Among the progressive steps taken
by President Nelson to place the col

promises more pleasure and profit
than the course OF splendid lectures
which he has secured for the coming
season. The course will begin about
the middle OF October and the OPEN
ing lecture will be delivered BY the
eminent platform fayorite, Dr. s. A.
Steele, formerly, Of Meridian, Miss,
now president Of the Training School
at Ada, /. r., for which Ada recently
raised a bonus Of $4,000 to secure,
Or. Steele is we'll known all over
our country as a powerful master Of
both pathos and humor, who inyaria-
bly, mingles your laughter with your
tears. He is sure to win warm
place in the hearts Of our people.
The second Of the series Will be by
no less distinguished a parsonage than
DIR. ]. G. Morris, presidential OF Central
College, Fayette, Mo. There is no
more eloquent or engaging speaker
on the list Of any lyceum bureau than
Dr. Morris, who is also conceded to
be one of the foremost educators OF
the state Of Missouri.
These men and the others whose
names are not yet ANNOUNCED, have
lectured far and vide, at the highest
prices, but as each one is particular
ly interested in, and strongly devoted
ed to educational work, President
Nelson has secured their services prac-
tically for actual expenses. The pro-
ceeds from these lectures will be used
toward the equipment OF the library
and labratory, both Of whichare bad
ly needed. These lectures will be
charged for at the usual rate and
every friend of the institution will
doubtless deem it pleasure TO con-
tribute this small fee to the support
of so laudable an enterprise.
The following announcement calcu-
lated to arouse the ambition Of every
pupil was this week made at Willie
Halsell College by the president, who
is expending every energy Of both
body and mind to make this the most |
pleasant and profitable year in the
history of that tinstftutiOn.
In order that no incentive toward |
the awakening Of a sufficient spirit Of
emulation and friendly rivalry, may |
be lacking, he has secured the offer |
of the following medals;
Medal No. /. Is for the pest decla-
nation by pupils Of the Primary and
intermediate departments and is Of
fered by the ministers Of the various
denominations of Vinita.
Medal 10. 2. For the best decla
nation by the pupils Of the Academ-
ic department is offered by the board |
of trustees of the College.
Medal No. 8. For the best general |
average and is opened to all pupils Of
every grade. This medal is the indi-
vidual offer of Presiding Elder J. B.
Mcdonald. All the medals will be
handsome and beside will carry a
meaning and an honor we'll worth |
striving for.
Such work as the above should be |
and we think is being appreciated by |
our people in general, the patrons. |
present and prospective in particular.
And that appreciation should be
shown by the warm and unanimous
support Of the school; By patronage |
where possible, BY at least kind words |
OF encouragement where otherwise
We are glad to state that the attend |
