A NATIONS HOLIDAY
The Glorious Fourth As 1t Was
Celebrated HereaboutS

Celebrated Herea6outS
The 4th of July in Brookings was a
very quiet affair. A great many people
went to White, others to Bruce and a
greater number to Nolga. BY far the
larger number went to Volga to cele-
accessibility. The larger portion of
our population, however stayed at
home. Neighborhood picnics were
INDUCED in with nice quiet time.
The Sherwin, Kendall, Phillips and
Collins families with their friends
went to the college grove for their pic
mic. The Lorimer, Wimsey, Mckee,
Vinegar, Wing, Harte, Breed, Luton,
Hooker, butcher and Mccoy families
with their visiting relatives and friends
and other near neighbOrs assembled
on the lawn of Mr.. and Mrs. W. II.
Leighty and had a six O'Clock picnic
dinner. AS we were there we can
testify to the good time and the good
things that were spread before this
crowd. A fine display of fireworks
was one of the enjoyable features Of
the entertainment and was in charge
of Ed. Lorimer and Matt. Wimsey.
The Fishback and Mathews families
and Mr.. Jennings went to Lake Camp
bell to enjoy their picnic and celebra-
ton.
At the home OF Mr.. and Mrs. c. \.
Skinner porch party was inaugurated
in the early part of the evening. Their
neighbors and friends being invited
in to enjoy the fireworks. Hon. :. H.
Elrod, Republican candidate for gov
ernor, was the guest of honor. Mr..
Elrod delivered the Grafton at Bruce
and came down to spend the night in
Brookings.
Another neighborhood picnic party
was held on the lawn Of Mr.. and Mrs.
j. T. Tidball. The Thompsons,
Keiths, kellys, Hemingways and
other neighbors joining them in a
good time.
Other affairs of the kind took
place about the city but did not come
under our personal observation. In
the early evening and until near mid
night the sky was lit up with rockets,
Roman candles and other fireworks
in every part of the city.
The night trains from the east, north
and west came in on their regulation
time bringing crowds OF entnu, iastic
but tired people who had celebrated in
the surrounding towns.
The reports from Nolga tell of big
time, the crowd being estimated at
from five to ten thousand people ac-
cOrding to the number of drinks the
party had who gave in the report.
Two rattling good ball games were
played. one between Aurora and Het
land and the other between NOlga and
the Flandreau Indians. In the former
game Hetland defeated Aurora by a
score Of to 3. The Indians were de-
feated by Nolga, the score being to I.
The BrOokings band and ball team
assisted in the celebration at White.
The game Of ball between White and
Brookings was a good one the score
standing to in favor Of Brookings.
During the day the grand stand gave
way in the center and several people
were hurt, but no one seriously in
iured. 1t is reported that Sheriff
Campbell was called in IS suppress
the blind pigs. He arrested two vio-
lators of the law three times. Barring
these little incidents the celebration
at White is said to have been a grand
success.

In the sand Of the gorge with the
depth penetrated. The increase can
be noted from foot to foot. At a
depth of forty.two feet the water con.
tains about 1900 parts per 100000 Of
common salt, not quite as strong as
sea water.
These facts together with other data
produced by Mr.. Slichter proves con-
clusively that the greater underhow
comes from the mesa and not from the
river and that the building of reser-
voirs at points above III Paso in the
valley could not materially affect the
supply at that point, and it is quite
p obable they would increase rather
than decrease it.

SCHOOL NOTES

The eighth grade and High
School Department have complet-
ed the sixth month work but all
other grades have only finished
the fifth mouth work. There
fore parents will readily see the
absolute necessity of keeping
their childaen in school. Send
the boys and girls to school!
They are perfectly safe, as far
as contagious diseases r con-
cerned because all rooms are
thoroughly disinfected every
Saturday.
The final examinations for the
eighth grade occurs this month
and all members of the class are
concentrating their energy and
conscientiously working which is
usually indicative of success.
There are some fifteen members
in this class for which we shall
have graduating exercises.
Each member of the class will
participate in the exercise by
giving a production of some
kind. Appropriate addresses
will be made and the diplomas
presented by the President Of
the Board of Education. We
shallannounce the program later.
We shall have no graduating
class in the High School depart
ment as no one will complete the
present course OF prescribed
study.
The class in Solid Geometry
has finished the sixth book and
taken up the seventh. This
class will successfully complete
this year, both Plane and Solid
Geometry.
The class in Eng. Literature
has spent the past month in the
study of Hawthorne's Life and
and Works. We shall next
month take up a critical study
of the life, works; and misunder-
stood personality of Edgar Allen
Poe.
The class in Photography
has the distinction OF using the
original copy Of a text book on
Photography prepared by the
Supt. which will be published in
the early spring. This work is
the result Of ten years experience
in teaching the subject and val
liable research and presents the
subject in such a concise form
that eighth grade students can
easily master the subject.
Our regular teachers meeting
was held Monday evening at
which a brief discussion was
given IN conformity to the law
of mind growth.
Our entertainment for the ben
eft of the High School library
will be given the latter par: of
March. Some of the ablest tai
ent in the entire school will ap.
pear in this entertainment which
gives every promise Of SUCCESS.
We trust that it will receive the
liberal patronage of the people as
we are planning the purchase OF
new books for tie library.
There seems to be a mis-
understanding of the part of
some as to when beginning
students shall enter school.
Such students will be admitted
only at the beginning of the
school year as no provision is
made for such in the curriculum
and no course of study is open or
elective until that time. 1t is
highly imperative that we. OBJ
serve uniformity in the develop
ment of a general plan and this
cannot be accomplished by adj
hitting students at any time
throughout the year.
Mrs. Roush and Miss Moore of
Fargo called i'll the High School
Department Monday afternoon.

Mesdames Washburn, jacobson
