THEO DORSET,  EDITOR.
The third grade had a short Thanksgiving program "Wednesday.
Carl White of the third grade put
some very nice drawings on tbe board
in honor of Thanksgiving.
The seventh grade are enioying
very much the study of the camel.
The sixth grade have done excellent
work in the writting of compositions
from the Pilgrim .pictures, taken from
the landing of the Mayflower.
The report cards for the third school
month were out Wednesday.
On the authority of President Angel of the University of Michigan,
there is in Michigan one college student for every 738 of our population.
Thursday aud Friday are Thanksgiving holidays. We take Friday to
make up for Labor Day (a legal holiday).
Some of the high school people need
a megaphone to be heard when they
recite.
In response to an appeal made to
the pupils of the first six grades by a
lady representing the home for the orphans at St. Joseph, 108 packages containing sums varying from one cent to
ten cents have been forwarded to the
institution.
The following is the superintendent's report of the general condition
of the the school for the the month
ending November 22: Total enrollment for year, boys, 228; girls, 193;
present actual attendance boys, 193;
girls, 168', per cent of attendance boys,
90i; girls, 93; cases of tardiness girls,
14; boys, 34. In general it is found
that the average work done by the
pupil from country and by the pupil
living in the district but outside city
limits is better than that done by him
who spends hours daily on the street
corner. It is becoming a question,
what shall be done with the boy who
comes to •school prevaded with.the
odor of tobacco though* haying nothing
to do, with it during bchool hours, so
that pupils complain that they cannot
endure sittlne near such boys. Many
children are sadly in the need of good
reading, matter for their evening
hours. Many pupils read nothing but
just the little bit daily doled out to
them in  their   readers.     Ohlldretj

Must Pay Taxes.
The Mackinaw Transportation Company has decided to change its headquarters in the near future from Detroit to either Mackinaw City or St.
Ignace. The State Tax Commission
has placed the two big ferries, the
Saint Marie and St. Ignace, on the
assessment rolls at 8300,000, and the
company has decided to pay its taxes
at one of the points Where the boats
are doing business. This is as it
should be, and the matter should not
be optional but the law should compel
vessel owners to pay their taxes at one
of the points between which lthey ply
their boats and from which they derive*
their revenue. It would be just as
sensible and no more unjust to allow
non- resident owners of stocks of merchandise to pay tax On them at their
homes and escape taxation at the
stores where they are sold as It Is for
vessel owners to do so. Io is doubtful,
however, whether this Transportation
Company has decided to take this
course out of regard for the Interest of
either Mackinaw City or St, Ignace,
but rather because it will be cheaper,

ETIQUET OF Gl FT-GI VIN.G.
Some of the Points to be Remembered    in    the     Giving   and
Receiving of Presents.
There is an etiquette1 governing the
giving and receiving of presents, as
there is about most things, because
there is always a best way to do everything. If we penetrate below the
surface of the little courteous conventions we shall find that consideration
for the feelings of others underlies all.
Do not-try to make your gift look as
though it cost more bhan j'qu paid for
it. Aside from tbe paltry spirit of
such giving it is a delusion and a
snare, for next year your offering must
seem to be as fine as the one of- this
season, or you may appear to have
"been less anxious to please your friend.
The best gifts are those which put no
tax upon material resources, but trifles
of which the recipient may make frequent use, and so keep the giver in
mind. Take the time to write a few
words of loving Or cordial greeting oh
the cards that- accompany your gifts.
Without that evidence of individual,
personal thought the offering of even
the finest present appears somewhat;
graceless and perfunctory. . A message
on a card is better than a note, because
more informal, and one should not
seem to make much of a g|ft'.* Having
your presents dalncily wrapped is hot
less a matter of courtesy. Let their
outward appear-ftsee' v'pmmend. them.
Leave thRin or sentHhem to their
destination the day before Christinas—
unless/you can insure their reception
early in the day. A tardy gift appears*
like an afterthought.—December.
