The Normal Department has
organized a Literary Society,
with officers elected from among
their own members and we ex-
pect much good to result to young
people from their work in this
direction. Its object is to train
it's members in speaking to audi
ences, and to acquaint them more
with good literature.
Their first open session will be
held in the college chapel Friday
night, Jan. 81, and all the friends
of the school both in town and in
the country are cordially invited
to come and enjoy pleasant
evening free of any charge what
ever.
Hoping that the readers of the
COURIER will be glad to receive
this little message fromthe Nor
NAL Department, we wish to be
remembered as the friend of the
boys and girls of the Mountains.

THE WORK OF
A REAL SCHOOL
Good Teachers Are as Essential

INTEREST The COMMUNITY,

The Wonderful Work Of Pupils and In
struotors at the Thorn Hill School.
Children Take a Real Interest In
Their Studies.
Perched upon hill which overloohs
a number Of houses that appear to be
playing leapfrog in their endeayor to
get into the valley is Thorn Hill
school. In these homes there are no
rich people, and many of the girls
and mothers are forced to go into the
bottllng works to help swell the Satur-
day pay roll Naturally one would
not expect a splendid building in such
a community nor well kept grounds
nor a strong school spirit. But all of
these things seem to be in the forming
at present.
The exterior OF the school is rather
shabby. Some palings are missing
from the fence, there is no walk, and
the doors are SCARED. Inside the
desks and furniture are mostly old,
but there are decorations, and they are
child made throughout. The white

OF. the large and many colored beads,
that are strung on heavy cords, Is that
they are made from wall paper. The
children had got huge books Of sam
pies of wall paper, cut the paper into
strips and rolled them into beads.
A line Of nails in the door frame
showed brave display Of baskets Of
all shapes and sizes. There was no
effort at any slavish pattern, for each
child had made basket the size and
shape he or she wished. That the
work has proved fascinating is shown
by the fact that half of recess time
is usually voluntarily given to this
work. As the boys have become adept
IN the use OF willow they have been
urged TO make small stools at home
and bring them to school to be topped
with strong and beautiful basketry.
The teachers have realized the full
value of this work, for they are ar.

heard a voice from heaven cal ling
"Come unto me sweet child"
listened and heard again,
In accents soft and mild.
1t was the Savior's tender call,
Telling your child to come,
And then He saw it wise and best.
To take your little one.
The call was brief, and must he go
And live with Christ above?
Full well we know he is at rest,
Ia heaven where all is love.
Yet it IS hard to give him up,
Your own, your precious child;
And cover up that lovely face,
That always was so mild.
And hide away from mortal view,
Those soft and loving eyes:
That now are closed in deaths repose
Beneath the azure sky.
And never hear sweet Earl's voice?
Oh never hear 1t morel
That when you mediate and think,
Your hearts are troubled sore.
Those little hands re ched out to you,
SO oft IN childish gIee;
lie still to dly-,hey never will
Again leach oit to thee.
And those little feet so oft were heard,
Pdttering TO and fro;
Are heard no more, they, too, are still,
Oh can all this be so
The pra,tling Of that little tongue,
Is hu he'd in silence nowl
And may.you LCncelorth from this time
Make uuto God a vow,
The Lord he took your little child,
He did it oil Tor good,
Perhap, to dlaw your hearts to Him,
No other way you would.
| know you miss your little Earl,
You miss hun in the room,
You miss him at the table,
Your home is filled with gloom.
You miss hun with his playmates,
You miss him about the yard,
You miss his little tenderness,
know it is so hardl
Remember oh, remember,
. lie is in purer CLINE;
The Lord lie only gave him
Unto you for a time,
He is little treasure;
Laid up for you, think,
oh, may you Of Christ's precious love
AT once partake and drink,
You then can one day see him,
There robed in beautiful white,
You will meet TO part no never
In that land so fair and bright.

LIQUOR and Christmas.

The following from the Big
Sandy Monitor is a little late, but
it is true enough for any time of
the year.
Temperate? Yes, like thun-
der! Over three hundred gallons
of liquor have been put off at the
Prestonsburg depot! A pretty
recordl A blot on the history of
Floyd county! Men who have
the appearance of Christians
have been seen toting their Jug
away from the express Office.
Many a mother has had to gaze
upon the distorted face of her son
thru this Christmas. Her heart
has been saddened by this fact
in no small degree. She knows
that she went down into the
very jaws of death to give this
son the life that he is so using to
destroy hers. 1t is a shame and
a disgrace that we have young
men who are worse than hogs.
A hog wont get drunk, and some
boys will.
We have local option territory
and yet one station along the C.
& 0. railroad has brought 300
gallons of the broth of hell to
Floyd county's citizens that they
might, in keeping with a desc
Grated ideal, celebrate the birth
of their Savior. Wonder what
the mob of about three hundred
who met at the depot would have
thought if Gabriel should have
gotten off the train and sounded
the march for the judgement bar?
(Some of 'em would have tried
to PERSUADE him to wait till Brad
ley got the jug.) What are we
coming to, anyway? Are we all
going to the devil, or are some
of us just finding out that
we have been headed that way
all the time? You may ask the
cause of this promiscuous and
usually common drinking. You
need not. 1t is prophecy being
fulfilled: IF we SOW the wind,
we shall reap the whirlwind, "
Nothing truer was ever put in
print.
! Just look back and around you.
Many of the teachers who give
instruction to your children get
drunk as looms and you know it.
His teacher before him was q

men who take their dram to the

School Notes.

TWo-HUNDRED -SIXTY-TW0 pu-
pills now in school and more COM
ing each week to swell the num-
ber. Our aim is THREE HUN
DRED, and we must reach that
number. We now have one of
the best working schools in this
end of the state, and we must
continue to impress upon the
minds of the young men and.wo-
men of this mountain section that
here is their opportunity. The
normal department is so pushed
with work that it must begin the
days work ahead of time by re-
citing one lesson before the re-
mainder of the school has reach
the dollhouse. We have the
two departments County and
State Certificate Courses-both
as we'll represented as we expect
ed and yet we have have new re-
cruits to both each week. 1t
look now that our fondest expec-
tations the will be more than re-
allied in these two departments.
The young men and women
most of them-seem to know why
they are here and what they are
doing, and as a result they are
making each minute tell. There
is a certificate at the other end
of the school term waiting only
those who keep it ever in mind,
and work with all their might
toward that end. But we note a
tendency on the part of some
very few to forget the goal in
sight, and to incline their atten-
tion toward "a sparkling compan-
ion more than toward their stud
les. To such we can only
say: Cut it out or go home. We
can not afford to convert the

SERIES OF ACCIDENTS
Several Iangdon Residents Suffer
Bruises From Horses Kicks.

Langdon, n. D.. Sept. o6.-In addi-
ton to the many minor accidents that
have been suffered by people during
h threshing season, no less than
four persons have been kicked by
horses during the past week, somf
with very serious results. Walter.
keating. aged IA years, son of James
keattng, was perhaps the most seri-
ously hurt of all, as for several days
his recovery was somewhat in doubt.
IT seems thai he had put a blind
bride onto n Of the best old farm
horses they had, and being accustom-
ed to the open bride, when Walter
stepped up behind the horse rather
suddenly. it kicked him in the abdo-
men with very serious results.
He was blowing at the time and
lay helpless in the field until the other
blowing outfit had gone nearly around
the field. His most serious injury
seemed to be of an internal nature.
but he is now on the road to w
Another case of a similar nature
was that of of the employees on
the Louis Melland farm in the vicin-
ty Of Iona. His injuries are also
of an internal nature and his physi-
clans are not at all certain that he
will recover.
Mrs. s. J.. Koehmstedt Of Mt. Car
mel was kicked In the shoulder by a
horse and Mrs. Robert Stevenson Of
Langdon was kicked in the arm by a
colt. but sas no bones were broken,
they will soon recover, although their
injuries were very painful for a time.

FaverSham'S Revival of Julius
Caesar" Ranks With the Best

Students of the drama owe much
TO William Favcrsham. His revival
of Julius Caesar" is one of the great
est productions in recent years, and
certainly it ranks with the best pres
cntations Of S~hakespeare's immortal
tragedy.
Actors with the courage of their
Shakespearcan convictions are few.
And whcn one like William Faver-
sham joins the ranks, the future of
the classic stage in America is secure.
Caesar" is but the first Of his
own. he has given us a most wonder
full production. Best of all. Julius
Caesar" is but the titirst of his
S~hakcspearean REVEALS. When he re-
turns to New York. he and his wife.
Julie Opp. will present several more
OF the Bard's plays. among which will
he "EomeO and Juliet"
MIR. Faversham's production OF
Julius Caesar" is elaborate and inn
pressive. The scenic investi,ure is all
that could be desired: the mob scenes
arc handled %skillfully and artistically.
and throughout is n careful attention
to detail.
Mr.. Faversham himself is the one
disappointment. His Marc Antony is
not convincing. Somehow he misses
the vital spark. His Antony becomes
almost a puppet: the virility, the hui
the depth of character-ail
are lacking. In his hands, the Forum
scene drags: Antony's wonderful
speech becomes but a defamation.
Good declaiming it is, but it lacks the
soul-stirring qualities. So excellent

GRAIN UNCLEAN

Fessenden, N. D., Sept. c6.-The
complaints Of weedy and foul grain
have been nor pronounced and gen.
eral this fall than in many years. The
elevator men have locked the grain
heavily and the farmers have protest.
ed bitterly. though usually admitting
the grain was far from being clean.
Commission men have urged that
shippers clean their grain before
marketing it. and in this manner
avoid paying freight on noxious weeds,
secure a higher grade of wheat and
retain the screenings, which have
some value for hog feed.
Farmers who are we'll supplied with
granary roo are generally doing this.
Those without granaries who are COM
PEELED to sell direct from the separ-
ator have no opportunity for cleaning
their product and r compelled to
suffer heavy losses from dockages. The
conditions are general all over the
state.
Upham. N. D.. Sept. 2s.-For the
purpose Of getting seine value from
the waste grain on the fields and for
the more important intention of
cleaning their land" from noxious
weeds. Many farmers have agreed to
buy sheep in Montana and feed them
here. Some will merely feed and
fatten the sheep for the market. but
others plan to retain their sheep and
range them on certain portions Of the
farm zach year until the entire land is
cleared Of noxious weeds.
