There will be a Good Roads meeting
at Platte. Friday, May 81. at 10
O'Clock a. m. for the purpose ct DIS
cussing the proposed road between
Sioux Falls and Chamberlain. This is
q project thst should be of interest to
the public generally and = good d-lega-
ton from Wagner should attend.
Dante is considering incor porating
as q town. This is q move in the
right direction and one that should re-
ceive the hearty support of the oiti-
zens of the town. Many Improvements
can be secured for a town after inccr-
poration that are impossible before,
and without these necessary improve
ments the growth and development of
the town is seriously impeded..
Last Friday the high school boys
went to Avon and played the high
school team of that city, defeating
them by q score of Is to 9 in spite of
the fact that Avon had the assistance
of FIVE of the first team players. How
ever the tables were turned on the
boys on Wednesday. They went to
Platte and were shut out absolutely,
while the entert ainers romped home
with an ever dozen of tallies. Our
boys made a very poor showing, the er-
rors being the most prominent part of
their game. However they were not
without good excuse. The boys went
up in autos and travelled from z in the
morning until $3.50. They had a good
deal of hard luck and walked u good
bit of the distance, we hear. And to
top it all off they han to 60 out on the
field as soon rs they got there and play
without having time to eat dinner.
Platte will probably play here in the
near future, although they have four
games scheduled for next week. n Of
them being with the strong Academy
team, one with Armour and another
with Bonesteel, and when they come of
course the boys axpet to eve up the
score. We hope the same thing.
The Wagner schools close Friday for
the summer vacation. Some of the
students grduate from the high school
aud their school days will perhaps be
over and h~enceforth will be numbered
with the memories of the past, but the
passing years cannot dim the vivid
colorings with which memory will
adorn their happy school days. What
the future has in store for the gadu-
ates none may say. Their walk may
be in the lowly wales of life's wesry
way. or they may tread the mountain
top, but no matter how near the SOM
nit or base Of the mountain of fame
you will meet n of these graduates,
you will meet with one who is a credit
to society. The others of the students
after the time of vacation Is over will
return refreshed and ready to take up
their studies. and, we trust, impressed
with the knowledge that life requires
q fitness to get the most out of it, and
aspirations that will lead them in seek
ing for that which will mete out Q full
recompense for endeavors put forth.
To the efficiency Of the instructors 10
due . large amount of credit for the
marked of the Wagner schools
during the past year. and it's present
high standard. A more practical, thor
ough and efficient corps Of INSTRUCTORS
would be hard to find. Thoroughness
has been the motto Of our schools
undeT the management Of Prof.
Wright. and will continue 30 to be the
comin~ WAR.
