knowledge VS.. Diplomas.

The Falls City High School stu.
dents and their friends have watched
with much interest the attack that
Rev. Iudden of the State Normal
board made on Earl Cline, '05. prin.
cipal of the High School at Sidney,
Nebraska, Because Earl request
ed some of the members of the Peru
Alumni Association. Of which Earl
is president, to write t two mem
bers of the board commencing them
for their stand for the retention OF
Crabtree as president Of the Normal,
the Reverend Mr.. Ludden of this
beard took it upon himself 10 write
Earl "A threatening letter, intimating
HAT the Normal board would revoke
his diploma for his efforts in behalf
OF Grabtree. To this. Cline wrote a
defiant reply, daring them to re
woke his diploma. This the Normal
board has not done and probably will
not for Ludden now sees the folly and
iudiscretion Of his course. Even
though they threatened to take away
his diploma. Cline stood by his guns
and kept up the fight.
Earl is a ready debater. a good
writer and scholar. aud well liked
by all school men and other gentle
men over the state. Ludden being a
weak politician, and knowing this.
when he found he could not bull
doze Cline, dropped the matter. But
even if Cline's diploma had been re.
voked, what difference would it make
A diploma is just a little insignifi-
cant paper that you get for paying a
few dollars, which says you have fin
ished the course allotted 10 you.

word, from beginning to end, was
helpful advice. Truths were pre-
scented in a new light, the most con

ton of the results of c%ultivating the
ability of concentrating ones mind.

said he, toward one end-that of
being able to concentrate my mind
on one thing, and on one thing only.

touched on the value of an education.
"One mar does about as much think

made and Kirby had scarcely entered
the corn field when the entire field was
surrounded by continuous line of
