nature OF things, be worth while for
the state to erect costly plants for the
sake OF employing them under one or
another system oflabor. No one can
argue with reason that the short term
prisoner himself is to be particularly
benefited by any such employment.
The chief point to be insisted upon is
that his labor shall not be debasing.
If he can be employed in making
blankets, furniture, coarse boots and
shoes and the infinite variety of
things tnat may be needed in the
state institutions without the intro
ductlon of power machinery, not only
the state will be the gamer, but also
the prisoner himself. He does not
stay In prison long enough, as a rule,
to be taught in the higher methods of
manual training, and what little he
can learn by running some machine is
OF little consequence in his after life.

state should see to il that he comes

At the meeting of the board of education,
Tuesday evening, all Of the grade teachers
were offered their positions for the ensuing
year. The superintendent and high school
teachers had previously been offered their
places, all having until May 1st to file their
acceptances Of the places. The list in
cludes some of the best teachers in Michi-
gan, and their work Is of the highest order.
The fact that no changes were found neces-
sary speaks well for the proficiency of the
corps, as the board Is and has been very
particular as to work done and the manner
of doing it. The list is as follows:
j. w. Simmons, Supt.; e. T. Austin,
principal; Hattie M. Hodge, Adah Curliss,
Edna. M. Haveps, Mana Il. Needles, Edith

High School Orators

Representing the high schools of three
cities, Harlan Hall, of Ithaca Charles III.
Hayden. of Lansing, and Frank Eastman,
OF Saginaw, took part in an oratOrical con-
test at the Congregational church lecture
room last Friday evening, Mr.. Hayden win
ming with score of 81 80, Mr.. Eastman
second, SO go, and Mr.. Hall third, S0.s5,
the judges being Mrs. Lucius 4. Gould,
Messrs. K. I. Austin and S. f. Parkil.
The object of the contest was to furnish q
candidate for the final contest at Oivet un-
der the direction of the state association
founded by Prof. Trueblood, of the Univer-
sity. The association consists of 80 schools
divided into six districts. W. M. Swift,
of Olivet, president of the Michigan high
school oratorical association, presided, and
explained the objects and purposes.
Mr.. Hayden's subject was Freedom"
and was thoroughly patriotic address.
Mr. Eastman's was "Saul of Tarsus," and
most admirably did he handle the subject.
He was more earnest, perhaps, but had not
as good a voice as Mr.. Hayden. Mr.. Hall
spoke of "Our Country" and his words
were well chosen aud gestures excellent,
but he lacked little in voice.
1t is expected this work will increase In
interest yearly and 1t is hoped Owosso will
by next year be in the contest and rank, as
Owosso always does, at the top.

in social intercourse and the club was again
called to order, an instrumental solo by Mrs.
Perry Duffy opening the program. Miss
Fanny Carruthers had a very interesting
select reading on how the Cubans were de-
Tending themselves, and fighting for free
dom. A vocal solo by Miss Louie Pelton
was we'll rendered, after which the members
listened to a paper on "What is the best
kind of cattle to raisee' by T. E. Lemon.

farmers?" we'll and most carefully pre-
pared paper by Miss M0!lie Carruthers. We

recited finely for one so young.
The roll was called, each family respond
ing with the exception of Ed. Whelan.

not be celebrated on the day of the year in
which that event occurred, but the Chris
