HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
Edited by FRED POPPE.

May Sth, 1900.
The Address to the Seniors will be
given at the Methodist church, Sun
evening May Goth.
1t may be interesting for some to
know that the high school has enroll
ed 81 boys and 40 girls. In the
whole school there are PA boys and
213 girls.
This week we were honored with the
presence of the Mesdames Ely and
Wedell, Miss Nellie Cannon and
Master Frank Hits.
There was no school Thursday
morning May 3rd, on account OF the
great misfortune which overlook Mil
bank at that date.
For the next few weeks, practices
for the graduating and the various
promotional exercises will be forward
ed with great vigor. Already, both
the school-house and church is being
utilized with that purpose in view.
This is our last week of study; the
whole of next week will be devoted to
successive examinations in the var
ious branches and departments; and
the week after next is set apart for
the exercises.
Leaving aside the pleasures, the
Geology Expedition last Saturday
proved to be profitable venture to
the wide-awake pupils.
A host Of school boys and girls
gave Master Charles Stone pleasan
surprise last Friday evening.
The Seniors received the greater
share of their invitations Tuesday
morning, fresh from the press.
The 18th grade Latin class expect to
finish the 3rd book of Virgil next
Monday or Tuesday, and there is
some talk of finishing the 4th book
during the first week of vacation.
Monday few of the High school
boys organized a baseball team with
the following officers installed:

| ing Ely, Treas. Merton Crowl.

Young Idea Developers.

Another Of the very successful
teachers meetings for which
Grant county is becoming noted,
was held at the court house in
this city, last Saturday. There
were about seventy-five teachers
present. The program was in
teresting and beneficial, in spite
of the absence of three Of those
who we're to take part. Prof. j.
N. Childs of Ortonville, gave
helpful talk on the teaching of
reading.
At noon there was an ''im-
promptu" dinner served and the
teachers who went away fearful
that there would not be enough
to go around, might have had suf-
ficient to last them several meals
if they had remained, as there
was enough to feed two editors
and basketful over. Mrs. Ra-
mer and Mrs. Downie assisted
with the dinner.
The association voted to make
more of feature Of the reading
circle work next year, and do it
| in connection with the associa-
ton work. The plan to hold
meetings about as this year was
also determined upon.
Sup't. Ramer expressed his
satisfaction at the way the teach
ers were endeavoring to prepare
themselves for better work. The
entire educational force will be
better for next years work than
ever before if they are allowed tc
have their way about school mat
ters. The teachers propose to
render better service and there
is a feeling among them that they
| should have a little better remu
neration than has been their lo
in the past. In fact, while there
are some populists among them
they believe in expansion so fal
as it is necessary to keep pace
with the trend Of affairs general
".

The populists are having a
busy week OF it this week, one
branch of the party holding a
national convention at Sioux
Falls, and the other branch seek
ing Cincinnati for inspiration.
The Sioux Falls convention is
called to go through the form Of
nominating Bryan and present
him to the democrats as accept
able meat, while the Cincinnati
convention is composed OF the
middle of f-the-roaders, who are
against Bryan and are opposed
to the populists surrendering to
the democracy. One Of the
noticeable things is the meaner
and smaller a party gets the
more conventions it needs.

The Free Homo Bill.

The passage of the Free Home
stead Bill by the House of Rep
resentatives last week was a
we'll earned victory for the rep
resentatives from the north
western states who have been
working for this result for the
past six wears. In former ses-
sions of congress the Senate has
passed the bill three times and
always by good majorities and
there seems to be no reason to
doubt that they will again pass
it at this session and that the
president will sign it is certain.
In the debate in the House,
Representatives Gamble and
Mr.. Eddy of Minnesota made
some remarkably able arguments
which were seconded by num-
Der of other representatives, a
notable incident Of the occasion
was a speech by the Hon. Galasha
A. Grow of Pennsylvania who was
father of the original homestead
law. Mr.. Grows maiden speech
in the House of Representatives
was delivered March 80, 1852, he
was at that time the youngest
member of that body and his
first speech was in favor of Free
Homesteads. Forty eight years
later, on May 3, 1900, his voice
was again heard in favor of the
same principle, and this time he
was the oldest member Of the
House; his dramatic declaration
that if the principle Of home
steads was right in 1852 it was
right today was followed by
loud applause. Seldom has any
public man after lapse of half
a century been permitted to
speak in favor of principle ad-
vocated in his youth which has
produced such splendid results
as the homestead policy, and the
state of Pennsylvania showed it's
appreciation by giving Mr.. Grew
the largest majority ever given
a congr esman at the last election.
The following letter from
Congress- man Burke states the
present position of tne bill:
House of Representatives., Washing
ton, D. c., May 9Th, 1900.
J. D. Smull, Esq, Milbank, S. D.
My dear Sir
| l am pleased to inform you that
yesterday, when the free home bill
reached the Senate from the House
that Senator Nelson of Minnesota
moved to substitute for the Senate
bill and that the Senate bill be in.
definitely postponed. This motion
prevailed and the House bill therefore
goes upon the Senate calendar for
passage without reference to any com.
mittee. This means that it is in shape
now where it is almost certain to bt
reached at this session of the Senate
; in regular order, though we hope te
take it up by unanimous consent, anc
it is possible we may get the bill
through at an early date.
) I am also pleased to inform yol
!, that we are now certain of enacting
t law at this session that will give t.
: everyone who has made HOMESTEAD
/ entry and commuted the same the righ
5 to make a second entry. This un
doubtedly will be satisfactory to tn
, parties who have committed their er
i tries who would have gotten thei
g lands free had they waited until th
e passage of the free homes bill.
e Yours very truly,
n CHAS. FL. BURK1
