RuUor has it that the night school
in No. 20 has given way to a revival
service being conducted by Reverend

fort. Eva, EVE and Wilbur elites are
putting forth a noble effort.
Henry Hendrickson has a stove, a
teachers desk. a book case, an Or
gan, thirty scholars With about half
as many seats, all crowded into a
room l5x22 feet. The other schools
in Prosper are crowded almost equal
" as -bad. Next year they will have
upwards OF sixty eighth and ninth
grade graduates. WHAT think. you,
citizens of Prosper, had you not bet
ter take hold OF this matter firmly at
once and build a high school in the
center Of your township wherein you
could propariy school these graduates
Without doing so at the expense Of
Joul younger scholars as you.are now
doing?

tion to the townspeople to be pres

the city will not be held that night.
Why not make up a couple wagon
loads ard go out and have n of
those good, old fashioned times?
This office is always ready to make
public mention Of m%eritorious efforts
whenever detected. The records re-
veal the fact that Miss Tilda Oleson,

dred in practically every branch for
four consecutive months. This is not
all mere natural ability: it is effort.
She is a kind. cheerful and studious
girl; a good speaker, an excellent
singer, and thoroughly beloved by ev-
cry other pupil in the school. Just
such an. ideal girl fIom whom such
ideal results might be honestly \
pected.
