i6 SCARLET AND GREEN Antioch School. The Seventh grade is sorry to lose Irene Long, who left schol Monday. Her parents are moving to Atchison. Six pupils of the Seventh grade are ready to begin their relief maps of the United States. Mae Smith of the Seventh grade and Ona McAdams, of the Sixth, are entertaining the mumps this week. The Fouth grade enrollment has been reduced to forty-five pupils. Alveda Cole and Hattie Armstrong have moved away. The Third grade has the attendance banner this week. Gladys A. Crummel entered the First Primary on March 28. Maude and Rosa Kelly have been transferred from the Fifth grade, Antioch to the Fifth grade, Athens. The Second grade has begun working with water colors. c. THE IDEAL SENTENCE It should be powerful in its substantives, choice and discreet in its adjectives, nicely correct in its verbs; not a word that could be added, nor one which the most fastidious would venture to suppress; in order lucid; in sepuence logical, in method prespicious, and yet with that inviting intracacy which disappears as you advance in the sentence; the language, throughout, not quaint, not obsolete, not common, not new; its several clauses justly proportioned and carefully balanced, so that it moves like a well disciplined army organized for conquest; the rythym, not that of music but of a higher and more fantastic melodiousness submitting to no rule, incapable of being taught, the substance and the form alike ‘disclosing a happy union of the soul of the author to the subject of his thought, having therefore individuality without personal predominence; and withal, there must be a sense of felicity about it declaring it to be the product of a happy moment, so that you feel that it will not happen again to that man who wrote the sentence, nor to any of the other of the sons of man to say the like thing so choicly, tersely, melliflously and completely.—From Sir Arthur’s Helps in “Realmah. ” Athens School. Athens will have a school garden this year. Mr. Daugherty has kindly given us the use of two lots free of charge. This will afford ample room for individual gardens. The seed will be furnished the young agriculturalists and the products will be theirs for whatever purpose they may see fit to use them. A special study .will be made of the culture of plants and we are sure great good will result from their efforts. We hope that where the child cannot take a school garden a home garden will be started. All humanity depends, for its living upon the soil and its products. In view of this we feel that every child should know something of soil tillage and plant culture. Our primary teacher, Miss Miller, is in the hospital at Omaha, having had a surgical operation of a very critical nature performed. At last reports she was doing as well as could be expected. Mrs. Mclninch is subsuttiting for her. Our Patron’s Day will be Friday, April 14th. We hope many will call on us that day. No special effort is being made for display purposes, but our regular work will be exhibited so all may known just what our people are capable of doing. A good program is being prepared for rhetoricals Friday, April 7, at 2:30 p. m. Helen Lorance is a new pupil of the Fifth grade. Her former home was in Brock „ Ralph Quackenbush, of the Sixth grade, made a trip to Colorado recently and told of many interesting sights. Alverta Cole and Ernest Asher enrolled in the Fourth grade the 27th of March. Miss Bennett was a welcome caller in the Second primary room March 16th. Minnie Aden,of Fairbury, and Margaret and Blanche Asher, of Falls City, are new pupils in the Second primary room. Among the pupils on the sick list are Grace Kidwell, Flossie Parker and King Radloff. The Third grade pupils were sorry to lose one of their number, Agnes Zumbrom, who has gone to Verdon to live. Mesdames Crichton, Thomas and Mastin were pleasant callers in the Second primary room.

SCARLET AND GREEN 15 Sophomores. Bettie Clevenger has been visiting friends at Lorton, Nebraska. Love Hadsdell was absent several days the first part of the month. Miss McCartney kindly excused all, except a very few, from taking final examination in Algebra. Jessie Clarke has been absent many days this quarter, owing to sickness, but is again able to be in school. It hardly seems possible that the school year is so nearly over. It seems as if each school year is shorter than the last. Nellie Wilds was absent one week the beginning of the month. She has been absent several days also, on account of sickness. Miss Sly no longer requries us to outline our History lesson daily. This gives us more time to spend on our lesson, for recitation. It seems impossible for our grade to get along without some cases of tardiness. We hope to do better for the remainder of the school year. We have found the second book of Caesar to be much more difficult than the first, but have now finished it and are ready for an examination. Ora Bennett and Harry Keifer, two of the Tenth grade boys have discontinued their school work in the High School and are now working in the country. It will soon be time to gather our Bontany specimens. We shall be required to have thirty-five specimens of flowers, but were not required to get specimens of wood. So far this month we have been fortunate in regard to examinations. None of the teachers have given us any tests, but it is again nearly time for quarterly examinations. We shall only be required to take examinations in four subjects this quarter, owing to the fact that we have had such short work in Geometry. It was with joy that we handed in our Algebra books March 8, but our joy was of short duration, for on the same day we were issued Geometry books. We will only be required to complete two books of Geometry this year, but we imagine that will take plenty of hard work. Miss McCartney will teach the subject. Freshmen. Grace Relf and Schyburt Miles are taking Civics with the Juniors. We have been taking a review of back work in Algebra for about a week. Ernest Armstrong was absent on March 15th and 16th on account of sickness. We are all impatiently waiting examinations which will probably come next week. The Freshmen were glad to welcome Flora Newman back in school after an illness from March 7 to 17th. Two of the Ninth grade students, Lora Swan and Margie Killarney are taking Geometry with the Tenth grade. Miss Theresa Heinsheimer and Ethel Winkler, of Glenwood, Iowa, were visitors of the Freshmen class Friday, March 24. Folyd Wilkie, of Brock High School, was enrolled as a Freshman on March 14. He is to be commended for catching step” with his class so readily. The Juniors and Sophomores should be sure to avoid the woman in black” on Literary nights. If they are not careful they are in danger of getting eaten up. Between Prof. Simpson and Miss Anderson, the Freshmen ought to become quite proficient in the art of using numbers. Prof. Simpson is making bookkeepres of them and Miss Anderson is teaching them to count in Latin. An unfortunate accident occurred at the High School, Thursday noon, March 16. Goldie Elliott was struck in the back by a hammer. At first it was thought the injury was serious, but we are glad to report that the patient is improving rapidly and will soon be in school again. c The following is taken from the Lincoln Star of Wednesday, March 29. Prof. Mc-Murray was principal of the Auburn High School in 1899-1900, the first year Superintendent Gardner was here. Prof. Arthur McMurray, of the Ott school of expression at Chicago, is in the city visiting with his wife at the home of her parents, 0. A. Cooper and wife. Mr. McMurray has just closed a trip through South Dakota in the interests of the Redpath lecture bureau and will continue next week in Iowa and Indiana.
