When we consider the fact that
the month embraced the Christ-

one of which the teachers and

We take the authority in the
name of the teachers to ask every
patron and others who o.w
interested in the cause of
education to visit the school be-
fore the term ends. The work
of our teachers is open to inspec-
tion, and your presence would
bean inspiration to them. Wo
wish to say in this connection-
that the Chronide is for the
cause of education, as that is the
basis of our growth and recogni-
tion in the world. We hope thst
all who have anything to say on
this grand cause will feel a per-
fect freedom in using our paper
for that purpose.
Apfon Party at Coppell.
Quite a unique party was giv-
en at the home of Mr. Joe Crow
Monday night. “It was tern • d
an “apron party.” The gir s
each furnished an unhemmed
apron and a necktie of the
material. The neckties were put
into envelopes and drawn by the
boys. Each boy had to hem the
apron that matched his tie and
the girl had to tie his tie. It was
a comical sight to see the boys
down on their knees, each one
stitching away as if for dear life.
A cake was awarded to the one
who did the neatest work. 1 he
contest resulted in a tie between
John Houell, who hemmed the
rprt.n of Mrs. Pearl Mcore, and
V»alter M<f»re, who hen.mod tlie
apron oi Miss f’earl Stringiell >w.
