Play Play is nature’s method of devel oping the nervous and muscular me chanisms that give control of the body. As children advance in age, they turn from the spontanneous friskings and gambolings of all young life, to gapies of co-operation involving intellectual and social ele ments. The mere joy of muscular exercise is forgotten in the effort to secure the object of the game. Imitation, emulation, rivalry,, the most persuasive human motives are enlisted. But games have moral values quite equal in importance to their physical values. Co-operation, courtesy, self-control, a spirit of fair ness are vital in well conducted 'games. Hence the modern school is provided with a spacious playground equipped with suitable apparatus; for it is recognized that air. sun light, companionship, and play are essential conditions of growth and development. In all ages, rhythmic exercises have appealed to the sons and daugh ters of men. That these activities are enjoyed is nature's testimony that they are normal and whole some, if carried on in moderation and with due regard to the pro prieties of life. They give smooth ness, grace, harmony to the car riage and movements of the bo^y. For girls they probably the best form of physical training. -David Felmley, III State Normal university. The application of the following to school affairs is self evident: “It ain't the guns nor the arma ments, nor the funds that they can pay. But the close co-operation that makes them win the day; It ain't the individual nor the army as a whole, B,ut the everlastin’ teamwork of every bloomin’ soul.” -—Kipling. The trials of first graders are many. The class was working at drawing one day and having a hard time at it. One lad did his over and over again. Finally the teacher came to him and seeing his eyes full of tears, said: "Well, Johnny, you got it at last, didn't you?” Johnny said, as he brushed away his tears, “Yes, but my eyes are sweating.” * IMPORTANT Notice to Parents All children who do not actually have whooping-cough may re-enter school next Monday, regardless of « slight colds and coughs with which they may be afflicted. Much time has already been lost from school work so we hope that all pupils concerned will avail themselves of Dr Chase's permission for them to return to school at once. My Patriotic Creed “I believe In my country and her destiny, In the great dream of her founders, In her place among the nations, In her ideals. I believe that her democracy must be protected, Her privilege cherished, Her freedom defended. I believe That, humbly before the Almighty, T3ut proudly before all mankind, We must safeguard her standard, The vision of her Washington, The martyrdom of her Lincoln, With the patriotic ardor Of the minutemen And the boys in blue Of her glorious past. I believe In loyalty to my country, Firm, unchanging, absolute. Thou, in whose sight, A -thousand years are but as yester day And as a watch in the night, Help me in my weakness To make r8al What I believe.” —The Liberty Reader.

We hope to hai'e some work good enough to display in some of the downtown store windows, and also to leave on the walls of the schoolrooms as permanent reminders of the cause in which they are produced. Thursday being Armistice Day, im promptu patriotic exercises were held in the various rooms. -1. PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE NEEDS MANY NURSES WASHINGTON, Nov. 13. — The United States public Health service needs hundreds of graduate nurses for its general hospital work but also and particularly for the care of former soldiers suffering from ifervous and mental disorders. So great is its need for the latter class that it is probable that at present enough trained nurses are not avail able in the country. The public health service accordingly purposes to establish a training school for nursing in neuro psychiatric dis eases in its special hospital (No. 49) on Grays Ferry road, near Phila relphia, whtjre nurses with general training may take a special course in this class of work. This hospital has a capacity of 240 patients and will afford exceptional opportuni ties for instruction in the most mod ern treatment. An appeal is made to nurses to come forward for this work; for if they do not do so there seems to be no one to take their place. The hospitals now operated by the Unit ed States public health service are already 150 nurses short; and the services faces the necessity of open ing several new ones with an inade quate force. Applications should be made to the surgeon general, U. S. public health service, Washington, D. C. For Fuller Sanitary brushes write Gene Glendenning, 102 Dietz Build ing, Bremerton, Wasfe.

A class hi manual training has been 'organized and its members are making their own work-benches. , The manual training boys in Ju neau have been busy on the con struction of two bungalows. They have made ironing boards for home use, and a blackboard for the third grade room. No comment on the value of such practical work is ne cessary Low Cost of Living We hear much om the high cost of living, but we overlook the fact that many of the best things of life can Be had for nothing. #lt costs nothing to stand up and walk and breathe properly. Fresh air in the home is free. It costs nothing to chew the food thoroughly. It costs nothing to clean the teeth twice a day. It costs nothing to have a cheer ful. happy disposition, and stop having grouches. Everyday toil brings everyday blessing. Mr. Henderson visited our school last Wednesday and said some very encouraging things about the spirit of the school and the good work be ing done in the different rooms. It was a matter of regret that his stay was so short, as we had hoped to be able to arrange for him to address the A'. T. A. meeting, as well as to spend a longer time in inspection of the school work. How ever, he plans Co spend more time with us on his return from the west ward, and it may be possible to arrange for a public meeting at that time. Correction does much but encour agement does more.

P. T. A- Meeting The regular meeting of parents and teachers occurred on the after noon of November 12, and was well attended. A most entertaining program of songs, recitations and folk dances was rendered by pupils of the school under the capable direction i of Miss Haggland, after which the members of the association held their regular business meeting, ad journing at 4:30. Every parent in Cordova owes it to himself, his child, the school and the community to become an active member of this organization.

If not now a member, plan to join very soon. A certain teacher in the tenement district was greatly surprised to see Toni’s brother so very dark, when he was so fair, so she said, “Why. his eyes are as black as coal.’’ The next morning she received the following: “Dear Madam: “The children told me yesterday at noon that you made remarks on one of them is just as black as coal if you thing that he is too dark for you to handle him I can send him to another school. WJhen that child was born he was just as white as any white people you ever saw, but that child has been fed on malted milk since he was three days old and got the color of the milk. If you would of been fed on the same milk you would be just as black,as he is. I am awful sorry that your a lady educated and making remarks like that Excuse me by doing that.—Mrs. M—.’’ In the reading lesson this sen tence gave some difficulty;: “To lit tle Tony the scene presented the beauty of Paradi3te.” The doubtful word seemed to be “Paradise” and the meaning was called for.
