Major Chrisman recently directed tc
Mr.. Jenkins, bursar of the university
some inquiries relative to the present
standing of the Moscow high school
and of the university. Mr.. Jenkin s
reply contains a statement quoted
from Mr.. Soulen's survey of the educa-
tional situation that will be read with
qualification. The letter follows
MOSCOW, Jan. 4.-Major E. R.
Chrisman, Fort Niagara, N. Y. My
Dear Major Chrisman: Yours of De-
cenlber 28th received. Replying there
to will say that I referred the matter
of your inquiry about the Moscow high
school to Professor Philip Soulen who
is in charge of the Department of Edu-
cation here at the University of Idaho
and was at the head of the University
of idaho Preparatory Department from
your days until the preparatory school
was discontinued. Professor Soulen
has had several of his children attend
the Moscow high school. Taking Pro-
fessor Soulen's experience into account,
he having made it his life work, |
fully believe his opinion quoted below
to be worthy of your considerations:
"Moscow's reputation as an educa-
tiona1 center is hptter than ever in it's
history. The Moscow schools, espec-
tally the high school, are maintained
on high standards. The new 100000
high school building affords all mod
ern facilities and the teaching force
is efficient. The university naturally
offers an environment which extends
throughout the whole community. The
work of the high school is fully ac-
credited at the university and their
students are making good records
AS to the university, it is without
doubt getting better and stronger each
wear; this can be verified by scanning
over the corps of professors and in
structors now engaged here. Under
a separate cover l am mailing you our
latest catalog.
Believing you and Mrs. Chrisman
will choose Moscow as the proper
place for your family to reside while
your regiment is abroad, you will of

STUDENTS SHOW
DRAMATIC SKILL
PERFORMANCE OF "PAOLO AND
FRANCESCA" WAS MOST
CREDITABLE
Leading Characters Play Parts Admir-
ably-Lines Perfectly MemOrized by
All-Audience Genuinely Moved
by Many Passages

| In its presentation OF Stephen
Phillipss tragedy, "Paolo and Fran
cesca," the university class in inter-
pretative reading last evening gave a
highly creditable performance. The
skill displayed in reciting the very diff
ficult lines was far above that of the
average amateur and the passages re-
quiring power and pathos moved deep
| ly the attentive auditors.
One of the great merits of the per-
formance was the perfect memorizing
of lines by the entire cast the single
instance of prompting being for a
minor character having few words to
commit.
Of the individual actors a number
of highly complimentary remarks can
justly be made. Willard Mcdowell
and c. J. Johnson as Giovanni and
Paolo played their difficult roles splen-
didly. Both have beautiful voices
which they have learned to use with
no little degree of skill, and their
performance was throughout char
acterized by keen insight into the char
acters they portrayed, sympathy, and
sincerity. R. C. Goodman, as Pulci,
also did very well.
Miss Soulen's Interpretation of the
embittered Lucrezia was dignlfled, and
as always in her case, intelligent. Miss
Linn as Francesca gave a convincing
performance The minor parts were all
we'll cast Miss Zumhof, as Nita, look
ed extremely pretty and made a dash
ing little maid. Miss Mcdaniel had
a small part as Pulci's daughter, which
she played well. Margaret Rawlings,
as the blind and aged nurse, was real
ly moving. Muriel Beamer and Olive
Merritt as we'll as the soldiers and
officers added to the dramatic success
of the evening.
The performance would have bene-
fitted greatly by not changing the
scenes so frequently, as the long waits
between acts and scenes dragged out
the evening to a late hour. Several
of the scenes, by little manipulation
of lines, could very well have been
quite as effectively given without
change.
AS in most of the plays put on at
the university the costuming gave the
unpleasant effect of being too little or
too tardily considered. The impress
siveness of "Paolo and Francesca"
would have been immeasurably
heightened by a more appropriate cos
tuning. The dramatic clubs of the
need a much increased
supply of properties, as well as
numerous books with illustrations
showing accurately the type of cos
tunes worn at different periods.
Nevertheless, in spite of the crudity
generally displayed in the staging, the
performance gave great satisfaction !
and the fine rendering of the beautiful
ines compensated amply for merely
defects.

this clear. The only information re-
garding the kaiser's intention which

is warning to neutral ships" and
not notice of a blockade When the
government secures authentic texts OF
the two German notes, it will seek
adequate protection. If Germany does
not offer conveys to American vessels

German Ambassador Explains
WASHINGTON, Feb 6.-The Ger
man ambassador, Won Bernstorff, is
sued a statement declaring that Ger
many does not intend to interfere with
American commerce by the new block
ade of England and France. Although
he said he had not received the in
structions from his government re-
garding the admiralty's order extend
ing the war zone" Won Bernstorff
declared that Germany simply pro-
poses to destroy the ships of her
enemies. There's nothing new in the
communication of February fourth
in respect to the attitude of the Ger
man imperial navy towards the ships
of the enemy or neutral commerce."
Won Bernstorff's statement said. 1T is
absurd to describe the proclamation as
a paper blockade of the British
Isles. The communication is simply
a statement of what has been, since
the beginning of the war, the attitude
of all belligerent powers towards the,
enemy's ships"

Blockade Reason Explained

in an official memorandum explain
ing the proposed blockade of England
declared that highlands continual
violation of the rules of international
law was part of her program to
"starve out the Germans" and that
this compelled Germany to adopt
drastic measures against the enemy.

A Good Entertainer

Through an oversight in this
Office, mention of the singing of
Mr.. Stuart Stevenson of the Yank-
ton College Quintet, was ommitted
in our write up Of the entertainment
given by that popular concert COM
pany at this place on Wednesday
evening of last week. The ommis-
sion was inexcusable on our part
but things like that happen in
every printing office and we plead
guilty this time. Mr.. Stevenson
is without question one of the lead
ing members of the Quintet. He
puts the necessary expression in
his work, and the rendering of his
solos were among the big hits of
the evening. Should this Quintet
ever visit Kadoka again Mr.. Stew
enson will, with the other members,
receive a royal reception at the
hands of our people.

Eighth Grade Grad
uating Exercises

On last Saturday evening in the
Kadoka Opera House, occurred the
eighth grade Graduating Exercises
for the pupils in this county, who
passed the eighth grade at the ex-
aminations held in their respective
schools last spring. The opera
house was crowded with parents
and friends who came to witness
the program which had been pre-
pared for the event. The exercises
were good and the class address,
The Girl and Her Bunch, /" by
Grace Reed-Porter was a talk fill
ed with instruction for pupils and
parents. The address was particu-
larily good and practical through
out. The thoughts presented we're
well worth the consideration of all
parents. Pupils who will try and
guide their actions along the lines
laid down by Mrs. Porter in her
interesting talk, will find that when
they grow to mature manhood and
womanhood, they can look back
to youth proftably spent.
To these young graduates who by
their efforts have made the first
step toward gaining an education,
the Press sincerely congratulates.
You are now ready for the high
school-an education is priceless
possession--and we hope that every
one of you who received a diploma
on last Saturday evening. may
within the few short years, go on
and receive the second, coming to
you for the successful completion
of the high school course.
The graduates present to receive
diplomas were:
Alice Johnck, Julius Hurley.
Cecil Root. Pearl Rutan.
Eva Hansen, Harvard Decker,
Ruth PettyjohD, Catherine Rocks.
Laura Belle Vice, Jos. Barth,
VIM. Norton, Burnice Keliing.

The above resolution is taken
from the official proceedings of the
Stanley County Commissioners
meeting of last week.
From it we learn that the mother
county intends throwing all fair
ness to the winds, and will try to
force collection from Jackson and
Haakon counties of their share of
the indebtedness, without allowing
any credit whatever for property
owned Jointly by the three counties.
The Press is informed that Haa-
kon county officials have looked
into the settlement matter quite
thoroughly, and upon advice of
one of the leading attorneys of
the state, will fight the collection
of their part of the indebtness if
forced to. They being informed
that the collection cannot be made
without the mother county allowing
them as set off, their share of the
property interests.
The Press cannot speak officially
for the Jackson county officials, as
the board of commissioners have
rot been in session since they re-
ceived the demand to settle from
the Stanley county authorities, but
we can say to the tax payers of the
county that the settlement matter
will be thoroughly gone into and
proper steps will be taken to safe
guard the interests of our people.
Personally, the Press man is
somewhat surprised at the action
of the Stanley county commissions
ers--we had honestly thought they
intended to act fair in this matter,
but if they do not intend to do so,
and the above resolution plainly
demonstrates that fact--we for one
believe that the courts are made to
use, and by dad, this is one time
they should be used to get justice
for all concerned.

Hotel DaCOtah Gives
A Nice Sum

Mrs. +. H. KEELING, proprietor
of the Hotel Dacotah, has turned
into the treasury of the Kadoka
Commercial club the sum of S44. 90
which is to go into the court house
building fund. Mrs. KEELING is
certainly entitled to a vote of
thanks from every member OF the
club, as we'll as from the tax payers
Of the county for this generous
donation. No one needs to tell the
Press that it did not take a lot of
hard work upon the part of the
hotel folks to make the social and
dance the success it was, and the
efforts expended by them. Should be
rewarded by our citizens, and we
have confidence that it will be.
The Hotel Dacoth and its proprie-
tor, believes in doing things which
will help Kadoka, and the Press is
glad that we have them in our
midst.
The music for the dance was
furnished by local talent, assisted
by c. M. Lloyd, who came over
from Philip to help out on the oc-
cassion, and many are the compIi-
mints which we have heard in re-
CARDS to it.
