EUREkA'S CELEBRATION
Committee In Charge of the Preparations and Arrange
ments for the Celebration Here on the Fourth Report
Good Progress and a Hearty Cooperation All
Along the Line

Plans for the celebration in Eureka on July 4h are we'll under
way. The Committee of Arrangements held a meeting last Wednes-
day evening for the purpose of discussing and finally settling on
plans of amusement 1t was definitely settled and arrangements
made to challenge the Austin baseball team for a game. Dispatches
have been sent to them, and all indications are that they will accept
the challenge.
The Lobster Club Band will give open air concerts throughout
the day. This organization is we'll known throughout Central Ne
vada and may be depended upon to render conventional, as we'll as
other high class selections, to the entire satisfaction of all who may
have the good fortune to hear and enjoy its music.
The amusements will start with a Grand Parade at 10 a M
The parade will be made up of various organizations, together with
floats representing the various business establishments. From the
interest manifest among the organizations and establishments it may
be safely vouched that it will be of a highly meritorious character.
Immediately after the parade a miners drilling contest will
be staged. The miners will give a good demonstration of the fl
Gent handling of the drill and single jack, for which Nevada miners
are known throughout the western country.
After the drilling contest has closed, a recess of one hour will
be given for luncheon.
Att p m. sharp the lovers of the National game will repair to
to the ball grounds to see what will perhaps prove to be the strong
est game played on the Eureka grounds in a decade. The Eureka
boys are working out" every day, which insures a high state of ef
6ciency.
After the ball game is over there will be a race in which any,
or all men are invited to enter. The one who wins the race will re-
ceive a valuable prize. This race will be Immediately followed by
a ladies' race, boys sack race, and girls foot race. A valuable
prize will be awarded the winner of each race.
A prize will be awarded the winner of a contest in the Italian
game of "Boccia."
Next in order will be a donkey race. Donkey races are always
very interesting to the spectators, but usually somewhat aggravating
to the riders by reason of the d%onkeys snail-like habits.
Immediately after the donkey race will be a horse race. This
is one of the chief sports of the Nation and is interesting to all alike.
The final contest of the day will be a mountain climbing con-
test The start will be made from Main street and will extend to
a given point on the mountain immediately east of town. The first
one making the round trip will be declared the winner.
The entire day will be given over to hilarity, fun, sports, amuse-
ments, good time and good cheer. Eureka invites all of Eureka and
adjoining counties to join in celebrating this day.

iitional matters of interest, the main
points are set forth below:
Educational Growth
1t is inspiring to think that after three
centuries OF world-Rreat achievement
the school house seems to be only at the
beginning of its career. 1t takes on new
strength. 1t adjusts itself to new tasks
without abandoning its original purpose;
it is in our day equipping itself for the
rev and wonderful work demanded by
the changing conditions Of the times.
Ia most of the cities of the United States
the evolution of the school house is APP
parent. The school house is becoming
4 workshop in which the industries and
activities OF life are in evidence. Ii Is
becoming the social center, the recrea-
tional center of community life.
The New Work
While books are most useful in school
work, we must not be slaves to text
hooks. We must more and more give
our attention to the world outside OF the
text books, to things that concern the
community aud the State; to the things
that give insight into and preparation
for the things of real life. To this n
our work in the text books should be d.
r .cr.d so far as possible on the lines OF
the industry Of the community in which
we teach-its business. its problems. It's
life.
Industrial arr, and something OF do
nestle sci nee and of manual training
are rec, ivlrg attention in large numbers
OF school-; aud commercial branches
and elementary agriculture are Claiming
a large share of attention.
Character Building
Not less important than book knowi-
edge and industrial training is charac'
ter building. Without this there can
,e no right education. Right habits OF
seryice-of living, of thinking. OF acting
and of doing day after day through tine
wears. constitute character building. are
The agencies by which n through
which a good character is Determined.
And no teaching is real teaching tnat
does not tend toward good character
building.
