Lavisa Overholtzer departed We'd
nesday morning for Marshalltown to
spend her vacation with relatives and
friends. At the beginning of the school
year she will go to Mount Vernon and
enter Cornell College. Miss Over
hotter was one of the highest in her
class and we do not doubt but that
she will sustain her past reputation in
the future.
The ladies OF the Columbian Club
have at last decided to purchase them
permanent home. They have re-
ceived an offer on the South Park
restaurant that makes it a bargain, and
have begun to solicit funds. They
have over $500, as the result of saw
ings and labor heretofore, and expect
to easily raise the remaining ST ,OOO.O 90
necessary. This is a laudable enter
prise and should receive the hearty
support of the business men. A town
is judged by its charitable enterprises.
People wax warm and laud the phil
anthropist who endows a college or
establishes a library. Andrew Carne-
gle has become the prince of library
founders and if he was the one to es-
tablish this library, loud would be his
praise. Our ladies do indeed receive
praise for their work and now should
receive the financial support. Their
work in establishing the library has
been one of sacrifices and hard work.
They have left home duties at times
to maintain the work. The results
cannot be estimated. Young men
have been supplied with literature
that they never would have gotten
a. M frnn dr.
been awakened and they are now
noble citizens instead of soualid
gamblers. Young girls have here
found the longing for good literature
satisfied and the sordid novel has been
superseded by sound sense. A home
such as the Club contemplates will
make things more permanent. 1t is
an enterprise of the people and not of
few. Let all contribute.
The Summer School is prospecting
ing nicely. There are now sixty-six in
attendance and good interest is mani
fest throughout. There is a tendency,
we are told by the teachers, however,
for the pupils to attempt more studies
than they can carry. -Four solid stud
les at one time is all one person can do
justice to at any time. A drill or two
might be added with profit, but no
studies. Just because one is reviewing
is no sign branch may be easy. 1t
would be far better for one to hold
themselvs down to the branches most
needed and take the others at some
future time. We are sorry to hear of
the dropping off of the class in practi-
cal literature. Again the instructors
are our informants that to miss this
| inn npto OF, TO To- al,
that will be strongly felt in the COM
ing examination. Aside from that the
teacher who is not dumb before the
! magnitude, the mystery, the majesty
of his own hopes and fears in the world
about him and can only find voice in
the flowing words OF the poet, the sing
er, the spirit whose dulcet music sets
free the inarticulate emotions, the dim
longings, the deep yearnings of his
] hungry soul, and he stands transform
ed, a new being and new life, that is
! felt by every pupil. If he has never
studied literature he will never feel it
but plod on and on in a mere existence
"Chaos, Cosmos. Cosmos Chaos. once
again the sickening game;
Freedom fell to Stay herself, and dying
while they shout her name"
Their freedom burns out in the
shallowness of their creation and their
longings are satisfied by the creed of
non-activity. We think none can miss
this class. Those who have Joined the
school since we last gave the names
are:
Nellie Morrow, Ella Forsbeck,
| Frances Morrisy, Clara Graves,
May jenkins, Perle Jenkins,
Ethel Kuhn, Grace Stanley,
