improvements
The school board has been kind
enough to instaU hot water and liquid
soap fixtures in the two downstairs
rooms. In addition, four rooms have
new sanitary drinking fountains.
* * *
In the general science room a black
board has been placed which we are
very glad to have in our new study of
topographic maps.
Because of the glare of the sun on
the snow, Miss Keever has found it
necessary to have shades put on the
windowi in her office.
* * *
In order to cause less disturbance
in the building, and to lessen the prac
tice of needless phoning, the tele
phone has been removed from the hall
to Miss Keever’s office. As it is much
more quiet there than in the halls, it
is easier to hear what is said oyer the
phone.
* * *
Pictures of works by America's
famous women sculptors have been
taken from the Mentor magazine and
arranged about the English room, to
familiarize us with their works and
at the same time add to the ataractlve
ness of the room.
* * * ’
A first aid kit has been fixed to the
wall in the hall where the phone used
to be. In it are all the necessary
things to be used in case of accidents
until the injured boy or girl can be
taken home, or to the doctor, as the
case demands.

A bulletin board has been placed
in file main hall of the school build
ing. The board is exclusively for the
use of the principal for making gen
eral announcements for the good of
the school.
Notes From Miss Kolbenson’s Room
(First and Second Grades)
The first and second grades are
learning a pussy-willow song, and to
make it more entertaining Jack Erus
sard has brought some pussy-willows
to school to decorate the room with.
Later the “pussies" will be used in
picture-making.
* * *
The morning talks this week were
devoted to the people and animals of
the desert. The latter included»the
ostrich, camel and the Arabian horse.
' * * *
The first grade made arithmetic
’boolklets Monday. Enough pages are
made to contain two weeks’ work,
which is marked daily for its neatness
and accuracy^ At the end of the period
the books are marked with the grade
earned through the two weeks. The
first books completed were taken
home last Friday. The pupils own
ing books marked one hundred at that
time were: Louise Lacy, Nancy Coun
cil, Chester Mellison, Karl Rosswog,
Alfred Erussard, Edna Shepard, and
Paul Bloedhorn.
* * *
A quarter holiday was enjoyed
Tuesday by the little people, and they
are now working hard to earn another
forty stars in as short a time as pos
sible.
* ¥ *
Miss Kolbenson has spent a great
deal of her spare time in decorating
her room. 1 “Dolly Dingle’’ and her
friends in various poses have been
cut out and mounted on blue paper.
Colored pictures of birds and rainbow
lanterns strung across the windows
add to the attractiveness of the room.

Notes From Miss Joslin’s Room
The pupils in the'third grade who
received 100 per cent in spelling this
week were Alice O’Neill, Irva Call
and Lenora Holden. Those who
earned over 96 per cent in arithmetic
were Edith Catherine Smith, Elaine
Bollinger and Pierre Eurasseard^.
* * *
Tuesday the fifth grade geography
class had a perfect lesson.
*■ * * *
Phyllis Downing and Pierre Eurs
seard have had perfect spelling les
sons each day this week.
* * *
All of the pupils of Miss Joslin's
room are very busy preparing for a
spelling ^natch.
* * * •
On Friday the fourth grade wrote
interesting stories of “The two child
ren who were lost in the Black For
est.” Everyone tried to do his best.
* * *
Cecil Cox of the fourth class has
received perfect grades in English
throughout the week. Her grades in
arithmetic have all been over 96 per
cent.
Notes From Miss Johnson’s Room
(Sixth and Seventh Grades)
This week is the fourth successive
week in which this room had no
tardies, and but one absence occurred
during the period.
* * *
The %xth grade had a geography
examination that covered the work on
the Atlantic and Gulf coastal states.
Headley Lamj>rey made the highest
grade, which was 94.
* * *
This Week, in emergencies, the sixth
grade studied Professor Shkefer’s
method of restoring the breath of
drowned persons. Drowning is not
caused by water getting into the
lungs, but by the failure of the heart
to do its work.
The one important thing is to get
the person to breathe. The method
Professor Shaefer found most satis
factory is to lay the person on his
stomach in a level place; turn the
head to the left side so that the nose
and mouth are away from the ground.
Either kneel by the side of the patient
or sit on his hips, and place both
hands over the small part of the back
with the thumbs nearly touching and
the fingers spread out over the lower
ribs; then swing yourself forward,
counting three oi» this movement.
Now quickly swing yourself backward,
releasing the pressure, but keeping
the hands on the body in the original
position and the,arms straight. Then
three more counts; repeat this move
ment. This should be done ten or
twelve times a minute without paus
ing between the movements.
—Edna Rr.thwell.
High School Notes
The shorthand class had a test
Thursday afternoon, and the follow
ing grades were made by the pupils of
that class: Genieve Rosswog 94, John
Rosswog 91, Margaret Foster 91,
Esther Hile 87, Edna Thawley 85, Mrs.
Zeigler 82, and Ethel Graham 70.
Each declared that it was the hardest
test yet taken on that subject.
¥ ¥ ¥
The high school general science
class are having an interesting study
of topographic maps. The explana
tion by Miss Johnson concerning re
lief maps, haphures, and contour maps
was very clear.
¥ ¥ ¥
The freshmen class are studying
factoring in Algebra. At present they
are wrestling with the square of poly
nomials and binomials, and at times
it is “nip and tuck,”
¥ ¥ ¥
In our study of Greek tyrants the
high school have used “The History
of Greece,” as a reference, as it gives
many details that are omitted in our
tex% on “Ancient History.”
¥ ¥ ¥
This week the reporting and editing
of all the School Notes have been in
charge of Leona Churchill and Eliza
beth O’Loughlen, ably assisted by
Esther Hile, who typed the notes.

CHICAGO.—Mrs. Alice Clement Fnubel Is Chicago’s best-known police
woman'. Part of her dally work la to keep lovelorn young couples from
rushing Into hastv marriages. She Is the Nemesis of elopers. Ruth Clement
Is Mrs. Faubel’s twenty-year-old
daughter. Ruth wanted to get mar
ried. She and Charles C. Marrow, son
of a former mayor of Parsons, Kan.,
had It all arranged. But Marrow Is
In the naval aviation corps at Pensa
cola, Fla. Mrs. Faubel Insisted there
be no marriage until he was released.
Marrow came up to Chicago to
spend the holidays near Ruth. Most
everybody connected with the business
of marrying people around Chicago
knows Mrs. Faubel, so there seemed
no chance for an elopment by Ruth and Charley, mra. Faubel felt perfectly
safe.
And then Ruth and Charley Just up and got themselves married I Quit*
simply, too. They got their license at the county building. But they dodged
the judges. Instead, the couple went to a minister In the neighborhood ot
Ruth’s home at 4715 North Washtenaw avenue, and there the knot was tied.
Ruth returned home and was unsuspected. Mrs. Faubel, Inspecting a
hotel register, found “Mr. and Mrs. Charles C. Marrow.” She rushed up to
the room. Neither Charley nor Ruth was there—but a marriage certificate
was In plain sight.
Mrs. Faubel was peeved. She phoned the lieutenant at her station and
told him she couldn’t work—her daughter had eloped.
“Are they married?” the lieutenant asked.
"Yes,” said Mrs. Faubel. “But I’m going to wait right here till they come
\>ack. I’m going to arrest him and send him back to his station^
The fire of the policewoman cooled after a time, and then Mrs. Faubel
was again just the mother.
All Is quiet on the Potomac now.
