ED FOR COUNTRY SCHOOLS
Community Commandments at Seven
Places--Speakers of Note
List of Graduates

nave DEen. competent
for the holding of community COM
mencements for the graduates of our
rural schools. Just as diploma ex-
aminations were held in centrally To-
Gated places throughout the county,
graduation exercises will also be in
the nature of community affairs in
stead of individual programs for each
school. This is the plan advocated
by the State Department of Educa-
ton and a plan which has met with
great favor in other counties. Some
counties have but one commencement
for the eneire county. Owing to the
lack of railroad facilities, however,
and to the size of our county, there
will be seven commandments.
The place and date and commence
ment speaker for each are:
HILLSBQRo. MAY ~, DR.. II. n. Sherwood.
VALLEY, MAY %. Pres. r. A. Cotton.
La FARCE, MAY 80. DIR. A. A. Thomson.
DE SOTO. MAY 81, DIR. H. n. Sherwood.
WESLEY, JUNE 3. Mr.. A. A. Thomson.
CHASEBURC, JUNE S. Mr.. C. J. Smith.
VIROQUA, JUNE z, DIR. H. N. Sherwood.
The State Graded Schools at VAL
ley, DeSoto, Bloomingdale and Chase
burg have Joined with the rural
schools in these commandments. This
year, 43 pupils will receive diplomas
from our State Graded Schools and
l27 from the Common Schools.
We give below the names of the
young people who are to assemble
at the different central points to re-
ceive their rewards for efficient edu-
cational work:
