Night School doses
The local uifbt school hM iuat
closed for the winter term. The
Spanish -■—« oloaed Its work ear
lier In the year, but the commer
cial students hare extended the
usual term well Into the spring
in out hi.
The following person* wore en
rolled for night school commercial
work: Ethel Leigh, shorthand; Al
va Carrico, shorthand; Agnes Thom
as, shorthand and typewriting;
Harry O’Kane, shorthand; Mrs.
Minnie Utter, typewriting; Jesse
Leasuxe, shorthand: Cora Bellin
ger, shorthand and typewriting;
John Maasar, shorthand; Harry Hig«
bee, shorthand and Lawrenoa Yock
ey, shorthand. The students have
made good progress under the in
struction of Mias Nellie Corning,
the commercial te&oher.
The high school tennis associa.
Hon is preparing lor spring prac
tice. 'Two fine courts have ueen
provided and adequate backstops
aro being erected. This not only
provides the opportunity for piay
iug a good heaiihiul game, hut it
oeauuiles the high school grounds
as well. On the Lincoln school
grounds a line set of basket ball
goals were erected last week. This
with their soccer goals and excel
lent playground# equipment make
the Lincoln play rounds the best in

studies.
The Progress Boom recently or
ganized in the Lamar schools start
ed out with an enrollment of thirty
eeveu pupils. This was later In
creased to £orty.flve. The enroll
ment included pupils of all ages
troiu eight years to sixteen years.
Most of these pupils were from two
to four years behind that normal
grade corresponding to their age.
t' ive wer# five years behind, one
was six, and two were seven years
behind. The immediate eeffect of
enrollment in the Progress School
(or an hour or two each day to
receive personal help In whatever
branch of study appeared to be
most difficult tor them, was to en
courage them to work and to in
spire new interest in their studies,
both in the Progress Boom and in
the regular school. Am a result,
moat of these pupils have been
promoted and a majority of them
are doing good work in advanced
classes. These promotions open
the way for other student# tq en
ter the Progress Boom and to have
the same opportunity. ▲ new list
is being prepared and the new en
rollment will be made next Mon
day. It will be Impossible to grant
all applications made, either by
parents or by teachers as the re
quests for enrollment far exceed
our facilities for carrying on the
work, but all applications will be
considered and enrollment will be
made of those pupils whose need
seems to be most urgent at this
time.
The shorthand class in the high
school is now able to take dictation
at the rate of 70 to 100 words per
minute and to transcribe the same
in good form. Students are avail
able (or actual offloe work at cer
tain hours each day at the rate of
20 cents per hour. The school does
not wish to enter this practice In
any sort of competition that will
be harmful to established steno
graphers. Our students need the
actual office practice and can give
a good account of themselves in
any office, either in bookkeeping,
or in the stenographer's work, but
have no desire to interfere in any
way with work that the regular
stenographer ehould receive. For
special work call the high school.

Herculaneum and Pompell
the twin cities of mournful destiny
wen both engulfed at the same time
, —August, 7t A. D. The reason why
. Herculaneum has not been excavated
to the same extent as Pompeii Is ov.
lag to the feet that It was covered
with a much harder material than was
Pompeii; the dust predominating in
Pompeii, while the lava prevailed over
Herculaneum. There la not much
doubt about tha eventual opening np
j of both cities. Human curiosity, to
gether with the demands of history
and science, will not rest until Her

secrets. It le unlikely, however, that
there will be much new knowledge
