Notes From Quarry.

Mr.. Ernest Bornemann of Sherwood,
Wis, was a visitor in this burg last
week.
Quite number from here attended
the Valders school entertainment on
Thursday night.
The dedicatory exercises of the new
Quarry school took place last Friday
night. The new school house is large
commodious building, being a one story
structure whose dimensions are 80 "A.
The building faces the east and has two
entrances Besides the schoolroom,
which is large enough to accommodate
about eighty pupils, there are two en-
tries and library room. Under the
entire building is basement which has
two fuel rooms. The basement will be
used az a meeting place for the debat-
ing club which is to be organized soon.
The plans for the building were drawn
by Architect Raeuber of Manitowoc
and Contractor Zorn of Brillion erected
the building for the sum of $4,000. The
school has installed the Wernecke Sys-
tenn Of Ventilation and this, together
with other fixtures, brings up the whole
cost to $24O0. A large crowd was pres
ent for the dedication. There were no
formal ceremonies but addresses We're
given appropriate to the affair. A short
program was rendered by the pupils of
the school and talks were given by the
teacher, j. V. Ledvina, Judge Chloupek,
Principal Christensen, Assemblyman
Ledvina and Supt W. E. Larson. The
teacher in his talk dwelt principally on
attendance, hardness and visiting
schools. Judge Chloupek spoke on the
essentials that were needed to make a
perfect school. Prin. Christensen gave
general talk pertaining to school af-
fairs. Assemblyman Ledvina spoke on
the work the state was doing for the
education of her children and emphasiZ.
ed the fact that the school surroundings
should be- made beautiful. The last ad.
dress was given by Supt. w. E. Larson
who spoke on The Law of Develop
ment" as it applies to education. He
spent some time in showing why the
compulsory education law was passed,
citing the fact that several of the great
est nations today have attained their
power by having compulsory education
laws in force. All the addresses prov.
ed very interesting and instructive.
The Ever Ready Quartet, sometimes
known as the Never Ready, made their
first appearance before the public at the
exercises at the Quarry school last Fri
day night, They sang "Juanita, I'm
Dreaming Now of Halle and Good
Night Ladies' and acquitted themselves
creditably, 1t is with pleasure that the
Quartet welcomes the news of a Glee
Club being organized at Valders, for
they believe themselves fully capable Of
challenging the Valders Glee Club to
sing. If at any time the quartet from
our neighboring burg wish to enter into
a contest the Ever Ready" will be as
it's name suggests
