HISTORY REPEATS IT.
SELF WITH VARIATIONS

AT the age of thirty six Napoleon
conquered every nation of Europe
and in the battle of Austerltz in
1905 practically brought the con-
tinent under the subjection of the
French Arm.
Then it was that Austria, German
and Russia formed the great coal
ition against France, only to be
beaten in battle until they were CON
PEELED to sue for peace.
England, through the great
strength of her navy, was the only
nation at that time not forced to ac
knowledge Napoleon's rule.

SCHOOL OPENS NEXT.
MONDAY SEPT. 22hO.

Sept ember 21st will be the first
day of school this year. The first
day is always one Of interest to
the little folks. There is an inter
est of Little different sort for
the older ones and the teachers.
But all have had a good rest and
this year Should go eff on a bound
The grounds are very uniny,iting
and the school conditions will be
bad for awhile. There must be some
sacrifice on the part of all. The bes
part of all is that we cain look for
ward to better things when we
move into the new home that is
being prepared for US. The more
complete it becomes the better it
appears.
The Extra schools are now ON a
basis of solidarity as far as meet
the state requirements is conceg.n-
ed. We are fully accredited, the
course of study is appraved, and
we have been designated as a, Nor
mail Training high school. 1t has
taken years to bring it UP to this
point and there ale still many de-
fects to remedy, es. ec.ally in equip
mant and library fscillties.
One of the prina:pa things requir
ed of a school is strong force
of teachers. The beard is bending
every effort to- secure the very best
prepared and succe ssful teach ers
that can be obtained. The corps
this year is exceptionally strong.
.s~Rarents who do mot insist upon
their children doing work Of the
school. and doing 1T regularly and
consistently, are working an IRE
parable INJURY upon those whom
they have brought into the world.

The Slavonic nations numbered
abo Ut eighty million people and
occupied about third of the area
OF Europe. No evidence exists as to
the time at which the Slavs entered
Europe, but their waves of immi-
grafton We're later than Celtic
Graco.- ,ltalic and Teutonic.
The origin of the name Slav is
uncertain. II has been derived
from Slavo, a word; Slavs termed
from slavo dumb, "wordless." So
many were reduced to servitude
that their name become synonym.
They finally became civilized and
accepted Christianity. They laid the
foundation of the power which
developed into Russian empire. Te
tonic people now applied to High
Germans Included Upper and Middle
Germany, Switzerland and Austria.
The Low Germans include Fris-
ians the Plattdentch, the Dutch
the E.emings, The English descend
ed sro.,: the saxo 8, Angles etc.
and settled in Britain.
The scandinayians are the Nor
wegia1s, swedes, Danes and Ice
lanuers.
