PERT PARAGRAPHS FROM
KNOWLEDGE HILL
The last six weeks exams are
over, but we are still in suspense
especially the seniors, as the
teachers have not finished decor-
ating the papers with red ink.
Wo students wish they were not
quite so patriotic. We are sat-
isfied with our papers being just
plain blue and white, but these
teachers—they just have to add
the red 'in profusion. Well, any-
way ‘‘if’’ the seniors had plenty
of rabbits’ feet, they won’t have
any more of this kind. Can’t say
they’re too happy about it though.

Elvin McMfllan was just too cute.
The boys all fell for him. Mr.

AAA Boosts Wheat Income
Personals
The U. S. Department of Agriculture says that American farmers
who cooperated in the 1940 AAA program received a net return of
nearly 80 cents a bushel for their wheat. Compared with a probable
return of 40 centa a bushel or less had they been dependent entirely
upon the world market. The national farm program aids wheat growers
with crop loans, parity and conservation payments, crop insurance, and
an export program.

Forestburg School Receives
Additional Credit's
Supt. W. J. Miller has just re-
ceived a notice from Austin stat-
ing that the Forestburg school
had been granted two and one-
half additional credits, as follows:
one in Junior Business Training
and one-half additional credit in
Civics making it a full unit in-
stead of one-half. These /two
subjects are taught by I. B.-4Vil,-i
Hams, principal of the school,
one-half unit in Safety Education
and one-half in Occupational
Guidance taught by Mrs. Lulu B.
Lee. This gives Forestburg sev-
enteen and one-half affiliated
credits as fifteen were obtained
last year. Two more credits—
one in Homemaking II and one in
Homemaking fo rlxiys is expected
to be granted as soon as the
Homemaking supervisor visits
the school. Below is an excerpt
from the letter of Air. Griggs to
Mr. O’Banion.
"The teachers of the Forest-
burg School have as their philos-
ophy that the school is dedicated
to the students and the commun-
ity. Students are give an oppor

py time hunting Easter eggs, Fri I held in the gymnasium.
“The Forestburg School serves
this entire portion of Montague
County as a receiving school. The
school is attempting to meet the
needs of these students. Espec-
ially did we observe good work
being done in English, the Social
Sciences, and in Homemaking.
“We wish to commend the
board and the administration of
the school for the thought given
the hot lunch program for the
school next year. We believe that
this will add much to the promo-
tion of health in the school and
service to the community. We
commend the improvements made
in the auditorium sta^e equipment
and also the Homemaking De-
partment of the school.
“We believe that the people in
this section of the county may be
justly proud of the progress be-
ing made in the
School.
Signed) Joseph R. Griggs
Supervisor of District No. 1.”
