The seventfl and eighth grades have made a successive study of Asia during the last month and are now turning to the dark continent of Africa. There are forty pupils enrolled now. Twenty-eight are in the upper grades twenty-two boys and six girls--while twelve pupils are in the lower grades. The eighth graders are to take up the study of Scott's "Lady of the Lake while the fifth and sixth grades are to read the "Pilgrim Legend of Miles Standish." In the primary room the pupils have been keeping watch of the various trees as the leaves turned colors and many interesting fall changes have been noted. Much drawing in ink has been done this month. The sketches include "A goene at Sea," "Night Seeae," winter landscape, Pilgrims, and a witch and her broomstick.

We would also like to have them see the new organ which we bought with our half of the social money and which we hope to be using the latter part of the week. This month has been a busy one in arithmetic. The eighth grade is ham­ mering away at plastering, carpeting, brokerage, measurements of circles, triangles and parallelograms. The sev­ enth grade has been in touch with interest, profit and loss, promissory notes and commission, while the sixth graders are pegging away at decimals and common fractions. The fifth are doing light fraction work. WALKTTP SCHOOL, DIST. NO. 77. Report of second month. The attendance has been quite reg­ ular, though not as good as last month.

The open season for prairie chickens is November 12-17, instead of Novem­ ber 10-17. as has been reported and generally understood. Keep this fact in mind and pass the won) along to any of your friends who expect t® try their luck during the six days of the open season of prairie chickens.
