The ninth grade has begun the study of imagination in narration. John Larsen, James Burke and Kath- rya Pint were visitors at school last week.

The subjects for composition for this week will relate to Arbor and Bird day. A test in physiology was given to the pupils of the eighth grade Tues­ day. The eighth grade recently finished the reading of "Enoch Arden" by Ten­ nyson. On Friday Mr. Nye showed us that his heart is in the right place by dis­ missing us at three o'clock. v As review work, the pupils of the eighth grade are drawing large maps of the United States and Illinois. The pupils of the seventh grade have begun the study of compound propor­ tion, which means trials and tribula­ tions for all concerned. Owing to a quarrel between the hands on the dial and the engineering department, the clock in room four has refused to run until further orders. Emily Weber, Louise Engeln, Leona Justen, Inez Shepardson, Helen Fisher, Isabelle Bishop and John Huemauu were visitors in room four this week. The eighth grade arithmetic class began the study of mensuration this week. One little chap in the class says he might be able to state the num­ ber of gallons of water in the stand- pi pe if he studies arithmetic Ion;; enough. This would be a practical problem indeed. ORDER8 KEEP ON CONING. Dr. Geo. A. Thompson of Chicago visited the local boat factory the first of the week and placed an order for a twenty-two foot racer, to be driven by a twelve horse power motor. The boat will be used on Fox lake. On Thurs­ day of last week Dr. J. W. E. Eyster of the University of Wisconsin, located at Madison, left an order at the factory for an eighteen-foot launch to be used at Madison. On Saturday last an order was taken from Richard W. Chapman of Chicago for an eighteen-foot launch to be used on Fox lake. The Plain- dealer is pleased to learn that the orders keep on coming and hopes that there will be no let-up. NOTICE.
