COUNTY GRADUATING
EXERCISES ARE HE'LL
Evelyn Webb Wins Place in
9Th Grade DeCldmdtOry
Contest.

The Jefferson Banner gives the
following account Of county gradual
ing exercises held at Jefferson last
Saturday:
The, County Graduating exercises
last Saturday were favored by ideal
weather and the attendance was
therefore most gratifying. The young
people and their friends arrived on
the early trains and with teams
until by nine O'Clock when the city was
filled with earger and expectant
children ready for the contest and
confident of victory.
SIN the forenoon, beginning at ten
o'clock the rural school and 9Th grade
declamatory contests were held and
all the contestants did exceedingly
we'll, so that the task of the judges
was most difficult one. Places were
awarded as follows: Rural Declama-
tory Contest-1st, Marie Royce, Fort
Atkinson End, Gertrude Hix, Rome
Bird, Lenora Henke, Aztalan.
"Eighth Grade Declamatory Con-
test-1st, MaJorie Lane. Jefferson
End, Marie Clauer. Fort Atkinson
Bird, Evelyn Webb, Watertown.
"After the conclusion of the de-
clamatory contest basket picnic was
enjoyed in the court house park. In
the afternoon the spelling contest took
place which was spirited one, about
fifteen contestants spelling all of the
1900 words given in the list, practically
correct. Prizes however, were
awarded as follows: LIST, Myrtle
Hooper, Palmyra; End, Rodney Slagg,
Koshkonong; 3rd, Brnice Beischel,
Johnson Creek. Diplomas were then
presented to the graduates from the
different sections of the county.
During the exercises excellent
music was furnished by Anhalt' s
orchestra. A vocal solo by Miss Stella
Kerschensteiner and duet by the
Misses Hager were received with
great applause and the chorus singing
by the Eth and 9Th grades of the
Jefferson schools was plesing addi-
ton to the program. Although the
exercises were a grand success and
the day, 80 happily and pleasantly
spent will linger long in the memories
of the young people whom We had the
pleasure of entertaining in our city.
But above all the exercises gave
evidence that our county schools are
making rapid and gratifying pro-
gress, and that we have reason to
feel proud of their work.

speaker stopped, as far as that par

the increased tendency toward educa-

theme of Dean Henry was that con-

increase of pc oulation. He spoke of

Inc following rap is taken at the
divorce evil:
1T is self-evident that those hav-
ing charge of the congregation should
give a good example to their congre-
CATION. We here wish to call the
attention to an important matter that
is causing much comment at the pre-
sent time. We have reference TO the
solemnization of marriage. A true
and faithful pastor should not only
demand full conformity with the state
law, but also with the rules laid
down in the scripture concerning
marriage. No Lutheran pastor should
solemnize marriage, when one of the
contracting parties has been divorced
for u reason not mentioned in the Word
of God. The only divorce sanctioned
by the Scripture is for the overt act
of adultery, all others such as cruelty,
incompatibility of temper, non-sup-
port, etc, no causes for divorce
according to Gods Word. All of us
here assembled, both pastors and
lay members. should urge every effort
to put stop to present easy divorce
granting system. Thereby our family
life is in danger of being destroyed.
and the family is the foundation of a
nation. Destroy the family ties, and
you shake the very foundation of a
country.
THE PAROCHIAL SHCOOL.
elm Thesis II, we referred to the
proper Christian way of bringing up
children by teaching them the word
OF God IN parochial school, because
the Word of God commands the church
to feed Christ's lambs. Now We all
know that our public schools give
children first class education in all
worldly matters. Yet they cannot
make use of the Word of God, az the
state has no legal authority of forcing
any kind of religion upon the peo-
pie. Now, although the public school
has so many advantages, if a Christian
comes to the knowledge that the one
thing needed for the childs spiritual
welfare, the IN struction in the World
of God, is missing, Christian must
then act according to the acquired
knowledge and must send his child te
the parochial school.
The same holds good for the whole
congregation. Knowing It's duty
towards the children the congregation
must act, and establish place for the
instruction of children.
A congregation neglecting to pro-
vide good parochial school for the
children of it's members, deprives
them OF the means to grow in faith
and Christian knowledge, and thereby
gives proof of its lack of Christian
earnestness.

because the last assessment was not
paid in time?
So We See that the verdict of
the Word of GOD is this: The secret
societies have many things not in
conformity with the Word of God,
therefore all true Christians should
keep away from them, or if they
belong to one, leave it. True Christ
ian earnestness demands this. So we
