and a modest confidence that capti-
waited the audience. Her theme was
sour Nations Flag" and she told the
history of '.Old Glory" with anima-
tion and spirit and was awarded with
cheers and applause.
The simple latin motto of the high
school, "Via Scientiae, Via VII" mean

road to power was adopted by the
common school, and will be their
motto as they journey to the loftier
realms of learning.
The sole representative of the new
high school was Mr.. Ralph Saum II.
Saum, whose theme was, "A West In
diam" Tracing the career of his hero
from childhood through all the vicis-
situdes of life to national greatness
and world renown, interpolatiDg
thoughts and reflections, the young
graduate did full justice to his theme
and to himself. His concluding words
were: 'sHistory records the names of
many of the great and good, in peace
and in war, of all lands and of all
times, but none stand out more
brightly on its page than he who was
cradled in sea-girt isle of the An
titles and whose childhood's lullabies
were the sounding surf of the Allan
tic, Alexander Hamilton.
The principal of the school says
that Mr. Saum has mind more
adapted to the ready acquisition of
learning than any other that ever
came under his charge, and now passes
him on to the great professors of the
university for the completion of his
studies. and is very confident that,
when that is done, his subsequent
career will reflect credit on his old
home in Wa-Keeney.

perintendent's remarks were brief and
timely. He would have the audience
remember that Sampson, Schley and
Dewey were the product of the COM
mon school, congratulated the gradu-
ates, and hoped that in three years
some one would have the pleasure of
giving them a high school diploma,
and to the high school graduate he
said that he hoped the chancellor of
the state university would give him
a sheepskin in all good season.
Miss Hobbs of the Grammar school
delivered the class address. 1t was
scholarly. appropriate, and well-timed.
She recounted the satisfaction of an
education to its pOSSeSSor, and Stroye

NV Dear WORLD:

The Independents correspondent
says, s'The Ogallah people who are In
terested in the public schools would
like to know why a discrimination
was made between the common school
graduates of Wa-Keeney and the sout
of town of districts"
In the buffeting of the everyday
world, have learned that man
hasn't time to stop and mash every
little garter snake that Kisses at him
as he goes by, but the above shall not
pass unchallenged.
When 1 took charge of the Wa-Kee-
ney schools 1 found a magnificent
school, pupils, patrons and school
board, and at once undertook the task
of shaping course of study for its
common school department and with
the assistance of the chancellor of the
State University put in high school
course to articulate with the uni
versity. This was done and approved
by the school board.
The common school department is
divided into nine years work, on the
completion or which, the pupil is
awarded a common school diploma
which admits him to the high school.
These common school graduates
have nothing t. do with the county
common school examination and may
take it or not, just as they please.
This year they chose to take the COM
mon school examination. merely to
show that they COULD pass it. and

| they did too, with flying colors.
This didn't suit some people but it
suited me, and 1 was running the city
schools. See!
Doesn't it look unreasonable that
the Wa-Keeney school district, It's
people and teachers should be expect
ed to pay all the expense and do all
the drilling, decorating, ETC., for
every district in the county?
Besides, this year there were nine
graduates which made a long program
and I could not well take in any more.
l might possibly have squeezed in one
or two from Ogallah but that would
be discriminating" against Collyer,
Riverside, Wilcox and others, and
the Ogallah kicker is against dis
elimination" of any kind.
And now for the enlightenment of
my disgruntled friend from Ogallah
let me say that there is an official
whose duty it is to look after the
county graduation, and there is no
doubt that he will do so. The county
superintendent will attend to his bus
mess, and / will endeavor to attend
to mine, and the kicker from Ogallah
will do well to withdraw to some fish
pond and immerse his thimbleful of
cerebral tissue in the GOODNESS thereof.
Yours very truly,
JOHN s. DAWSON,
Principal, Wa-Keeney Schools.
