work about TO begin. With so COM
petent leader Mineral Point will
stand good chance in our county
meets and the meet at Madison.
The school at recess and moons

of trade. "Hull gulln and ''odd or

On Friday the High School students
were dismissed at recess p. M, and
the grade pupils assembled in the
main room. A program had been
prepared and songs and recitations
were given by the little people. The
Misses Jones, Blewett, Deller, Oke
and Hawkins, and the High School
Quintette assisted in the entertain
ment. The pupils were struck with
the pleasant appearance of the main
room, and it was plainly evident that
the Junior banner was greatly adj
mired.
On Monday, March II, Prof. Davis,
President of Lawrence University,
spoke to the students on the advan-
tages of education. His remarks are
in palt as follows: ''Young people,
you have splendid opportunities, but
you must not feel that you are more
gifted than the people of seventeen
generations age Your teachers are
better acquainted with science and
learning than the teachers of one hun
dred years ago. You have these OPP
portunities before you and should
make all that you possibly can out of
them. Do the most faithful work and
have full confidence in your compe-
tent teachers There is no crying de-
mand for ounces. Stupidity is no
called for at q premium and ignor-
ance finds no ready market. 1t is
true that certain kinds of work have
to be done, and if you are called to
do it do not shirk, but you should be
prepared for greater tasks. 1t is true
that very few men have college edu-
cations one in ninety. A col
lege educati IN increases one's
chances in life 1t is good thing to
have a long period of baby-hood
During our childhood we receive pre-
paration for life, and the longer that
period lasts the more time we will
have for life preparation. Do not
despair, but take years if need be for
your education. There are two kinds
of students. those who CO. and those
who are sent. Those who are sent
are at an advantage, but those who
go are the ones that amount to some
thing. The real man is not the body;
it is the inner person. Let your SUI
preme life work be to make the inner
person, the soul, great, and your life
will be one of great happiness and
usefulness
The English History class are fight
ing again the battles of the early
English kings. 1t was quite notice
able that the countenances of the
students fell when they learned that
their forefathers were rude bar
barians.
We viii have no school notes next
week, as it is vacation and we all in
tend TO enjoy it to the fullest extent.
AT about 2:l5 Monday afternoon the
faces of those who were in the room
seemed to brighten as Miss Jones
stepped into the room. She was
greeted with a smile from all. Of
course we are all very glad she is
back with us.
The base ball tsam had its first
regular practice on Saturday last. a
good showing was made.
Miss Jones went TO Madison on Fri
day OF last week, and all for '02. The
first OF June is rapidly approaching.
The marble fad seems 90 have had
it's day. Its place is taken by athlet-
les with the boys. Now the poor
girls ouly look on. They don't play
base ball, vault, or put the shot, but
they might possibly jump the rope.
Tie Physics class has taken up the
