Normal School commencement

Greeley, Colo.-The eighteenth an
nual commencement of the State Nor
NAL school was held Thursday morn
ing. DR.. Snyder announced that the
prizes offered by Governor Buchtel
had been won by Miss Clarice Philips
of Denver and Miss Lola Taylor OF
Nancos. The governors letter read
Il award the prizes for scholarship,
character and loyalty to Miss Clarice
Philips of Denver and Miss Lola Tay-
lor of Mancos. Will you kindly hand
the young women my checks as the ex-
ercises with my best wishes. also
send greetings to all the class, with
much cheer, hoping that they may
ever grow in usefulness in the glori-
Gus vocation of the teacher"
Dr. Snyder then read the names of
the class. saying that they had been
recommended for graduation by the
examining board. There were nearly
$50 graduates in the various branches
of normal work.
Hon. Richard Broad. president of
the board, presented the diplomas. He
said that 1t seemed to him that each
graduating class looked younger than
the preceding one and that he hoped
each member would keep in heart the
spirit of eternal youth in taking up the
responsibilities of life.
DR.. Snyder prefaced his remarks by
saying that they were not new: that
they contained old truths perhaps In
new settings. His theme was the at
tainment of broad vision and the real
ization of ideals.
Hon. Frank C. Goudy then made the
address of the day, saying:
THE good teacher is the progress
sive one. would impress on each of
you to think and study daily. What
ever your future. devote one hour a
day to learning of the best wisdom of
the age. Mental growth should not
stop with graduation day.
I'VE are proud of the reputation our
young state has made in educational
lines. II stands ninth in rank of liter
acy with other states of the Union; II
employs 5000 school teachers. has
100000 school children and spends
$4.5OO,00O annually for school pur-
poses.''

All in vain. The judge ruled that it
did bear on the case. and Williston
picked up the thread of his story.

The woodcock is a migratory bird.
1t winters in the southern states and
comes to the north In summer to rear
its young. Some of the birds. how
ever. It must be said. are practically
resident throughout the year In some 10.
calities of the south.
Disdaining the wanderers life. they
build their homes in neigh borhoods to

short lives. In winter the woodcock is
in the southern states. 1t is sold for
food In every winter resort In the
southland. and It is shipped northward
to supply the winter markets of the
great cities.
Harassed all winter through with
dog and gun. the woodcocx takes up its
northern flight early In the spring, pos
sibly hoping that far away It may get
rest from persecution. 1t Is an Idle
hope. Though there are laws IN many
of the northern states which prohibit
the spring shooting of woodcock. the
birds are killed in great numbers by
men who go out ostensibly to hunt
5nipe and plover. which the wisdom"
of the law makers allows to be killed
1t time when they most need protec-
ton. The woodcock often nests early
so early that spring floods frequently
drown out its low lying habitation.

wars against rapid increase in the
