This seems a small matter, but it means .the life or death of many of our soldiers. A. E. Winship, of Boston, says: "Truant and parents who allow their children to stay out of school face the charge of being slackers." In the last City School News published in this paper it was shown that an education is worth to the average boy or girl $24,000 or about $12 for each day tho pupil attends school. And yet, several cases of absence -have been reported since that time for excuses that would not have kept the child away from a job if he had been earning wages. There are still many people who have not the slight est idea of the value of school or of the harm they do the child when they keep him out of school for just a day or so. Our aim is that each day our school shall do just a little better work and do it just a little more cheerfully than it did the day before. There is unusual " harmony in the faculty, in tho cchool board, and among the pupils. Report cards for all pupils will be Bent out each quarter of the school term. Letters are sent parents each month in tho case of a pupil doing poor work. Begin now to prepare for next summer's garden. In future years it will be a source of satisfaction to the child to recall that he helped to produce food for the army that put an end to all war. Buy more bonds. O. E. McGEE, Supt.

Mr. Whitcsell stated that the aviator was doing remark ably well after his remarkable es cape from death. He was drilling with his cquad and they were flying in a V-shapo at a height of 2,500 feet, when the aviator at his side, either accidentally or without pres ence of mind, broke rank and struck his machine, disabling the latter and causing Aviator Whitesell to drop. He descended like a dead weight one thousand feet or thereabouts before he could get his machine righted and then he checked the velocity of the descent by turning it in a spiral course. As he was reaching the ground he changed the position of the machine side up and dropped it on one of the wings, thus, in miraculously skillful way, . saving himself from death. Of course he was stunned, and when released it was found that his left Jaw and nose were broken and on the right side of his face.a very ugly scar was made. It was a rare case of cool, calm Judgment, and certain death if he had failed to take advantage of pos sibilities left to a damaged machine, an instance of one in a thousand sav ing himself. The wounded man was taken to tho hospital and placed in the best of surgical care and nursing. The bones of the Jaw were reset and wrapped with wire and his nose and face were dressed, and while he will have a scar or two the surgeon as sured Mr. Whitesell that the traces of the fall will coon bo nearly re moved.
