Show Among the Schools. One of the teacheis in the Penson school lecently told her childien to Imagine themselves any animal and then to vviite a little story. She allowed al-lowed them fifteen minutes and for childien of the fomth grade some showed remaikable cleverness. Here Isonefiom a little girl: "lam a cat. My name Is Fanny. 1 kill the Kits and the mice, I like to drink milk. 1 like bhds to cat. 1 have. soft fur. When peoole pet me the wiong way 1 let out sparks. When children have stiings I love to play with It. When mean bojs set their dogs at me I get mad and giovvl and make a thick tall. My ees aie veiy bright." Susn: Jr.itKiN. A certain prominent educator of the clt has a son in this school. This son wiotcas follows: "1 am a louse. My father died and my mother and all of my slsteis. 1 was the only ono that lived, llefore they died we lived In a little gill's head. When they had died 1 did not like to llvo there so I made up my mind to move then T traveled for a longwajs. Then I came to a boj's head and had a lot of babes. This boy's name I found out ono day after, his name was Joseph James. Soon after when I got settled the lxiy got sick and they had to get the doctor. He put some medicine on his head that killed all of us and 1 died." Joiinmi: Joni:s. ThcA.C U has a lcglstiatloh at piesent that Is far ahead of tho legls-tiat legls-tiat Ion In November last veai. Tho same Is tine of the P. Y. C. This is ceitalnly giatlfjing to the heads of these Institutions, and It should be noiie the lessso to the cut lie citizenship citizen-ship of Logan and Cache county. It Is a condition that shows the valley Ulm ilioroallvo than ever to tho val- ue of educational advantages, and that the awakened Interest Is of a substantial nature. When It Is considered con-sidered that each student at cither of these Institutions spends In Logan an avciagc of $200 during the school year, this unpiccedentcd growth In mini- bcis should be and no doubt Is a scource of gratification to the business men of the city. An cniolhiicnt of 1000 means the expcndltuic of $200,000 ajt'iH", this Is distributed lather equally among tho different business houses. If the business men were alive to their oppoitunltles they would be making every effort Uo aid these schools In securing a linger scholarship. scholar-ship. They would see that there weie plenty of good places wheic the students could room and boaid, and would oiler every other reasonable Inducement for students to come licit lather than go to Salt LakeorProvo. These schools are all that Logan has that Is worthy of mention and should be accoided every help possible. Moic scholais and more professors means more money for Logan business men and gieater than that, It means that the valley Is working up to a higher Intellectual plane. At the New Jersey Academy last Friday evening Miss Kate S. Smith, pieceptress, was the victim of a surprise sur-prise party, carefully at ranged and successfully can led out to a happy tciminatlon by the gill students of the school, and even at this time Miss Smith has baldly recovcied siilllclcnt-1 siilllclcnt-1 to know Just wheie. she's "at." The ?. girls had Issued invitations to the va- : rlous teacheis and a veiy few friends, who gatheicd at the Academy at a eight o'clock Fi Iday ev ening and, w bile the unsuspecting v Ictim w as being en-tci en-tci tallied In an upstairs loom by fi lends who weie In the plot, slipped Into Miss Smith's parlor and there quietly awaited her appearance. A few minutes min-utes later Miss Smith, wholly unsuspicious, unsus-picious, came bustling Into the loom and then w llted. She was completely surpiised and piomptly went through all the expicsslons anil gyiatlons usual on such occasions. She had haidly lecoveied fiom the Hist shock when Miss Martha liergcrner stepped foi-ward foi-ward and In a few well chosen words piesentcd her with a beautiful opal ring as a token of the honor and esteem es-teem In which she Is held by the stu-cnts stu-cnts and then the victim's collapse was complete. Hut there was moie even jet, for after a season of pleasant conveisatlon the victim and guests were Invited to the spacious dining loom to pai take of ice cicam and cake. After pinning on a pansy favor, one of which was at each plate, Miss Smith cxpiesscd herself as being as happy as she ever was In her life, and j later In the evening In an oveillow of j spliits she insisted that In twelve oi j fifteen jeais of such woik as Is heisat I piesent, she had never had such pleas- J ant students to cue for, such excellent excel-lent teacheis to llvo with nor such altogether satlsfactoiy suiiouhdlngs as Is her position In the New Jeisey Academy. The evening was thor-oughlj thor-oughlj enjojed by eveijone, especially by the girls who planned and carried out the surprise. Those piesent weie as follows: Mis. I. N. Smith, . Mrs. N. E. Clcmenson, Mis. Stover, , MlssesSmlth, DeGratI, Haymond, Jen- . sen, Peed, Elliott, Casslday, Giacc Ficdickson, Gertrudo Koons, llael Davis, Murtlia Hergeincr, Claire Snyder, Sny-der, Amanda Herg, Christine Larson, Edna Caldwell, Chloc Harris, Grace Straight, Sldonla Ferguson, Murgaret Jensen, Myitle West, Sylvestlno West, Anna Moench, and Messrs. N. E. Clcmenson, 11. L. Hell and N. It. Moore. AVhilc standing In the Postofllco Sunday Sun-day we heaid two girls aged about twelve or fouitcon discussing the merits of their respective teachers, and the pait that Inteicsted us was a eulogy of Mrs. Kerr, principal at tho Ilenson, by the one with unburn tresses. "1 think she Is one of tho best teacheis In -town, and 1 Just love hci, so much that I could go to school toher on Sunday," quoth this maiden, and piocceded to go Into such ccsta-eles ccsta-eles as gills of this age can. It gives us pleasuic to clnonlclc this little Incident, In-cident, for we too have occasion to believe that Mi's Keir Is as delightful a woman as one would caro to meet. Dining Julj sho chapeioned a crowd of these awful Gentiles on. a two weeks camping expedition at Hear Lake, and we all without exception fell in love with her admirable qualities. quali-ties. Personally, we have little doubt of her success as a principal and instructor, in-structor, and believe that her auburn haired pupil has a discernment that Is a credit to her. The other day one of our teachers assigned "Breathing" to a certain fourteen year old scholar as it subject for an essay and the following was the result: "Breath Is made of air. AVe breathe with our lungs, our lights, liver and kldnejs. If It wasn't for our breath wo would die when we sleep. Our breath keeps the life a going thiough our nose while asleep. Bojs that stay In a loom all day should not breathe, they should wait until they get out of doois. Glils kill the bicath with onsets on-sets ulid squeee the didgiam. Girls can't holler or urn like bojs becauso Uielr diagiam is squeezed too much, j If I was a gill I would latherbe a boy, I so lean holler and rim and have a gieat big diagram." The Beaccn Light club was oigan-led oigan-led at tho B, Y. Tuesday afternoon by a number, of Logan ladles. Prof. Vernon addressed tho meeting on "An Intioduction to the Age of Tennis," Ten-nis," and Mrs. Jane Thatcher enter- rvcl". tallied tho gathering with a vocal sc- (yf lection.
