Geo. A. Neeves, Jr., Wins Gold Medal.

Some time ago the Society of Colonial
Danes in the State of Wisconsin dis
cussed the best ways and means of cul-
tivating love of country and spirit of
patriotism in the boys and girls who are
soon to take the places Of the men and
women of today.
The most feasible plan that was sug-
gested was that of offering prize for
the best essay to be written by the
pupils of the seventh grade of the pub
lie schools Of Milwaukee. The thought
was that the study and research which
would be the necessary preparation for
the writing of such an essay WOuld in
culcate liking for such study. and such
study would in turn engender love of
country.
Mrs. S. S. Merrill was appointed chair
man of a committee to confer with the
school board and the uperintendent OF
schools, and the result was that a gold
medal was offered for the best essay on
some phase Of American colonial his
tory between 1907 and 1776, and fifteen
"Honor Certificates for the fifteen
next best essays.
Friday afternoon the result was an
nounced. Of the 266 essays submitted
to the judges that written by Master
George A. Neeves was declared the best
and the gold medal was awarded to him.
Master Neeves will not be Is years old
until next August. He is the eldest son
of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. a. Neeves who
formerly resided in this city.
