Educational Column Details School Clerk and Local Notes
A December school roundup lists students with attendance and achievements at Badger School No. 4 and a Bernice Cometock entry.

The piece shifts to a humorous courthouse anecdote about a young lawyer and a light discussion of American colloquialisms yep and nope versus yes and no.
