THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.


Monday morning "Old Glory was
unfurled on the east ward school build
ing, and at nine O'Clock the wheels of
that institution, which is our proudest
boast, were set in motion without jar or
friction, and the fall term of McCook' 8
public schools were duly opened under
most favorable auspices
The opening exercises in the assembly
room, east ward, were attended by a
brief program, commencing with Sc
lection from the orchestra. Supt Val
entine then spoke briefly, appropriately,
and introduced Rev. Hart L. Preston.
His remarks were intended to inspire
the children to their best efforts that
they might achieve goodly measure of
knowledge and success during the ensu-
ing school year. Supt. Valentine then
gracefully turned to account the fact that
the board of education mad prescribed a
general dose of vaccination to the pupils,
stating that he hoped to vaccinate some
pupils at least against certain diseases
which he would mention in due time.
After another selection by the orchestra,
the pupils repaired to their respective
rooms and entered upon the regular
work of the term, which there is every
reason to expect will be one of profit,
advancement and success.
The tenth grade is very large this term.
The school motto is: "Mind your own
business"
Sadie Gibbon and Eunice, Goheen are
new members of the 18th grade
The ball game, Saturday afternoon,
resulted in favor of the school boys in a
score of II to II.
Miss Lillian Troth of the class of ga
will likely take special course of music
in the Nebraska University, this winter.
Prof. Joseph Reizenstein will have the
school orchestra under his dictatorship
this year. Continued and marked i'm
provement and progress is assured.
Of the twelve teachers on the present
corps, six are graduates of our high
school. So it will be seen that McCoolS
does not discredit her own graduates.
For his services in helping prepare an
index to the Magazines, John Cordeal
has been made an honorary member of
the school and granted all privileges of
the library, which will be open on next
Monday.
A new and popular department has
been added this term-the athletic fea-
ture. Willie McManigal has been placed
at the head of this department by the
superintendent. The base ball team has
already acquired modicum of glory in
defeating the railroad boys, last Saturday
afternoon.
