The people of Holton may look for sonse-tning good In the school entertainments are prepanug for. A nurabr of splendid pieces ar in practice or the two school entertainments that will be held in four or five weeks. There ought to be whole bloci devoted to play ground for the school. Fhysical exereis is just as necessary as mental. The grades of the senior class are now be-ins made and each will soon know the figures that will be placed on his certificate ot eradoa-tion.

Let more of the parents and patrens th public school yisit us. The forenoon is the best time to call and see the little men and women at their work. The public school cannot cultivate the pupils and let the dull ones go, but all must be given the elements of an education that they may become better citizens. The school work Is harder at th close of the year and requires more of the time and attention of the pupils, and parents should not put too many outside burdens on their children. By the number of new houses zIng up hv town I would judge that new school building hould be erected this summer.

Why not call a-special meeting and build it now, that it could be in order for use by next September?
