SCHOOL NOTES.

Misses Harris and Keith spent Saturday and Sunday in Chicago? Dessa Cowden went to Logansport Saturday to visit her father for a few days. Mr. F. A. Cotton, of Indianapolis, candidate for state superintendent, was in the city last Friday. Of course he talked to the high school. His message may be summed up in a saying of Booker T. Washington: “He who does a common thing in an uncommon way will soon come to the front.” Representatives from the high schools of Remington, Fowler, Goodland, Monticello and Rensselaer met at Monticello last Saturday to make arrangements for a high school athletic and oratorical league Mr. Hiatt and Glen. Wishard represented the Rensselaer high school. It was definitely decided to have a meet, probably at Monticello. On the evening of the athletic meet, there will be a musical and oratorical contest. With a meet, a certainty, the boys realize the necessity of getting down to work, and so are using all their spare time training for the various events. The date for the High school entertainment has been set for April 11th. The best talent in the school has been secured and an excellent entertainment is assured.
