The school intends to commemor
ate George Washington’s birthday by
giving an informal program on Febru
ary 21 at the high school room, be
ginning at 1 o’clock. There will be a
joint celebration by the intermediate,
grammar, and high school grades.
Patriotic songs will be sung and an
address will be delivered by one of
Cordova’s prominent citizens. All
who are interested in the pupils and
the doings of the school are cordially
invited to attend.—Elizabeth O’Lough

C. O. Hazelett, clerk of the school
board, oaid the school a welcome visit
Wednesday afternoon. We hope the
other board members will follow his
good example

We were all disappointed because
the public school flag could not be
raised in honor of Abraham Lincoln’s
birthday. The rope was frozen, so
the flag stayed down.

Sliding down the hill beside the
school house seems to be great fun
among the little folks of the first and
second grades. When they come back
from a slide, they look just like little
snow people. Junior Lydick turns
somersaults on his way down. They
look too cunning for anything when
they come up, all covered with snow.
—Edna Rathwell, grade 6.

“Wounded in Action.”
Frank Angerman was hit in the
ear by a snowball. Wilfred Stump
fell off the rafters and was knocked
out. He had to be carried home, but
he showed the next day with a
“shiner.”
Bob Daggett, one of the sixth grade
boys, tackled Frank Angerman in
football and swore to it that his nose
was knocked out of joint.—Harry
O’Neill, eighth grade

The week beginning February 16
and ending February 22 is the nation
al week of song. America is not a
singing nation and we should strive
to arouse and develop a love for
■music. “Give me the man who sings
at his work,” said Carlyle. At this
time of all others should America
sing, when she has just emerged vic
torious from the bloody field of battle.
The Cordova public school should
join in the observance of this national
song festival during the coming week
by giving extra time and attention to
the singing of patriotic and folk songs
of our land.

Dr. T. D. Wood of New York city
has indicated the hours of sleep re
quired by children of varying ages.
Parents of those pupils who some
times come late to school, and often
are too sleepy to do their best work
while there, are requested to read
the following schedule and profit by
the suggestion:
Hours of
A ora clami fTlmn in Vind
5 to 6 13 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.
6 to 8 12 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.
8 to 10 11% 7:30 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.
10 to 12 11 8:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.
12 to 14 10% 8:30 p.m. to 7:00 a. m.
14 to 16 10 9:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.
16 to 18 9% 9:30 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.
While this may seem like an exces
sive amount of sleep to some, the fact
remains that a good many of our
growing boys and girls require more
sleep than they are now getting, if
they are to do their best work.

Oh dear, what can the matter be?
Dear, dear, what can the matter be?
Dear, dear, what can the matter be?
Parents don’t visit our school.
They care for their dances, they care
for their dollars,
They care for the movies, some fancy
. fine collars;
But little, we think, do they care for
their scholars—
Because they don’t visit our school.
We know we from hunger and cold
are protected;
In knowledge and virtue, our minds
are directed;
But still, we do think, we are sadly
neglected.
Because they don't visit our school

The first grade room held brief ex

day.

The other rooms do not think It fair
that Miss Kolbenson’s children should
have all the visitors. Envious eyes
are turned toward the room as each
visitor knocks at the door. \The
primary room has the record this
week for visitors, the following be
ing those who were entertained there
for this week: Mrs. McCarthy, Mrs.
Lee, Corporals Sims and Vassal, Mrs.
Corser, Mrs. Lydick, Mrs. MacCor

Room One had a very attractive val

The primary room had no tardiness
and only one absence during this

Grades 3, 4 and 5.
During the past week these grades
had perfect attendance for Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday, which is
a very good record, considering the
bad walking caused by the snow.

The-first quarter of Thursday after
noon was spent in making valentines,
and very tasty tokens they were, too.
In the evening a number of the girls

Sixth Grade Items.
Some people down town say that
the school children of Cordova public
school couldn’t write the items for
the paper, and the teacher must have
helped a lot and told them what to
write. We admit that the teacher in
some instances suggested what we
should write about, but we did most
of the work.—Billy Fields.

Friday Miss Johnson gave our

The sixth grade arithmetic class
has had work in decimal fractions.
During the past week we took up the
multiplication, addition and lubscrac
tion of decimals and had no trouble
with them, but when we came to the
division of decimals we found that it
was difficult to place the decimal
where it should be placed. The fol
lowing are the pupils who made an
average of 95 per cent and over in
this work during the past week: Edna
Rathwell, Harry Nelson and Billy
Fields.—-Ophelia Howard, sixth grade.

“What Lincoln Did for the Nation.”
February 12 we celebrated the
birthday of Lincoln. Flag salute, read
ing of the Gettysburg address and
tales from the life of Lincoln, made
up the program.
Do we recognie what Lincoln did
for the nation?
Abraham Lincoln has a rank equal
to any, not excepting Washington,
both being equal in justice, yberty
and humanity.
Lincoln completed the welding of
the nation that Washington had be
gun. The freeing of the slaves was
one of many good things of his life.
Lincoln united the nation, which was
divided, into the Union and the Con
federacy. After four years of blood
shed and strife, four dreadful years,
the nation was again united to meet
any foe however strong. Not only
that, but slavery w-as abolished across
half a continent.
Not what we say about Lincoln but
the countless things he did to make
our nation “one indivisible with lib
erty and justice for all” will endear
him to our memories forever. —Harry
Nelson, sixth grade.
