school library, says" AS no city library
is to be had in this present generation,
why not have good school library?
This year there have been no more than
thirteen pupils who have taken books
from the library and they have mostly
been Sophomore. What is the reason?
Why don't the other classes come in
to get books? We want new books and
better system. Interest in reading
can be aroused, but not by the present
condition of the library. Plans for
next year have been made which will
remedy most of these conditions and
build up real library in our school,"
New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1915-05-26

been reduced this year to five in number.
There are very few, however, who be-
lieve that there ought to be any more
of these dry and undressing programs,
as members of the school and faculty
call them. Perhaps they are perfectly
right in saying this, but surely they
must have some reason. The pro-
grams are the same old story over and
over again. "A decided lack of interest
is shown, especially toward the end of
the year. The only thing which has
made Roadway is the debate. They
were usually called the tiresome part
but this year the case was quite different.
More spirit and enthusiasm seemed to
possess the debaters, and the results
were seen in the first programs. This
is due to the fact that this year practise
in debating was given the Seniors in the
English class.
But lack of interest is also shown
in the rest of the program. Something
is lacking. And what is it? Somebody
must boost up the programs. The
members of the two literary societies
must work together in better harmony
Three years ago the Neuman trophy
was presented to the two societies.
The society which won two years out
of three would receive the trophy.
There are many in the school who do
not even know that the societies were
to be given trophy. At the beginning
very much interest was taken but lately
it has slowly died out. There is
remedy for everything and there GER
tainly is one for this. Perhaps by
having different kind of program
every other month or so little interest
might be secured. It works in other
schools and it certainly will work out
here. Get the 81 don't care feeling
out OF you; boost up the programs and
they will soon reach our old standard
again."
Just to show that the Seniors are in
terested in more things than speed laws,
sports and dancing, several editorials
hit the old subject of a public or
school library. Here are some extracts
which are indicative of the spirit and
interest shown.
"In the past many an honest citizen
on being asked by stranger where the
library is situated, has answered that
he himself was stranger, or has sent
him down the street six or seven blocks
and then made his escape in another
direction rather than admit that there
was no such thing in this city. 1t is
thought, however, that if the police
force keeps up it's splendid teamwork
in rounding up automobile speeders
and bicycle riders, it will some day have
enough money in it's treasury to build
good city library.

remarks apropos of the diminutive

SMILE, HANG 1T, SMILE.

> :
According to authoritative tests the
most economical speed at which to run
an automobile is "a miles per hour,
but this does not apply to New Ulm
if that notwithstanding cop lays his
eyes on you going at that speed. This
latter part of the foregoing is the con-
clusion reached by "a of the citizens
in the Garden City of Minnesota. The
police department of New Ulm is far
too vigilant to allow such gross mis-
demeanors as going IL miles per or
riding on the sidewalk to go undetected
and UNPUBLISHED. Far be it from this
beautiful town to allow such terrible
death-defying, blood-tingling, hair
raising races to take place on Main
or any other street. 1t would be blot
on New Ulm fame to allow an innocent
Ford to go through Goose Town at 16
miles per without making him pay
visit to the justice of peace. It's only
polite, don't you know, to welcome our
transients. OF course the court is not
averse to picking up that $8.45 these
unfortunate gentlemen leave here Just
think of all the money these speed
laws bring to city. Why, it brings
in more money in week than Sears &
Roebuck takes out in a year. One
consolation however remains for the
resident speed demon, that is that
every time he pays his 8.45 his taxes
will be reduced l IL mills the next
year. Smile, Hang it. smile!'
Another boy, evidently an optimist,
to whom a landscape without several
cars in the foreground is a dissertation
of the most sacred intentions of Provi-
dence took the matter up in another
way.
"Many citizens were pleased, although
somewhat surprised, when the announce
ment was made that the $8.45 club
has again been re-established with
new enthusiasm. The membership has
already increased rapidly this Spring.
At the previous meeting, which was a
special one held last Monday, sixteen
members were added to the list. The
great increase of membership shows
that the organization must be an up
to-date one,' to which every member
feels honored to belong. Once a mem
Der, always member. No exami-
nation has to be passed, only an advance
of the gas lever and the 8.45 club will
open it's doors to you. Not only are
the drivers of the Hudsons eligible
but special rate of 5.45 has been made
| for the drivers of the two-wheeled
affairs"
] One ardent son of the Fatherlanc
took a smart rap at President Wilson
for his policy Of neutrality. Wilson's
policy is alright to maintain peace"
! he says. But it is getting away from
neutrality. A country is not neutra
! when it aids one side in whatever way
it can. Wilson does not stop the sending
out of firearms to the allies. He sup
ports the war in every way he can and
then sets aside special day in which
to pray for peace.
The war question had an equally
ardent advocate on the other side. 1.I1
Germany's supply of ammunition ran
short" says this young man, edo
you think she would hesitate to buy
from the United States if she had the
ships and the nerve to come over and
get it? You bet she would not. Then
the sooner Germany quits hollering
whenever she is hoodwinked the better,
