The custom of decorating houses and churches with holly at Christmas is probably derived from the Romans, who were wont to send boughs to their friends during the festival of Saturnalia, which occured about the same period; and oaks then being bar of leaves, the priests allowed the people to bring in boughs of holly and evergreen.

Some teachers admit by the marks they give that they are nothing but B grade teachers. If a teacher is working with a hundred or more students and is such a poor teacher that she can not inspire at least 1 or 2 of these to do A grade work, then she is admitting to nothing but her own failure as a teacher. I have been acquainted with such great teachers that they have been able to inspire A grade work from almost 12 of their students. These are the grade A teachers. A great teacher is an inspiration to do your best. If one is doing his best then he is doing A work. . . and Mrs. Keith Bona, all of Benjamin; Mr. and Mrs. Bert Wyler, Spanish Fork; Mr. and Mrs. Don Curtis, Springville; June Balzly, Salt LakeCity; in addition to guests of the family, A.
