A hotly contested game of Bean-bag was played
at the gym during the session. Capt Lightfoot cham--
pioned the cause of one side while Capt. Able led the
opposing side.For a time the game was so close that
the result hung in the balance; but the first named
captain, living up to his cognomen, rallied his
forces and amid the cheers of the onlookers beat
his opponent to it by two laps, the latter not
being Able to pick up the bags expeditiously enough
to lead his side to victory.

July 9
Assembly (Third week)

During the week Mr. Lightfoot gave the second
of a series of talks on school law and the status
of the teacher in the law.

He emphasized the necessity for a thorough
knowledge on the part of the teacher, of the school
law of the state in which she is engaged in
teaching so that she may sustain legally any
decision she may make in discipline and in
school management in general. He further gave
summaries of questions of school discipline and
school management which have been brought
before courts which serve to prove that in the eyes of
the law, at least, the authority of the teacher is strictly
confined within certain limits dependent upon the
statute laws of the state and the community in which
she lives.
