HIGH SCHOOL GRADE
HEAR GREAT SERMON

A joureny to Mesopotamia was the
theme Of President Yields baccalau-
reate sermon to the members of the
1914 class of the Moorhead high
school, at the Congregational church
last night. For his text Mr.. Weld
used Genesis xiv, 10. After a schol-
a, scholarly and instructive exposition
of the very interesting Old Testament
story the latter was used to portray
quite prominently the loyalty, integ-
rity and whole hearted service man
is capable of. The story also contra
diets the belief, which has come down
fro milne immemorial Of the weak
ness and lack Of good in human ma
ture. Closing his review of the story
and citing the lessons to be drawn
from t MI. Weld said that the world
has been too apt to doubt the worth
Of human nature and to think it pos
sessed no good, but in truth man has
high ideals and is constantly work.
ing toward greater and better things.
The sacred edidce was crowded to
excess and even the additional seating
provided was wholly inadequate to &C.
commodate all who wished to hear the
sermon. Assisting in the service was
Rev. Francis Boone, pastor of Grace
service for this special occasion. Mr.
Boone made the prayer OF invocation
and the musical features for the serv-
ice were supplied by a quartet made
up of Miss Margaret Huntoon, Mrs. e
J. Wheeler and Messrs MagilI and Per-
ley, who gave beautiful renditions OF
two anthems by Dudley. Buck. Tie
Strain Upraise, and 1t is a Good THING
to Give Thanks Unto the Lord, Psalm

Young Schumacher is the son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Schumacher of
Moorhead. Mr.. Schumacher is the pro
prietor of a meat market on N. P.
avenue in Fargo.
He was under. age when he enlisted
and his mother had him released on
Feb. 2, last, but on account Of the de-
tails in getting the release through the
navy department and the starting of
the imbroglio later, his release was
not effected until after the battle OF
Vera Cruz. in which he participated.
Young Schumacher describes the
battle most accurately and has much
to tell his friends and companions here
Of the engagement that brought the
Mexican situation to a focus.

Moorhead Ministries Well Received

Detroit Record: THE show was ex-
c~ellent; far beyond the realms Of the
average amateur performance"
This quite fully expresses the gen
eral consensus Of opinion regarding
Tho performance given In the Detroit
opera house last Friday evening by
the Royal League minstrel troupe, OF
Moorhead.
For an amateur organization the
Moorhead folks have anything eCilpsed
that has ever been seen In Detroit
and there was an air Of dignity per-
vading the entire performance that
both surprised and delighted the au-
dience. The singing throughout was
exceptionally good. and much regret
was expressed that a severe cold pre-
vented Arthur Paulsrud from singing
but one verse Of his solo, Ship OF
My Dreams"
Milo Flaten and Ralph Torson, as
end men, amply filled the parts, and
Mr.. Flaten's monologue act, AN Ora
ton Copied From Gov. Eberhart," was
one of the hits of the evening.
Garfield H. Rustad. as interlocutor;
and Oscar Rustad, as director, had all
the earmarks Of professionals, and
left nothing to be desired IN any way.
The hits at local parties were clean
ard productive of much laughter.
While practically every number on the
program was of high character, yet
among those which appealed to the
writer, and a large number with whom
we discussed the performance, might
be mentioned the following:
Walter Wright, in "A Terrible
Dream" H. Houglum, in when !
Dream Of Old Erin" the rope act of
Harry Miller and Sherman Wright;
Milo Flaten, in monologue; Mr.. and
Mrs. Oscar Rustad, in the latest
dances; w. Wright. A. Paulsrud. H.
.O'Reilly and L. W. Rusness, in a rag
quartet stunt.
II the performance as a whole fell
short of being satisfactory in any de-
tail, we have yet to hear Of It! and
the Moorhead Royal Leaguers may
we'll register their Detroit trip as be-
ing one that left behind it nothing
but unalloyed pleasure and a remem-
brance tina will prove a royal well
come should they ever care to return
for a similar visit.

Books That BOYS Like.

Harper's Weekly: Never without it's
interest is the question Of what books
different individuals would choose as
fayorites. Recently We have examined
the choice recorded for reading in a
boys school. The ten most popular
among he masters we're: The Bible,
Shakespeare, T~e2nyson's poems, Les
Miserables," Plutarch's Lives. life of
Napoleon, Emerson's essays, Kipling's
poems. "Middlemarch' and Gibbons
Rome.
The Sixth form liked: The Bible,
THE Coun: of Monte Cristo," The
Three Musketeers, Lorna Doone," "A
Tale Of Two Cities" 'Ivanhoe," Treas
ure Island" Worlds Almanac. The
Arabian Nights and History of the
World
The choice Of the youngsters in the
Second form: The Bible, Treasure
Island" THE Last of the Mohicans,'
~"1vanhoe" Tom Sawyer" "Huckle-
berry Finn Kidnapped" Robinson
Crusoe'" "Oliver Twist" and David
Copperfeld."
The influence of prescribed reading
is, Of course, tremendous, and there
can be traced also some of the in
fuence of general tradition, but there
remain some light on the taste of
persons 80 situated. The list of one
of the individual masters includes:
The Bible, Shakespeare. Tennyson's
poems, Chaucer, "M:ddlemarch"
Great Expectations" Burton's
"Anatom Of Melancholy" Emerson's
essays. life of Napoleon and Treas
ure Island"
Z. We do not really think much Of anv
of these lists, but. then, the boys and
their masters very likely would think
little of ours. 1t would prefer Words
worth to Tennyson or Kiplins. Dor
Qutxte or Wilhelm Meister to the
novels mentioned, and if the island
were very. barren, we should not i'm
probably include alice Of Wonder.
