Superintendent CHILDREN REFLECT WHAT THEY SEE ANI) HEAR Arc you continually preaching to your children thnt they mustn’t do this and that because it is against the rules of good breeding, or contrary to law and order, or at variance with your orders? Then, what kind of example do you set on occasion? When driving do you exceed the speed limit, cut corners, swear at those who cut in on you? When some one gives you too much change do you keep It and mention the fact at home? Do you expect your children to be upright and square when you so often play a dishonest part? There may be considerable difference between your infractions and the lengths of guilt to which your children go; but how cun you expect How many hoys and girls ever stopped to think that when they talk all the time in class, they are robbing their classmates? Probably they have always thought of robbing as stealing money or jewelry or other things that belonged to somebody else. Stealing time from other people is just as serious an offense as stealing things thnt cost n lot of money for these can be given back hut stolen time can never be replaced. The teacher tries to divide her time somewhere near equally among the children and if one insists on using a great deal more, than his time and demanding more than his share of the teacher’s attention, he has robbed another child of his share. Sometimes on the playground, we see a boy or girl who wants to lead the games every time, who wants to be the captain or take the most attractive part in whatever activity is going on. This too, is robbery, for each child has an equal right to exercise his ability and initiative, and when one boy or girl does the lending all the time, to the exclusion of the others, he is robbing his friends of their rights. Let us try to remember thnt others have the same rights that we have.—Lexington Avenue Leader. HOW WE SHOULD THINK Here is a list of dos and “don’Ls,” or rules of mental and social hygiene ns he gave them. DOS. 1. Try to be cheerful and associate with “jolly” people. 2. Cultivate friends. 11. Remember most people like to associate with their fellows. 4. Be open minded. 5. Be confidential with your real friends and tell them your business. 0. Be energetic and try to reach a definite goal. 7. Work every day and keep your mind off yourself.

She was eminently successful a a teacher and during her long connection with the State school she endeared herself to the students, teachers and officers. Mrs. Phoenix was a highly cultured and refined woman and had u host of friends here who will learn with sincere regret of her pussing. CAMP FIRE GIRLS EARN AN OUTING By Mis Reader Perhaps the true spirit of Camp Fire has never been so evident during this school year as it was when the girls camped ut Miss Render’s cottage ut Delavnn Lake over the week end of May 22nd. Friday after school it started to rain, but after the girls were settled and fires were started in the stovo nnd the fire-place, the fun began and the rain was soon forgotten. After a good supper, we hud u marshmallow' roast. The duties were equully divided and every girl knew before she reached the cottage what her duties were going to be for each hour, because Miss Briggs carefully charted them nnd the girls had drawn them from a hat. The meals were unusually good nnd each girl hud her turn nt cooking. Everyone ate so much that the old adage. The proof of the pudding is the eating thereof was well proven. The dinner on Sunday noon deserves special credit. Four chickens and everything that goes with a chicken dinner, even ice cream, were consumed. Saturday morning after the work was finished, which by the way, was unusually early, we hiked beyond the Highlands. The girls’ red cheeks and appetites at the noon meal were evidences of the effect of out-of-door . In the afternoon we took another walk. For supper we had a picnic in front of the cottage. Some of the girls earned honor by building different kinds of fires and demonstrating their uses. In the evening, games were pluyed and candy was made, which had to be eaten with a spoon, but the w’eather was probably to blame. Sunday afternoon we entertained the hearing Camp Fire girls nnd the Blue Birds from down town with a ceremonial meeting in the open. When camp broke up, we were tired but happy. Our greatest regret was that next year the present seniors would be in a great field.

Delavan, Wisconsin, hiked to an overnight camp on the Oberla farms, about four miles from Delavan. We took a large canvas tent in n smull, square, two-wheeled cart and each hoy carried two blankets apiece. Food enough for four meals and toilet articles were also taken. We left Saturday noon under the supervision of Scoutmaster Cameron and Scout-aid Schlosser. During the morning the weather was cloudy and windy with slight signs of rain, but it gradually cleared up at noon. Pushing the cart and carrying the poles, we arrived at our camp site in thirty-five minutes of brisk walking. Getting our tent up was quite u job but we finally succeeded. We hud our first meal over three fires. One was made with a steel rod resting on two pieces of wood. From this was suspended a kettle of water. Another fire was made from three poles tied together ut one end, spread over the firtf, with a coffee pot suspended frobi the top by u chain. The other fire was surrounded by stones on which rested a mash to cook und fry things. Out first meal was made up of bacon, coffee, bread and baked potatoes. Everybody enjoyed it even though part was burnt or blackened. The night was quite chilly and some of us gave up our blankets to others whilfc we laid around one of the Hre . We told stoHes, Jokes und what we thought of the trip so far. All of u were up long before the time for the sun to rise. In fact some of us slept not at all. Breakfast was a regular Christmas dinner for us. Bacon, egg. ., coffee and pancakes constituted our fare. Everybody cooked their own food except the eggs und all had to help themselves or starve. After breakfast we took the tent down which wus quite a job but done successfully. We packed everything up so as to be able to start at any time. When the work waa done several of us boys went into the woods and tried to take pictures of wild animals and birds. Two of the boys, who were out taking pictures, saw a car coming down the lane It was Mr. Pleasant and August Kastner coming to see how we had fared over night. It had started to rain slightly so we started our return journey as soon as our visitors had left. We made the State School in forty minutes and I believe everyone was thankful that we did, os all were very tired. -------- O ------- Johnny Medbury soys that Chinese money is the most sanitary, because it has a hole in the middle. The germs can't live on it; they fall through the hole und kill themselves. Another good feature about the hole is that the money gets lots of fresh air. Of course with three or four dollars worth of Chinese money in your pocket the draft would be so bad that you’d probably get pneumonia. You'd have to board the money up in the winter time to keep from catching cold. But anyway, poor people don’t have to worry about the microbes on the United States greenbacks; they can't keep the money in their hands long enough to become infected.
