\-x*f WHAT OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLSARE DOING Supt. W. E. Peik, a university class mate of Supt. 'Brohaugh, visited our school on Thursday of last week. Mr. Peik is in charge of the schools at Faribault, Minn. The Central Parent Teacher Asso ciation held their regular meeting on Friday. A splendid musical program prepared under the direction of Miss Robbins, was presented. Miss Robbins also gave a fifth grade music class demonstration which clearly showed the fine work which has been done along music lines the past two years. In connection with the regular Ar bor Day programs, the grounds of the different schools were cleared of sticks and rubbish by the children. The improvement is very noticeable. New play ground apparatus has been received for the Garfield school. It consists of a set of three swings of the same type which was- installed at the Central school last year. The sup ports are all made of steel pipe which will be set in concrete, making them permanent. The apparatus was purch ased by the Parent Teacher Associa tion of the Gaxfield school and will be installed by Messrs. Bjornberg and Bergeson who did the work so well for us last year. Now that the warm weather is at hand a number of boys are playing truant. A few parents also are keep ing their children home to perform work such as washing windows, put ting on screens, and other tasks of a similar nature. The result is that these pupils have been falling behind in their work and are very likely to fail. Reviews are always given at the end of the school year and it is extremely important that every student be in school.^ Work of the nature mention ed above can be done after school and on Saturdays so that it is seldom nec essary for children to be absent from school. We ask the co-operation of parents in this matter. The Haggerty Intelligence Examin ation was given to all pupils of the Junior high school this week. These tests will also be given in other grades soon. Some splendid work is being done in the Normal Department with pen manship. Last year all of the Normal students received Palmer Method Dip lomas and it is the ambition of the present class to equal the standard set. Final examination papers will be finished in a short time. It is nothing short of astonishing to note the pro gress that some of the girls have made. When they entered the de partment last fall many of them wrote backhand or vertical, and others had a handwriting which was scarcely leg ible. The ladies of the local Civic Club have awarded prizes to school pupils for the best two essays on the sub ject, "The Book Which Inspired Me Most to Becime a Worthwhile Ameri can." The winner of the first prize is Myrtle Heimdahl, who will be pre sented with a five dollar bill, and the second prize was given to Wallace Johnson, who will receive two dollars. The winners read their essays to the members of the club on Tuesday of this week. A great deal of interest is being tak en in the essay c/mtest conducted by the W. C. T. U. The subject on which students are writing is "The Cigarette Evil." The' winners of this contest have not yet been selected. The date of our annual school ex hibit has been changed to Wednesday, May 17th, on account of conflicts with the date originally set. Preparations are busily going forward to make this one of the biggest and best exhibits ever held. The manual training de partment is working especially hard to make a good showing. Many people are under the impression that the ex hibits held here each year are of the same kind. This is incorrect. The ar ticles on' exhibit this year are of a nature never before shown in Will mar. Beautiful electric lamps of all kinds, different varieties of tables, chairs, rockers, nut bowls, candle sti cks, stools', and many smaller articles will be exhibited. The department au thorities are very anxious that every one in the city should visit them. Oth er departments in the school will also be well .represented. Regular classes will be in progress thruout the school, system and patrons are invited to vis it wherever they choose. The Central Parent Teacher Association will serve coffee in the General Science room. We hope that everyone will plan to spend some part of the day or evening with us.
