During the week-end over that rainy Saturday and that nice Sunday anit .:\1onday there ·has just been some llttl~=> piece of mischief done. Somebody ha~ made a habit of throwing house bricks through the skylight of Howard school and I myself think that the new Howard school addition which is coming along just fine furnishes a very nice brick pile for them to gather up quite an armful and toss them at the glass in the skylight. Well, Tuesday morning we came to school and as the teachers had a meeting at La Grange on Monday we did not have school. When we saw the door open we beheld quite a lot of broken glass all over the floor so right away everybody looked for broken window~ of any description and the skylight happened to be righ, over my desk and the brick lit on my desk and there it lay · peacefully with a dent in my desk half an inch deep and a crack right acros!': the top of it all the way around so that it can break right in half.
