CITY SCHOOL NEWS.
The schools will open as soon as
physicians think it safe. This may
be Monday, October 21, or it may be
later. A notice will be placed in the
post office a few days before.
The Government is urging us to
save all nut shells and fruit pits
from which to manufacture carbon
for gas masks. Collections will be
made at school and other public
places. Be faithful. 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.

FeU 2,500 Feet. ,
R. P. Whitcsell returned last Sat
urday from Fort Worth, Texas, after
a visit to his son, Sgt. Hunter White
sell, who i3 in the aviation section
of U. S. Army at Carruthers Field,
Fort Worth. 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. The friends In Union City
tender kindest greetings to Sergeant
Whitesell.
