A Chance for River Falls .

We understand that the Episcopal
Church of this State is about to locate
"a military institution for the educa-
tion of boys and young men. La
Crosse and Menomonie have both been
mentioned. A bonus has been off cred
from one and one may be expected from
the other. River Falls however has
been looked upon as the most desirable
place by the authorities. Why not let
the towns adjacent to River Fal Is join
with this city and offer bonus. If
thereal estate owners and the business
men of our city understood the great
advantages of having schools in city
they would certainly be up and doing,
and make up their minds to have this
military academy here. When we
realize that nothing brings into city
outside money like boarding
school, and that the parents, guardians
and friends coming and going at
Commencement and other times,
help to put money into circula-
ton, besides advertising the city
when we realize these facts, then we
as city and county will begin to see
the advantages of making River Falls
an educational center, and invite such
institutions to locate in our midst.
Faribault, Mimi, is a fair sample of
what institutions have done for city.
There are six-three church and three
state. The military school alone
brings in a clear 100000 every year
of outside money. The school, or COL
lege, that is awaiting its location will,
we understand, accommodate $50
boarders. The faculty, numbering
about twelve, will consist of Chancel-
lor, President, Rector, Head Master,
Commandant detailed by the U. S.
Government Secretary, Surgeon and
Physician Zone of the city's local med
ical men), Professors, Instructors, Ma
iron, Curator, etc. Besides these
there will be Board of Visitors and
also Board of Trustees, under whose
management it will be.
What are we to do--let this oppor-
tunity slip through our fingers, or i'm.
prove it by decided actionl

High School Commeneement.

Opera Hall was filed to its utmost
capacity last Friday evening with an
appreciative assembly to greet the
four 'Sweet girl graduates of the
class of 80.
The stage was tastefully decorated
with a profusion of ferns aud plants
and beautiful flowers, the two SPLEEN
did flags of the High School festooned
high over the front of the stage.
The graduates were prettily attired
were self-possessed, easy and graceful,
delivered their parts distinctly and ac-
curately, and acquitted themselves ex.
cellently ID every respect, receiving
numerous bouquets and were greeted
with hearty congratulations. The
music was especially excellent, and
the whole programme met the enthu-
siastic approval of the vast audience.
The first OF the graduates to speak
was Miss Grace S. Wales, who had
chosen as her topic, Modern Ideals of
Culture. She began by showing how
modern culture differs from that of
ancient times, especially in the mat
ter of woman's education. The ideal
education for American girls and boys
was discussed. The conclusion was
devoted to an analysis OF Culture
under the three headings of mental
physical and religious educ ltion.
Miss Sadie E. Johnson followed
with an essay on "Our National Safe.
ty." The dangers threatening our
national life were enumerated and
remedies suggested for anarchy, the
education of youth in patriotism; for
intemperance, woman suffrage, home
Influences; for labor disturbances, in.
telligence. Encouraging circumstan-
ces were seen in our public school
system, free press and benevolent in
situations.
After music, Miss Jeanne Morrow
discoursed on ''Feudalism. The or.
igin and growth of feudalism were
fully discussed. It's history in Ger.
many, France and England was out.
lined, and its effect upon the people
set forth. The concluding portion
of the essay was devoted to the consid.
Grafton of the causes which led to the
downfall of the feudal system.
Miss Josie G. Johnson chose as her
subject, Beyond the Alps" The
life of Napoleon Bonapart was
sketched, and his energy and per.
severance, especially in crossing the
Alps, commented upon. Lessons were
drawn from his career as to the ad.
vantages of fixed purposes in life.
Following her essay Miss Johnson de.
livered the valedictory, in graceful
and pleasing manner. The presenta
tion of diplomas was performed by
Prin. r. B. Hazard in a few cOncisely
worded sentences, and after beauti-
fully rendered quartette the audience,
well.pleased, dispersed.
