Once more the ichoolhoiiBO doors

iron refreshed by a two weeks' rest and
all were Bffalri ready to perform their
respective duties,
oooo
New classes have been taken up In
the dlfforent classes of the high school.
The 8enlors began jjcneral Elstory, the

Nuts to crack Why did the teacher
of room 13 not have an oyster stew last
Tuesday evening ?
Because she was proving the law of
(jravlty.

One of the teachers made this remark
when coming down from chapel the
other morning : "Oh ! my feet Is cold."

During the mid-term examination
one of the pupils of the ninth grado,
which together with the tenth bears
the proud distinction of being called
the preparatory grade, wrote the word
proprietor" as being the grndo to
which she belonged. Now the teachers
of the uppergrades are congratulating
themselves for adding spoiling to the
present course of study and wish alNO
to add that there is a decided Improve
ment in spelling to date.

It seems proper at this time of the
year to say a few words concerning our
Literary Society. At this time when
new and good resolutions are being
made and none broken It might be well
to make a few remarks concerning this
particular part of our school work.
Judging from the excellent program
rendered on last Friday it seems a few
"resolutions" have been made. Every
one know their part well, there was not
a single break in the entire program.
Taking all things Into consideration It
was tho bust program of the year. This
Is gratifying Indeed. It is a well known
fact that pupils as well as older persons
may become negllgont In their work
but it is to bo hoped that the pupils will
not lag a whit In this work during the
rest of the school year. The training
which they are getting Friday after
noons could not be duplicated. The
fact that they are doing such gocd
earnest work Is very gratifying to tholr
teachers and should be welcome news
to their parents as well.
Now this coming Friday a special
program, entitled "A Country School,''
will bo rendered. The members of the
high school cordially Invite tho publlo
to be present.

Dr. N. C. SchaefTer, superintendent
of the public Bchools of Pennsylvania,
recently wrote the quotations given
below. It is worthy of the attention of
directors, parents and the public in
general. "What Is tho mlnsion of the
public school anyway V Is it to make
mathematicians, poets, physicians, zoo
logists, physicists, chemists, botanists,
horticulturists and other "Ists" ad la
finltum ? What is to be tho end of
these conntant additions to the currl
culum of tho public schools ? Is there
no limit to tho demands to be mado on
teachers and pupils ? This taking on
new subjects, everything in sight, has
gone to madnuHB. It is no wonder the
doctors are alarmed. What norvoB
could stand It ? It is time to call a
halt. It Is tlmo to thin out simply to
Improvo, but not to multiply. Is It not
the simple mission of the publlo schools
to give a thorough drill on tho elements
of education and to turn out of school
boys and girls with healthy bodies,
minds and hearts with a love for that
branch of learning which is to be most
useful In their lives ?"
Finds Way to Live Long.
The startling announcement of a dis
covery that will surely lengthen life is
made by editor O. H. Downey, of Chu
rubusco, Ind. "I wish to state," he
writes, "that Dr. King's New Discovery
for Consumption is the most infallible
remedy that I have ever known for
Coughs, Colds and Grip. It's Invalu
able to people with weak lungs. Hav
lng this wonderful medicine no one need
dread Pneumonia or Consumption. Its
relief 1b instant and cure certain." H.

A Genuine Surprise to Theatre-Goers.
The Gus Sun Mtnlstroi's made their
Initial bow before an audience that test
ed the capacity of Fisher opera house
last night and from the rise of the
curtain the fun started, and fun It was,
and unadulterated.
It Is a positive fact that Mr. Suu has
gathered about him a coterie of "real"
comedians, the principals of whom are
Harry Shunk and Sam Horner. While
the singing was by far the best that has
bon heard In tho minlstrel line In
many a day.
Especial mention should be made of
the clover dancing of Jimmy Comers,
who made a decided bit In the first
part. In the specialty part of the pro
gram many novelties wore Introduced.
Without doubt Horner and Diamond's
knockabout act was the laughing hit of
thl part of the program, while the
juggling of Gus Sun and the horizontal
bar act of DeVero and DeCarlo was
really next to marvelous.
Take It all in all Mr. Sun has the
right idea of a real minlstrel perform
ance and his company will undoubtedly
be a welcome visitor In this city at any
time.-California Union. At Reynolds
