SARATOGA SCHOOL r

by Rev Mclean opened the exer
cises. The Saratoga Drill, per-
formed by the school chill
dren, was then gone through to
music. This drill consisted in the
spelling out of the word, 'Sarato-
ga by the maneuvering of the
children. 1t was a most beautiful
sight.
A duet, "The Woodbird's Song
WAS rendered by Mrs. Fl. A. Dyer
and Mrs. DR.. Burke. Then came
the lecture by President Lewis,
entitled Things Most Worth
While in Education" 1t was a
very interesting and entertaining
lecture, and President Lewis won
great renown as a witty and inter
esting talker.
The evenings program ended a
very busy and happy day for the
little people, and one hat will
long be remembered by every one
who took n part in it.

Prof. stearns Re Engaged.


TFTWIn Lust Week : Snh,T
The school board had a meeting
Wednesday night and decided on
engaging Professor Stearns for
another year. Professor Stearns
has done excellent work during
the past year, and his re-engage-
ment for the coming year will be
hailed with pleasure by the pa
irons of the school. No steps
have been taken, as yet, looking
to the employment of any of the
other teachers.

Eastman Hess finds it necessary
to leave us Friday. Eastman is a
good boy and a very earnest pu-
pill in all his work. We will be
sorry to lose you but glad you
could stay as long as you have.
Let's look into the future a little.
We hear the water works reser-
voir is to be placed on the hill
southeast of the school building.
Then with one of the mains laid
past the school house, why can we
not some time have trees around
our building and a green corner
of blue grass?
We hope the Board will connect
us with the outer world by
giving us a telephone. AT first
it seems a useless thing to do. but
a moments thought will show its
value Sickness, supplies, urgent
business, and dozens of little
things could be so much quicker
seen to without running all over
town. Then it aids in public en-
terprise.
The intermediate pupils are
very proud of being read to, and
have learned TO listen we'll. This
year we have read Little
Men, E~agle-eye, The Little Hia-
watha, Shakespeare Stories, Story
of Pixie, Life of Daniel Boone, A
Story of Kit Carson, Little People
of the North, Ways of Wood Folk,
Wild Animals | Have Known, and
Black Beauty.
The high work for next year
will be the completing of General
History and also English History,
Advanced Algebra, Geometry,
Rhetoric, Book keeping, Zoology
and the beginning of Latin. This
means a good year of hard work
for the High School for next year
and every pupil should begin at
once to make preparations for the
full 9 months school.
Mr.. Will Ashley kindly painted,
in gold and black, our school mot
to on our clock door. "Hic labor.
hoe opus est This is labor.
this work" is indeed applicable to
school work. Those who work
will push ahead, while the lazy,
indolent, undetermined boy or
girl will drop back a little each
year from their class, and soon
are lost from the school room.
Along with our vocal music at
school there are several pupils who
are taking piano. These are Bes.
sic Kennedy, Stella Trapp, May
Chambers, Madeline McPhail.
Nellie kienzle, Anna Jensen and
Marion McPhail. We are very
glad to e our girls taking up
this work, for it is an accomplish
ment that they will ever be proud
of and will give them much Joy.
They all are doing nicely in their
work and ere long they will add
much to sur pleasure.
For the past two weeks the
Second Grade pupils have been
playing they were various dumb
animals and have written stories.
One of the best stories was written
by the tiniest boy in the room.
THE CAT"
| am a cat. | have a ruff tunp
and | have 30 teeth and | have
gray eyes. | have a nice nest in
the hay and there | have 3 baby
kittens. They have lots of fun
playing. They rassel with each

the hay and sometimes one falls
down and gets all covered over
with hay,

Jubilee Day.

Friday morning dawned bright,
but rather cool. The school chill
dren were all up bright and early.
There was to be nc school after
recess, but still there was lots to
do in and about the school build
ing. They all assembled at the
school building about nine O'Clock
a. m. and busy hands decorated the
building with the school %colors, red
and white. The new bell. which
rested proudly in its cupola, was
also appropriated decorated The
new flag, the gift of Capt. Rhode,
was bound TO its rope, ready to be
hauled into position. The entire
morning was a busy one for all
hands, and all were on theil good
behavior.
At , o'clock the school building
and grounds were once more Gov
cred with happy children, all
bright in holiday attire.ifA great
many of the parents and citizens
of the town had assembled to do
honor to the occasion. President
Lewis, ofthe Wyoming University,
had arrived on the noon stage and
was to hoist the flag and make a
short address. All was interest
and excitement. President Lew
is made a short, witty talk and
then drew the flag to its staff,
where it hoated proudly in the
breeze.
Then came the proud event of
christening the bell. Little Alma
Ainsworth, assisted by Prof.
Stearns, with "A beautifully dec
GRATED bottle of water from the
springs here, climbed to the belfry,
and with a loud. clear voice, chris
tened the bell. and broke the bot
tie on its rim. Then joyful young
hands got hold of the rope and
out upon the breeze fioated the
first sounds of the new school
house bell,
After a photograph of the teach
ers and scholars, collected in a
group in the high room, was taken,
all repaired to Jensen Opera
House. where the exercises of the
day were to be completed.
1t was an excited and happy
throng of children who filed the
hall. They could not sit, stand,
or do anything for very long at a
time, so happy were they. After
quiet was restored, Prof. Stearns,
acting as master of ceremonies,
called upon Rev. Mclean to open
the meeting with an invocation.
Then followed an address by
Judge Rowen on Public Enter
prise, which was well received.
Jack and Jill, a comical piece of
music, was then given by a quar-
tette. odd Glory" an address
by j. c. Kennedy, the president
of the school board, was an excel
lent effort. Mrs II. a. Dyer then
rendered the Star Spangled Ban
ner, assisted by a qu%artette in the
chorus. The music was grand
and inspired the entire audience.
Little Bessie Kennedy then
gave a soliloquy, supposed to rep
resent what the little old bell,
which has been doing duty at the
school buildings in the town. for
so many years, had to say on being
superseded by its big, melodious
companion This was followed by
a school paper, 1--WE Have Helped
to Pull the Rope" by Miss Fran
ces White. The best piece of the
afternoon was the School Budget.

witty things gotten up by the

very proud of their examination
papers that were displayed Friday
afternoon.
The third and fourth grades

boys, Ed and Henry Francis, who

Our school house looks ever so

the new tower and our new flag
floating gaily above.

written work in the Primary de-
partment, so we made a border

Four of the boys continued the
Jubilee celebration on Friday
evening by a long and vigorous
ringing of the new bell. They
were initiating it into its new
work.
We are all anxious to see the
pictures taken of the school and
drill. If they are good every child
should have one of them. You
can see them at Mr.. Ashley's Drug
Store in a few days.
The pupils of the Saratoga
School are all much pleased to
learn of the announcement of the
engagement of Prof. Stearns and
they all unite in wishing him
much happiness.

Little Alma Ainsworth did
herself proud in the dedication
of the school bell. This is some
thing she will remember through
out her life. She carried the
neck of the broken bottle home
as a trophy and precious keep
sake to remember the day.

THE ENGLISH FOOTBALL FIELD.
These extracts will be found interest
ing:
Large employers of labor in York
shire, in Lancashire, in Durham, and in
Northumberland, as well as in the Mid
lands, have been obliged to yield to the
rush of the tide and are powerless tV
command the interests of business
against those of football. Momentous
events, such as the launching of a ship
or the completion Of an important order
within contract time, have frequently
been delayed. by the coincidence Of a
''cup. tie" Large establishments gre
occasionally closed in midweek because
tbs whole body of workmen take it into
their heads that their pets on>the foot
ball grounds require encouragement. II
these men were ordinary hewers of wood
and drawers of water a remedy might
be found, but they are chiefly skilled
laborers-earners Of good wages-who
need never be out of work, and who, il
turned off, would be eagerly snapped UP
by a rival.
Persuasion IS useless, for money is

Is worse than useless; so the tyrannized
employers have, in their own interests
actually to encourage what in their
hearts they detest. Thus, as | have beer
told. a large shipbuiloing firm in one OF
our northeastern ports has been forced
to find good berths for a couple OF first
rate football players during the summer
months, merely to retain their services
for the local club and to prevent them
from being tempted away by a rival. Ii
a man or a h%aif-dozen men are absent
from their posts ON a Wednesday or a
Saturday nobody asks where they are,
or if they are i'll or dead; it being taken
for granted that football somewhere has
attracted them away. To ask leave OF
absence is, of course, an archaic super
fluffy. Jamie or George wants to be at
a certain game, he goes, and there is no
more to be said about it.

ENGLISH FOOTBALL
SOME PHASES OF THE SPORT
AMONG BRITISH WoRKMEN.
Game Is Largely Professional and the
Workman Is Always Ready to
Quit His Job to Root for
His Favorite Team.

Football is a source of trouble in Eng
land as in the United States, but in
different way. in the United States the
chief complaint against the game is thai
it occupies too much of the time of col
lege students, costs too muchmoney, is
dangerous to life and limb, and has
generally demoralizing effect on under.
graduate athletics.
In England It is not the college stu
dents, but the w~orkingmen, who, it il
claimed, are injuriously affected by foot
ball. An article touching on this sub
iect recently appeared in an English
magazine, and the view taken of the
question may be of interest to the Amer
lean public. 1t appeared in Macmillan's
Magazine and is directly to the point
