Our common school; oh save that
name
Forever from disgrace.
Oh, raise it high in prominence;
Give it an honored place.
The common school, oh, let it stay
To educate the youth;
1t will not wrong or error teach,
But plain and honest truth.
Oh, guard that institution we'll,
1t is our country's pride;
Within this much-loved land of ours
Let it in peace reside;
And garland it with letters bright
Which plainly shall declare:
Our bulwark is the common school;
Modest it if you dare.

needing no introdu ction to a Min
nesota audience"
Mr.. Bede's address was char
acter1stically humorous, being in
terspersed with several stories
which brought laughter from the
audience. The main idea of the
speech was that progress in civil
lization brings new problems for
the people to solve, emphasizing
his statement that "Time is the
most important factor in settling
public problems.
In presenting the diplomas to the
members of the graduating class,
J. P. Lair, president of the board
of education, delivered a short
speech in which he estimated the
cost of educating each member of
the class and ended by exhorting
them to be a credit to the COM
munity.

accompanied by Miss Nellie Shannon
on the piano. Miss Stanton's play.
ing was beautiful, her execution of
the difficult Torch dance being
exceptionally fine.
The salutatory and valedictory
both showed careful preparation and
study. Miss Ethel Knox, salutator-
ian, displayed much accurate knowl-
edge of her subject, Forest Preser-
vation." The valedictorian, Olaf
Hondrum, delivered fine essay on
Robert Burns"
The address of the evening was
made by Honorable ]. Adam Bede,

THE COMMON SCHOOL
BY 'Doc.")

There's many a stately edifce
With grand and stately walls,
And many an institution rare
With academic halls,
And normal schools and colleges
Where stern professors rule,
But dearer far than all to me
I count the common school.
The common school for one and al
A helping hand extends,
1t counts the poor as we'll as rich
Among it's list of friends.
1t nothing knows of cast or sect
(God grant it never may;)
But may it's record be unstained
TO many a distant day.
