At The Summer School

The Saturday session OF the Summer
School was an unexpected treat; fairly
a feast Of good things, for Rev. Jones
Of the local Methodist church gave us
an eloquent lecture OF the teachers he
remembers, and why he remembers
them--from the Black who fairly for
got himself in themes; yet was inter-
esting ut first because he graduated with
Barrie and Ian Maclaren tho two men
insisted on preaching "Hell fire and
'airly roasted those who disagreed
with hell-tirc." =
Miss Whiteley's solo was SO sweet a
lullaby, and her reception shows her
place in the hearts of her students; an
abiding place it is dug ont by her w rk,
so rich, 50 rare, SO rarely useful.
This school is we'll otticere with good
workers whose work is we'll in hand.
Then j. G. Callahan of Casselton, ex
County Superintendent gave talk
which was good in matter, but lacked
so much of his clear. crisp voice aud his
Irish brogue, the latter he dons at will.
Later he conducted the Civil Govern
ment class and there we had treat IN
his Senate visit, on day Of Filipino
debate, and who will forget his awe,
(he said he was over awed first time in
his life) in U. S. Supreme Court. Thee
he was at home, for he is now bright
and shining light among our county le-
gal luminaries. In his respect for U. 5.
Supreme Justice, he is in such good
company as the late w. f. Gladstone
and tho present Law Lord Of England,
Baron Russell of Killowen.
Lastly We had an eloquent plea for
Al>o ~l:x.,,:t,, ~ thn tho nnENOrfnD-
ity of the quiet little Rod Schoolhouse,
and our compelling duty of opening our
eyes to see, and hearts to love, the little
group of Ave which is the average at
tendance it seems. This is the CorpOr-
ais Guard, tho Picket Post of the com
ing Grand Army of the Republic, Is, OOO,-
coo strong, of which North Dakota con-
tingent is mo- mean part. Who was the
Bugler? The man affectionately called
by his fellows, Joe Devine.
He magnified our work and privileges
until we exclaimed, "Who is sufficient
for these things?" But VIC thank God
for the Prophet.
2O4 students are enrolled in the Sum
mer school.
ia have elected to attend the Civil
Government class OF Prof. Hoover. Why?
First foremost. Mr.. Hoover does good
work. Second, in good classes, we all
study together, teacher as guide and
friend, pupil as individual who stands
alone rs citizen. Third, North Dakota
insists on having for teachers those who
are good citizens and can give reason
for the faith that is within them. All
must study civics.
Miss Whiteley's power of working
we'll under adverse circumstances Is
marvel to those in her class. Sheer
grit! Sand that shifts, but to line up
Somewhere else, say those who live be-
side the Dunes of McHenry county:
Come and see Miss Fisher and Miss.
Snow, our new worker. See women,
self poised not nervous, but full OF
nerve.
The thanks of the students who have
now seen the X-Ray are hereby rendered
to Mrs. SCrokat for her courtesy and
The reception held in the drcssmak-
ing parlors of Mrs. Ode and her sister
Oh M-nday evening has left a warm
spot in the memory q .ac guests, Hhn
take the opportunity of saying SO.
The students generally are very CRATE
full to the Law officers and the newspa-
per dcns for unfailing courtesies:
Some Of us have left an abiding i'm
preston OF ourselves, on Minot retinas,
as permanent question marks.
Minot leaves an imprint on our minds
as the picturesque Of poetry, pleasure,
and peace of happy homes and hearts
that heed Long may she flourish, and
grow as now. :
