A traveller in the East does not feel
satisfied that his trip is a success
without climbing a pyramid. This
is a very difficult task, as the steps
are breast high, and in order that he
may do it, there are guides who aid
the aspirant to accomplish the feat.
One goes behind to push him up
while another aids in front by pull
ing. When he has scaled one step,
he.feels like stopping to renew his
strength and get his breath before
attempting another.
When we finished the work in the
grades we had scaled one of these
breast high steps on the colossal
American pyramid Of education.
We rested three months that we
might renew, our mental vigor and
gather determination and persever-
ance for the High School course. It
has taken us four years to accomp-
lish this with the aid Of our instruc-
tors, guides who have labored tire
ilessly in our behalf. And now we
have mounted the second step, our

Let us examine few of the sub
jects and see what benefits are t,
be derived from them.
First, take the mathematical
branches-algebra and geometry
To solve problems in either of these
studies pupils work must be cor
rect in every detail. This gradu
ally enkindles in the pupil desire
to be correct in all things, which
leads to the formation Of habits Ct
accuracy and exactness.
LATIN requires concentration o.
thought, continual study, and con.
stant use of the English language

sion. The study of Latin also
makes the study of French, Span:
ish and English much easier.
The benefits derived from the
study of physics are more practical
than from any other subject. From
it we gain fair knowledge of elec.
tricity and of different kinds of ma.
chimes and their workings. It is oil
daily use, for these laws are univer.
sal and employed continually.
Rhetoric enables a pupil to write
a good essay or talk intelligent]y on
any subject given him, which he
was unable to do when he left the
eighth grade. :.~
From literature he gains informa-
tion in regard to the lives of the
great writer's, which throws much
light upon their works. The study
of some of the best authors is re-
quired and a liking is thus gained
for the highest grade of literature.
Other studies require deep study
and have much disciplinary value.
BY gaining a good education one
has his reward in the rich stores OF
knowledge thus collected, and
which are ever at his command
more valuable than earthly treasure,
as it is permanent and enduring.

Morse Mythology.
WILLIAM GREEN,

Although less is known of the
Morse Mythology than the Greek,
and although it is less poetic, it
plays as important a part in our
literature, even though it be less
conspicuous one.
The conditions under which these
two peoples were brought up have
made lasting impression on their
respective mythologies.- Under the
seeming wildness of the Morse
are found the rugged elements o1
honesty, bravery and sterling love
of truth; virtues that we are proud
our ancestors possessed. ...
Although ,Odin was their highest
god, they had one idea, although a
vague one, of one whose name they
dared not mention. The most defn-
ite record we have of the old Morse
gods is found in one of the Eddas,
which has been handed down
through the centuries, and without
which all trace of the ancient reli-
gious belief would surely have been
lost in the dark ages.
They believed that at first there
was only illimitable space where
dwelt the all-seeing spirit, until
there arose from the depths two
lands, one to the north and one tc
the south, between which lay vast
chasm. Sparks from the south fell or
the frozen. waters Of the north, and
vapor arose which was again frozen
into hoar-frost, and from this mix
ture sprang a giant. A COW was
also created to nourish him, who
licked the hoar-frost and liberated {

sons we're the first Of the gods
They soon slew all the giants ex

of the wicked frost giants, who

If a person who had visited this
section a score of years ago should
now see it for the second time, he
would undoubtedly experience a
sensation similar to that of Rip Van
Wrinkle when he awoke from his
sleep. It was simply a boundless
sea Of waving grass, relieved here
and there by a thicket Of willows or
poplar.
Some time ago I happened to see a

G. CLARICE GR1NDELAND.

Americans are great travellers.
Every year thousands 60 abroad
to see the riches and beauty of for
eign lands, and their travels are the
subject of much discussion. In our
schools we study the history of
other countries, and thus we over
look and scarcely realize the magni-
tude, riches and beauty OF our own
United States. -
We, the class Of 1903, as native
born Minnesotans, invite your at
tention this evening to our state.
By right of discovery and explo-
ration, the French claimed most of
the territory now included in Min
nesota. That part east of the Mis-
sissippi was ceded to the United
States in 1887, while the portion
west of the Mississippi was included
in the Louisiana Purchase just one
hundred years ago. A local gov
ernment begun in 1919, the year
Fort Smelling was established, con-
tinued until 1849, when Minnesota
was made territory, with the Mis-
souri, as the western boundary and
St. Paul the temporary capital. In
1857 Congress authorized state
government. and in the same wear
the first state legislature convened.
Minnesota was but three years
old with scarcely 10000 inhabitants
when, at the breaking out of the
Civil War, President Lincoln issued
a call for $4,000 men, but behold
Minnesota, the youngest state of the
Union, yet leading the van Of the
army. The First Minnesota was
not only the first regiment in the
state, but the first of the nation,
The blood of our soldiers stained all

numbering was an early industry.
In less than century this wilder

construction, cannot be excelled by
any city Of equal size in the country.
But let us briefly trace the
growth and development of the
country. The hardships were very
many and great. More than one
man has walked fifteen miles over
trackless prairie with sack OF
flour on his back. Others were
fortunate enough to possess horse
less carriages, but their motive
power was neither electricity or
steam, but the slow-moving, pa
tlence-trying OK. In spite of many
trials and troubles, however, the
sturdy pioneers toiled, saved and
suffered until their produce so in
creased that in 1884, 400, 900 bushels
OF wheat were shipped from Warren
alone. Year by year the bushels
grew until in 1895 nearly 5000, 900
bushels of wheat were raised, be-
sides thousands of bushels of bar
ley, oats and corn.
In educational advantages there
has been remarkable development.
Twenty years ago we had four
school-houses in this county. We
have today one hundred and ten
school districts. Many districts
have two school houses, all employ
responsible teachers, so there is
little excuse for children growing
up in ignorance.
While wheat raising was once the
only industry, the time has now
come when the wide-awake farmer
is beginning to depend more upon
diversified farming. Conditions are
vastly improved. People residing
in the rural districts take daily
papers and keep abreast with cur
rent events. The landowner, who
twenty years ago toiled in the
sweat of his brow from early dawn
till late at night, now enjoys the
fruits Of his labors, and takes life
quite leisurely. He lives happily
in his stately residence, the lord of
his dominions, and in his covered
carriage drives about his possess
sions superintending the work.
Where the Indian once roamed at
will. chasing the buffalo, today the
harvester reaps the golden grain:
where the ox-cart once dragged it's
weary way, the light buggy spins
merrily along, drawn by Spirited
roadsters. Homes have sprung
from the dugouts as if by magic,
followed by their natural COM
panions, the school and the church.
and everywhere are seen the evi.
dence Of a glorious civilization and
prosperity.

The Advantages of a High
School Education.

It is a fact to be regretted that
many pupils object to completing
the four years course Of High
School work, on the ground that the
knowledge they acquire will be Of
no practical benefit to them in after
life.
It must be admitted that within a
few years most Of the Latin will be
forgotten and the simplest problem
in algebra or geometry will prove a
stumbling block. From this it
need not be concluded that the

Interesting Exercises Listened to
by a Large and Appre-
ciative Audience.

Each year brings us it's COM
mencement week with it's usual
hard work but all enjoyment in the
end, and this year has certainly
been no exception.
Grade Exercises.
Friday afternoon at the Opera
House occurred the grade entertain
ment, greeted as usual with a full
house. The program opened with
THE Brownies Filtration THE
lads being ably assisted by num-
ber of little girls, all acquitting
themselves very creditably. This
was followed by a number of beauti-
full and intricate drills, in which it
was marvellous to see how well the
little ones took their parts. In con-
clusion, the operetta, Little Red
Riding Hood,' was presented - a
seemingly difficult matter for little
folks, but which, with their appro-
pirate costumes and excellent pre-
sentation, captured the admiration
of everyone in the audience.
Owing to lack of time and space,
we cannot go into detail as to the
program, but the various numbers
were we'll rendered, and parents
and teachers have reason to feel a
sense of satisfaction, for it certainly
meant a great deal Of work On the
part Of the pupils and more patience
and labor on the part Of the teachers.
High School Commencement.
In the evening the Opera House
was again crowded to it's utmost by
those interested in our school and
eager to witness the graduation Of
of five of the most capable and pro-
missing young people that have ever
COMPLETED the work in our school.
The decorations of the hall we're
truly handsome in their simplicity
of lavender and green, the stage be-
ing we'll supplied with potted plants
and background Of the same.
3 Supt. Angus presided and an
nounced the various numbers. The
program opened with the invocation
byRev. Mr.. Fulton, of the Presbyte-
rian church, followed with chorus
Hail, Bright Abode" beautifully
rendered by those composing the
best musical talent of our city, Mrs.
O'Connell presiding at the piano.
In fact, all of the musical numbers
were very good indeed, and those
who participated are to be congrat-
ulated upon their success.
The orations, to say the least,
were excellent, and the delivery in
each case certainly speaks highly
for those to whom the honor be-
longs, viz: Fred Bakke, Clarice
Grindeland, August Bystrom,
Frank Kendall and William Green.

respective orations:
