SCHOOL NOTES.

Glen Wlshard went to Lafayette last Friday to have his eyes examined by a specialist. Miss Harris was unable to meet her classes Thursday and Friday of last week and on Monday of this, on account of sickness. Rev. Hall t-poke to the High School Friday morning. He took as his sub ject “Labor.” He said that the tendency in modern life is for people to all go to “head,” which, were we cabbage, would be a laudable ambition; that work with one’s hands is belittled and despised. “How many of you girls,” said he, “could make your own clothes? How many of you could manage a house as a house-wife should? How many of you boys who would not put on a pair of gloves if you had a little work to do with your bands?” His plea was for the training alike of the hands, and that of the mind. The school is in receipt of a large picture, in antique oak frame, showing the buildings and bits of scenery about the campus of Indiana University. It was presented by the University. This picture is intended to create an added interest in the University it portrays. It may be seen in the High school building in the library.
