Come, let us live for our children.

All SIN Is virtue uneVOlVed.
Miss Nora Shaw called Monday on
business and pleasure. She has just
finished her school in the Wide Awake
district. She is working hard on her
reports to make them accurate in ev-
cry respect, We surely appreciate the
reports that come In all o. X. and If
teachers only knew it, they get a
credit for every excellent report thew
sent in.
Mrs. Elizabeth Rossiter, teacher Of
piano, voice and harmony, made us a
pleasant call Monday morning. Shs
comes from the land Of our birth,
Texas She hopes to get share of
the musical patronage of the city.
Misses Boldly and Davis made us a
pleasant call Saturday. They were
Notwithstanding, and we are glad
to state we had what they wanted.
The members of the graduating
class in the Barnes High School of
this city who took the Normal course
wrote on an examination sent out by
the state for certificates last Friday
and Saturday. Some Of the questions
were easier than those asked the
Common School graduates, while some
were more difficult. They were exam
ined in eight branches while the boys
and girls in the Common Schools were
required to pass in eleven branches.
Next year agriculture will be added
to the list for those taking the Com
mon School diploma examination.
We had the pleasure of a short visit
from Representative Melvin Wheeler
the past week.
We hope the graduating class from
this city will accept our thanks for
an invitation to their graduating ex-
ercises next Friday evening. We glad
ly accept the invitation to be pres
emit.
Hugh Bunting of District No 10
and Vergne Harnden and Hiram Jar
ret, two pupils from District q, call
ed to talk over their grades and tell
us what they were planning to do
next year. We are glad to see them
want to push on and not think they
know it all simply because they have
graduated. Such boys are worth some
thing to Seward county and they are
not the only ones. We could name
many more who already have ideals
of what they are going to do and be.
And best of all, they want to be the
best they are capable Ola scientific
farmer, professional banker teach
er or preacher who can 'deliver the
goods" as we'll as draw a salary.
Now that parents, schools and col
leges have turned their attention to-
ward raising and educating a better
crop of boys and girls, this world is
going to be better place to live in
and the millennium is not far distant.
AS we have said at the beginning OF
these notes, "All sin is virtue I'M
evolved, ""Release the Angel from the
Clod," $50, love thy brother, back to
God" "And then behold each prob
lem solved" Love is, always was,
and always will be, the greatest thing
in the world.
The Commissioners met the first of
the week to open the bids for the new
county Jail. All the bids were too
high and the commissioners have is
sued a call for new bids. We wonder
ed as the contractors walked in and
out of the court house Monday and
Tuesday If in the unknowable future
any of the more than 1900 children
enrolled in the Seward county schools
would ever go astray and have to be
taken to this new jail-and If so, who
or what would be to blame, the home,
the school, the church? the parent,
the teacher, the preacher? If my boy
or girl, or your boy or girl walk in
paths that lead to this new JAIL who
or what Is to blame? A chain is no
stronger than its weakest link and q
man or woman are no stronger than
their weakest trait or characteristic.
Let us all register vow, God help us,
that every child coming under our in
huence, on the street, in business, in
the church, home or school shall never
walk in paths that lead to this new
Jail, and let us all pray that it will
forever remain silent witness that
right thinking and right doing pay in
the long run.
Friday afternoon we were INVITED
to grades 3, 4, 5, s, to spend a happy
hour and eat lunches. We went to
the Sd grades little party at Mrs. An
derson's home, accompanied by our
friend, Miss Henline, and Rev. Ward
