The declamatory contest of the
Whitewater district was held at White
water last Friday evening. Between
forty and fifty went from here to sup
port our representative, Miss Scoield.
While it is a source of regret to our citi-
zens and pupils that Miss Scofeld was
awarded only fifth place, still they re-
joice that first place was given to Miss
Richards who was the other representa-
tive of the Rock River Valley League
Our good wishes 60 with her as she goes
to Madison May Goth, to represent the
district in the State Contest The con-
test was of high order and was so close
that it was difficult to pick the winners.
This was evident from the marks of the
judges. One contestant was marked
first by one Judge, third by another, and
tenth by the third judge. Miss Scofeld
acquitted herself nobly and in the opin-
ion of many was as deserving of first
place as any of the contestants who were
placed above her. The places were
awarded as follows: Miss Mabel Rich
ards of Brodhead, first; Miss Euretta
Kimball of GAINESVILLE, second; William
E. Cove of Madison, third; Carl Mon
shon of Evansville, fourth; Miss Scofeld
fifth. The judges were Miss Estella
Hayden, Ft. Atkinson; Prof. G.. L. Collie,
Beloit; and Prof. W. S. Watson, White
water.

handled is the recital of the Lords
prayer by the aged Apostle Peter that no
offense is given to those who hold re-
igion as dear and sacred. Nothing
could be in stronger and stranger con-
trast than the heartless cruelty of the
Emperor Nero and the sanity christians
as they existed in the actual past, in the
alluring story of the novelist and in the
