Sadie Risley of the sixth grade and Kenneth Risley of the first grade have moved to Woodstock. t We are now started on our last month's work, which will include a review of the year's work. We have only a few more weeks of school, but we expect to finish all we have anticipated during the year. A new definition of the staff in music has been given. When a teacher asked a pupil what a staff was he an­ swered that it was a cane. We have two new pupils from the DeKalb normal primary school. They are Mary and Alex Anderson, whose parents have recently moved here. The first grade pupils are advancing rapidlv in their reading and are now interested in the "Brownie Book," a purchase from our social last fall. The recess periods have now been lengthened to fifteen minutes, so that school closes at 4 o'clock, except on Fridays, when it is dismissed at 3:30. Many of the children have brought in plants from the woods which will soon be in bloom. A great interest has been awakened in the coining of birds and flowers this spring. The Dorr township exercises will be held here in Ridgefield on May 31. The Ridgefield eighth graders are: Eva Letaler, Helen Carlson, Edith Nel­ son, Emma Weiland, Emma Freeland. The sixth grade is learning the dif­ ferent uses of per centage in arithme­ tic, while the seventh has worked on taxes and insurance. The eigth grade is reviewing the work of the last four years. Some afternoon of this week the school expects to take a visit to the woods to gather flowers and see if they can discover some new things that spring has brought in the shape of birds and insects. A lively contest has been going on for the last three months between the members of the fifth grade as to who should be first in arithmetic. Two girls always tied. At our last month's examination, however, Edith Letsler received the higher grade. The seventh and eighth grades are studying Dickens' "Tale of Two Cities" and have reached the point where Evremonde reaches Paris as the French revolution is at its height. The fifth and sixth grades are reading of the adventures of Hiawatha, the Indian boy. amowooD. Sunday, May 12, is Mothers' day. Warren Foss was buying goods in the city Tuesday.

It permits of alterations and changes, even after a house has been standing for years, and by painting, its entire appear­ ance can be changed to conform with surroundings. The lumber we handle these days is carefully- manufactured from virgin tim­ ber, perfectly dried and of full thickness.
