state. He also called attention to
the fact that for several years our
schools have been conducted with
out system on account of deficien-
cy in the old course of study. This
is all changed now thru the energy
and perseverance of the Professor
who has mapped out an entirely
new Course of Study, up to the
times in all respects and is now in
the publishers hands ready for
printing before the fall term of
school. He also called the atten-
ton of his hearers to the lack of
BOY graduates from our schools
and asks why this ia 80, and if there
is no remedy for this growing evil.
The professor thanked the School
Board for the able support render
ed him at all times and that he had
never asked for an article of use to
the school but what it had bee n
cheerfully granted. He asked the
continued cooperation of the par
ents in the efforts of the faculty to
prevent tardiness and thus secure
more perfect attendance and con-
sequently more perfect results in
the several departments of our
school. He also took occasion to
congratulate the graduates on the
patient perseverance with which
they had toiled onward and upward
until at last the goal for which
they have labored so assiduously
has been attained and then remind
ed them there are other goals to
win in the arduous struggle for
more perfect education.
The benediction was pronounced
by Rev. 6. e. Nichols.
The graduating class were the re-
cipients of many beautiful as we'll

jewelry, ect. bestowed by parents
and adniring friends and flowers

We do not believe the assertion
that ga man is what he eats" can be
proven. Some persons contine them
selves to vegetable diet but they
do not happen to be potatoes or
parsnips; others restrict themselves
to the flesh of fowl and they are not
hens, and others live largely on eggs,
but the best incubator ever invented
would not evolve them into chick.
If we say "a man is what he reads
we think we are nearer the truth for
the character of the literature one
absorbs largely determines his per-
sonality.

Tonopah is strictly up-to-date in
everything. 1t now has a first. Glass
eve specialist in the person Of DR..
w. f. Strother, Of Butte, Mont, g,
whose services have been secured by
George f. Blakeslee, the well known
jeweler. A private parlor has been
fitted up especially for DR.. Strother's
use. Having the most complete and
up-to date optical instruments to be
found in the state, consisting Of an
ophthalmoter, a prisoptometer, a
refractometer and a retinascope,
the DR.. is enabled to make an &C
curate diagnosis OF any defect which
may exist in the eve. He charges
nothing for an examination or con
sultation. Many who suffer from
severe headaches do so from defec
tive vision, caused by an error Of re
fraction. DIR, Strother ~corrects all
such errors, including Myopia, by
p~emetropia, pressboopia, simple
compound and mixed astigmatism
and strabismus. This will be wei
come news to such Tonopah peopl,
as have a defective vision.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF NYE COUNTY.
CIRCULATION IN TONOPAH
DON'T PRoCRAsTINATE.

The Importance of an efficient lire
department here is paramount to
every other public consideration.
The demand for better sanitary con
ditions is also an urgent one, but it
is a question comparatively easy OF
solution, and while its urgency is not
in any way lost sight of, the fact re-
mains that provision for a fire de
partment should come before that of
n other. That it should not have
received the attention which is its
due, long ere this, is surprising when
the attendant risk is considered.
Tonopah has not the excuse of a
shortage Of funds, as there is no
doubt whatever that there are
numerous ways by which the money
necessary for the purpose could be
raised. The fact that we have no
fire protection is due to the failure
of some public spirited man, in whom
the community has confidence, to
come to the front with a proposition
for the establishing of a department,
There are dozens OF such men here,
any one of whom could bring the
people together and get this very
troublesome matter settle witt
little delay, If they will only do it. A
call for a public meeting on the sub
ject would be certain to receive a
large attendance, and it is equal,
certain that the result would b.
highly satisfactory.
The matter is doubtless being pu
off from day to day by many, in th'
hope that someone else will take tn,
initiative, aud in the meantime tn,
entire business interests OF the tow
are being je%opardized.
