Report Cards
We had hoped and expected that at
least some of the parents whose chil
dren were graded “F" in citizenship
on monthly reports would inquire into
the reason. We are led to wonder if
parents always see and themselves
sign report cards, or if they fail to
appreciate their importance. Insist
upon seeing your child’s report card
at the end of each month of school.
This is a matter in which parents can j
not afford to show indifference.
' A child who is failed in citizenship
because of note-writing, whispering,
disturbing other pupils, etc., can not
not be making good in his studies, be
cause the work assigned, if done in
the right way, requires every minute
of his time.
It is not only the privilege nut tne j
duty of each parent to consult with j
the teacher regarding the progress of
his or her child. The mere fact of a
parent’s caring enough to investigate
often has a corrective influence upon
the child. A courteous hearing will J
always be granted any parent who
comes, and such inquiries will not be
regarded as fault-finding with the
teacher, but rather as an indication
of a desire to co-operate for the wel
fare of the child.
The citizenship grade is the most
important on the report card. The
present “citizens” of this school must
take their places and perform their
duties as the citizens of this town and
territory and nation only a few years
hence. The school is not functioning \
properly unless it is preparing them
for that time. When these boys and
girls are grown and out in the world,
not often will they be asked to work
this problem in arithmetic or answer
that question in geography, but every
hour of the day they are going to be
judged as to what kind of men and
women they are—whether they are
truthful, painstaking, honest in their
work whether watched by their em
ployers or not, etc. A teacher’s most
important work is moulding charac
ter, and she must have the sympathy
and help of parents if she is to suc
ceed in this greatest of all tasks.
A pupil who fails in his citizenship
t in his present grade can not hope to
be promoted to the next higher grade,
as giving an unearned promotion
would be placing a premium on work
poorly done, which will never raise
the standard of our school.
' The grades on the monthly report
cards are indicators. Are you parents
going to ignore them through the year
and then ask next May at promotion
time why we didn’t let you know be
fore that your child was failing?

Junior Red Cross
This week the pupils are privileged
to renew their membership in the |
Junior Red Cross. Many have already j
done so, and it is hoped that every,
child may do so soon. The rooms are |
racing to see which will be first to |
•have a 100 per cent enrollment.
On Friday morning the standing of |
the different rooms was as follows:
Grades 1 and 2, Miss Kolbenson
teacher—30 members out of a possi
ble 41.
Grades 3, 4 and 5, Miss Edelbrock
teacher—22 members out of a possi
ble 33.
Grades 6 and 7, Miss Wright teacher
%._1 member out of a possible 23.
w Grade 8 and high school, Miss
White teacher—11 members out of a
possible 18.

Through the kindness of Mr. Harry
Steele we are in receipt of a very in
teresting page of school note3 gotten
out by the pupils of the Ketchikan
high school. This paper has been
placed on the bulletin board so pupils
may read what the students of the
“first town in Alaska” (geographic
ally) are doing.

On Thursday afternoon Miss Wag
ner came to the building and tested
the vision of about half the pupils.
Most of them were found to have nor
mal vision, but a few cases were
found in which a need for corrective
glasses was indicated. The parents
of these pupils have been notified to
this effect. The remaining pupils will
be tested soon.

Second Boy—So I cun prove a worm

Teacher—What is a hypocrite?
Some Boy—A guy wot comes to

She—I got zero in algebra today.

Ancient history must.

Somewhere in school bright lights
are shining.
Not for us all is the honor roll—
O may this comfort some poor soul.”
Sophomore—The more I read, the

Tired Teacher—You must have read
considerably.
Headlee Lamprey had a birthday
recently. Next day his teacher, Miss
Wright, inquired:
“Well, Headlee, how does it feel to
be eleven ”
“Oh, I don’t notice any difference,
except that the spelling words are
harder,” replied Headlee.
Elizabeth O’Loughlen says she is
learning to like Emerson’s essay on
“Compensation.” Being one of the
girls who have to “do time after
school in the office for taking an aft
ernoon off to see the boys on the
Saturn, she is in a position to appre
ciate some of the fine points of the
essay as never before.
