THEY WHITTLE THEIR DESKS.

Boys With Knives Have Defaced
3,000 in Public Schools.

Even in these days of scientific school discipline the boy with the jack knife is still active, and as a consequence the shool board last night instructed the secretary to ask for bids for 3,000 new desks to replace the old ones which have been defaced by the enthusiastic small boy with his new Christmas knife.

Bids for teachers' tables, chairs and stools will be asked at the same time.
