OBITUARY.
Richard Hicks

The death of Mr.. Richard Kicks
last week just after we had gone
to press removes another of the old
settlers who has been a subscriber
for the Journal for many years. Mr..
Hicks was past ninety years of age.
An Englishman by birth, he emil
grated to this country seventy one
years ago in time to join the rush to
California in 1849, where he had the
miners experience and success SeS.
In '62 he came to River Falls where
he married and settled upon a farm
few miles east, which for over
forty years was his home. The past
twelve years have been spent in this
city. He is survived by six chill
dren, John, Jenny and Phyllis Hicks,
Mrs. Fred Jackman and Mrs. T. C.
Jackman of this city and Mrs. w.
P. McEvoy, of Alberta. Mr.. Hicks
was peculiarly fitted for the place
he occupied, man of great indust-
ry and integrity of character. He
magnified the home and home vir-
tues. He seldom spent a night,
during his whole life after he had a
home, elsewhere than under his own
roof. Here he was at his best, al
ways treating with great kindness
those who were members of the
family circle. He abhored debt,
and saught always to meet obliga-
tons of life with fidelity, doing as
he would be done by. He was par
ticularlY happy in his domestic re-
lations His kindness to his chill
dren returned in increased measure
upon his own head. Rarely indeed
is it given to a man in declining
years to be cared for with such de-
votion as he received at the hands
of his children.

LOOKING BACK WARD

Seedtime and harvest-Soil, rain
and sunshine-The root, the stalk.
the flower, the fruit. Who shall say
whether soil or rain or sunshine
did most in the process? Rather
is it true that each did its part and
that the combined services of all
brought forth the fruit.
Institutions likewise have their
harvest and who shall say which
force has done most in shaping it's
career. Shall we not rather say
that many forces have combined
and that an institution is what it is
at any one time because CT all the
workers who have gone before.
1t is sometimes true, however,
that an institution or an individual
receives the impress of some strong
personality that gives shape to all
its future career. Especially is such
result possible if the moulding
hand is felt while the institution
or the individual is in a formative
state. AS the twig is bent the tree
is inclined" and happy is the insti-
tuition or the character that is
started right
Today we are not to observe a
harvest festival in the life of the
River Falls Normal School. AS we
rejoice in the fruitage of the present
let US not forget the 'hewers of
wood and the drawers of water"
that have prepared the way for this
proud occasion.
The River Falls Normal School
was started nearly forty years ago
by small though able group of
workers under the leadership of Mr..
w. D. Parker whose personality was
as resistless as the force of CRAWL
tation. Stalwarts they were and
some of them winners of distinction
in the worlds work and it is no
wonder that with such beginning,
trend, bias, an individuality was
given 70 the school that the years
have not effaced.
Administrations have changed,
view points have changed, Expan-
sion has taken place-progress has
been made and yet there has always
chung to the school a fine flavor of
genuineness and sincerety-of sub
stance rather than show of indus
try and loyalty that was stamped
upon the school by its first body of
workers.

The attendance of so many
Christian Endeavorers at the
District G. E. Convention at Hud-
son last Sunday, caused rather a
meager attendance at the local SER
vice, but that fact was gladly ex-
cusable, especially when it was af-
forwards learned that the said local
society had been awarded two ban
ners at the convention. The dele
gates will probably tell about it
next Sunday evening.

In The Normal School Corner Stone

1t had its beginning at a time
when the wave of Educational re-
form started by Pesstalozzi in Eur
ope and Horace Mann in America
was making itself felt in the West,
Mr.. Parker's appreciation of the
truths of that reform made him an
enthusiastic Educational leader,
hence it was happy combination
of president and faculty that start
ed the school on it's honorable ca
reer.
Mr.. Parker's superiority lay in
his many sidedness.
He was not only ready organizer,
firm administrator and a devoted
student but he was also a most in
spring teacher.
In its organization the school was
military in type. Order, quiet, sys-
tenn, regularity was pronounced
from the movements of the children
in the grades to the entrance of the
faculty for morning exercies. OBJ
servance of all school regulations
was firmly enforced. Recreation
after seven o'clock was prohibited
four nights in the week and nei.
Their faculty or students were ex-
pectedsto break the rule. 1t was
Mr.. Parker's argument that going
to school was a business PROPOSE
ton into which the students were
putting time and money, hence
business methods should be observ-
and school attendance and duties
should take precedence of all re-
creation claims. School before
pleasure" was the training to which
the students were subjected and
which developed in them a devo-
ton to business which a teacher
must ever practice.
The instruction of the school was
vital and intensive, What do you
know" and what can you do" and
what do you think" were of more
Importance than what the text book
said. He was a pronounced foe 10
the 'spoemoritor method" and the
veneering process in teaching. To
him the self activity of the learner
was the essential condition Of
learning and he measured the teach
ing power of his faculty by their
ability to occasion this activity.
1t was also his doctrine that a
few points in any subject thorough
ly mastered was better than a
smattering of the whole hence the
question for the teacher to consider
in the recitation was not how much
subject matter was gone over, but
how much knowledge or power the
learner had gained. He believed in
objective teaching and liked to have
his teachers make their teaching as
concrete as possible.
Emphases was placed upon the
professional work and no student
was excused from training until he

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Mr.. Almy was present at the Wis
consin Laurence game and gave US
a very interesting account of the
game and a fine idea of the Wiscor.
sin Stadium at Assembly Tuesday.
Mr., Stillman who remained at
home, described the Normal End
New Richmond game. He also
mentioned the fine work of three
former High School stars including:
Morrow, Moline and Chapman,
Mr. Amy left Friday afternoon
for Madison and returned Monday
morning. At Madison he attended
the State superintendent meeting.
This was a meeting for the city
superintendent of the state.
Mr.. Guetzloe refereed the game
between the Eau Claire and Memo
monte High school teams which
Eau Claire won 20. He described
as much of the game as he was able
to see and gave US fine idea Of the
strength of the two teams.
The machinery in the Manual
Training Room will soon be fixed
now. The men were looking it
over yesterday. They are making
a screen in manual training now
for the Domestic Science Room.
This shows that the Manual Train
ing Dept. is certainly an advantage
to the school.
The first football game will be
played soon, probably Saturday
with Hastings. Although the team
is light, all opponents also seem
light so we have a fine chance Of
being Just as successful as former
II. Mr.. Almy is negotiating with a
city team just at present and it
seems certain that we will get the
game.
The Freshmen class held party
la the gymnasium last Friday eve
ming. The gym was decorated very
prettily in the class colors of ma
room and white. Most of the High
School faculty were present. The
evening was spent very enjoyably,
those present playing many differ
ent games. At nine o'clock ice
cream and waters were served. A
few more games were played and
all departed in fine spirits at $3.50.
Mr.. Stillmans baby was present
and is said to have had such a fine
time that it made many of the rest
enjoy themselves.

From our home his form has van

From our home his form has van
ished
And the voice we loved is still;
From our hearts all JOY is banished,
His vacant place none else can fill.
Dearest father, though thou hast
left us,
And thy loss we deeply feel,
Still it's God that has bereft us;
He can all our sorrows heal.
Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the day of life is fled,
Then in heaven with joy TO greet
thee,
Where no farewell tear is shed.

She was of somewhat naughty nature and, being on a shopping ex petition with a friend, happened to catch a glimpse of an acquaintance she did not wish to recognize.
 Let us go this way past the silk counter I just saw some one don't care to meet"
 Who is he?" asked her friend, who did not see any one near them. "Oh some horrid woman with a smirk on her face. Of course l have only a lowing acquaintance with her, and, although her face is familiar, l cannot remember her name"
 They finished their shopping. and the two women found themselves at the same point where one of them had seen her disagreeable acquain- tance.
 There she is again. Why, I do be- lieve she's been here all the time! she said, pointing to the person in question.

 THE REGALE THEATER

Napoleon, the greatest genius for enc of Frances national heroes, and
 by reason of the present war with Germany, the coming of a Napoleon picture to the Regal Theater is of peculiar and timely interest. The title of the play is The Golden Cross" adapted from the opera of that name by Lloyd F. Lonergan, the well
 known Thanhouser scenario writer.
 Maud Fealy and Mignon Anderson, both beautiful girls, have important CTS around the computations of Ma poleon. and the devotion of the beau
 tlful peasant girl to her brother. for whom she obtains substitute to fight in the wars. She pledges a Golden Cross to the substitute, a young count, who is wounded and a burly sergeant gets the cross How ever the cannot get the girl, for the count arrives just in time for a beau tiful denouement. The story is play ed with the Thanhouser well known fidelity of scenic and dramatic ef- feet. In addition to this two reel feature there will be a splendid com edy of a well known Mutual brand and q single comedy drama. The
 Regal management is improving the shows daily much to the delight of | the patrons of the house.

"The Littlest Rebel"

If you have not been down to the Columbia and enjoyed little Adylade Van Tyne's performance of the name part in the Littlest Rebel you have missed the best thing the Redmond com"any has offered since they came to Phoenix This is not an exagar- ated statement of the press depart ment, out the concensus of opinion in the ranks of those who have seen the clever Phoenix miss in the exactlng role
 As MT. Redmond expressed it, she is the most talented child I have seen in my long experience in the show business. and unless all signs fail she is destined to become a wonderful performer" This miss of tender years has in the Littlest Rebel mastered part that would be a task to a seasoned actress and she never for a moment forgets the char acter she is playing. She is so nat ural in the big scenes that it is hard for one to believe that less than two months ago she spoke her first line on any stage.

ANNETTE kElLERMAN
 RETURN ENGAGEMENT

So great was the admiration ere ated by the Diving Venus when her great spectacle "Neptunes Daughter" was shown at the Lamar theatre. that Manager Barncord, yielding to popular request, has succeeded in ob- taining the seven great reals of pic lures telling the wonderful fairy story of Captain Leslie T. Peacocke, for another engagement extraordinary at the popular Lamar Theatre. The pictures are to be shown today and to morrow.
 The story was written especially to give play to Miss Kellerman's mar vicious athletic ability, for she is a swimmer, diver, dancer, actress swordswoman and queen of the sea The pictures were taken in and around thu Bermuda Islands last winter. and they provided a most wonderful setting for the filming of such series of wonder scenes.
 The first application of the then recently invented device for taking pictures under the sea, was used Tn this picture and the records of a fight between Miss Kellerman and a wouldbe assassin are given with re- markable clearness.
 It is interesting to know also that there are two almost life size pie lures of Miss Kellerman in her role of Dancing Girl standing in the lob by of the Lamar Theatre. that are creating all sorts of comment, botf because of their beauty and theii sensational nature. Great audience: will great hte return of the picture without question. as there have beer many calls for it. and great inter est displayed in it's coming.
