Public School Note.

On Wednesday morning Mrs. Frank Meyer gave a very interesting talk to the fifth grade about. New Orleans and its vicinity. She spoke, especially, of the home life of the people there and of the Mardi Gras, illustrating her talk with blackboard drawings and pictures. Mr. F. M. Chtlcote, President of the School Board spent the entire day Wednesday visiting the public schools and getting acquainted with the teachers. Being unable to reach all the rooms in one day he has promised to return. We hope he will neither forget nor neglect his promise, and that he may be able to induce the other members of the board to follow his example. ■> Mr. Chilcote spoke last Wednesday morning to the high school. The subject of his talk was the State Constitution of Indiana. He went over a few of the first sections of the Bill of Rights and showed how plainly and fully all the rights and liberties of the people were defined. Thursday morning Miss Perrin sang a solo for the benefit of the high school. One or two visitors were present.
