The teachers have decided to j School will continue and the
continue although at a sacrifice j work outlined will be followed
for the following reasons: nnt
It is impossible to complete the
work outlined without an eight
months’ term.
No promotions can be conscien-
tiously made until said work is
completed.
No graduations or transfers
from one department to another
can be had.
Since the last month of anv
school is worth two or three of
any other months in the way of
reviews, drills and a general
rounding up of work;
It would work untold hardships
on the school and the pupil in
particular to lose this month.
No promotion now would mean
no promotion until middle of next
terto.
Now we ask on behalf of every
child under our care that you be-
gin now to arrange for its tuition
which must of course be paid in
advance.
Don’t say you can’t, thought
fully say you must in your own
and the child’s interest.
Pupils in first four grades will
be charged $1.50, those in fifth,
sixth and seventh grades will be
I out.
Were you pleased with the re-
ports of your boys and girls last
month? If so, tell them, if not,
kindly encourage them to do bet-
ter this month.
The remaining part of the
school is always the most impor-
tant so let this be the time when
■we are to manifest our greatest
interest and put forward our best
energies.
Very Respectfully,
C. L. Sone, Supt.
A Mail Order Deal
Down in Oklahoma the other
day a man went into a store to
buy a saw. He saw the kind be
wanted and asked the price. It
was $1.65. the dealer said.
“Good gracious!” said the man.
“I can get the same thing from;
Sears, Roebuck & Co. for $1.35.’’
“That’s less than it cost me,”
said the dealer, “but I’ll sell it do
the same terms as the mail order
house just the same.”
“All right,” said thecustojwir.
\ ou can send it alongand charge
it to my account.” -dT
“Not on your life,” the dealer
replied. “No charge accounts.
You can’t do business with the
mail order house that way. Fork
over the cash.”
-The customer complied.

Whereupon the dealer hung
the saw on a peg* and put the
money in his cash drawer.
“That makes $1.67,” he said.
“It has cost you 2 cents more
and taken you two week* krage
to get it than if you had paid m
