'• :• •••' j "* }' The'eard party under the anspices of the young ladies1 society is "coming off" next Sunday. The zero wjeatljer was too much for their little toes, but they are dead sure of a good night next Sunday. Their daiuty lunch and beverage are a secret they will not re­ veal. Are you afraid of a few flurries of suow? Tip your hats to the young ladies next Sunday evening. Another new stove was set up by Trustee Jungen in our school, which makes the second purchase of thts kind this winter. Nothing drives the school treasury so much as the stove and coal bills, for many dollars1 wor£h of coal and iron are eaten up/ every winter. Of course a great quantity of coal goes on the ash pile (children do the iiring) and Mr. Jungen pays for it like a good l>apa. Instead of throwing so much money into stoves, eoal and heaps of coal and ash piles, and getting so little for it, why in the deuce can't we have a central plant the way other schools have itV Put the dirt and lire in one place and you've got something on the •quare. The "kids" will do ten times more Work in a school with even heat •round them. In three winters a cen­ tral plant wosld almost pay for itself.
