GOES TO PLENTYWOOD

GOES TOPLENTYWOOD|
Through the /courtesty OF Mrs.
]. C. Gronvold, who has given US a
copy OF her former home paper, we
are able to reproduce an article taken
from The Fertile Journal, with refer
ence to our new city superintendent
OF schools, Mr. E. M. Hauge:
A splendid representatives gathering
was that at the school house Monday
evening when the citizens OF this
community met en- masse to honor
ably discharge Prof. E. NJ. Hauge
from his duties as superintendent OF
schools. Practically every part of
the district was well represented,
some even coming in from the coun-
try and the big assembly room was
we'll filled when Rev. Strom, presi-
dent OF the board of education, an
nounced the purpose of the gathering
and opened up evenings activities
by a short address in which he paid
tribute to the excellent service rem
dered the community by the guest OF
the evening.
Rev. Stlom spoke of Supt. Hauge's
long term of service in the district,
his untiring efforts in building up the
splendid institution of learning we
now possess, his modest, honesty of
purpose and above all perhaps his
efficiency and clean-cut work as an
educator. After a delightful vocal
solo by j. B. Austinson, Norman spoke
briefly OF Supt. Hauge's work among
US. AS a member of the board that
first secured the services Of Supt.
: Hauge ten years ago he felt he had
i. performed at least one service OF
+ worth to the district, that the young
: folks were safe under such tutelage,
; that no weed seeds had been sown and
7 that his entire teachings tended to-
ward goot citizenship and moral up
lift. His remarks were followed by
5 another beautiful vocal solo by Miss
/ Helen Slightnlan, graduate OF the
t class of 1919. ]. A. Gregerson, sec
? rotary OF the board of education and
: also a member OF the board during
!, the entire ten-year period that Prof.
: Hauge has been with US was then an
i nounced as the next speaker; While
: humorous in his remarks, Mr.. Gre
: gerson became serious long enough
n to remind his audience of the efficient
e work that has been going on during
E the last decade, the result OF which
g is the fine system of schools OF which
a we are all so proud, that this WORK
had been done without any advertls'
ing and while its accomplishment
d was due chiefly to the master MINI
Y and hand directing it, yet he nevei
e assumed any credit himself but al
IS ways unselfshly distributed it among
e his assistants, the student body, the
/. board OF education and the communl
: tv, but on the other hand when any
IS thing went wrong he generously
+ shouldered the entire responsibility
i, Mr.. Gregerson expressed the belle
It that in order to have a good schoo
1t it is necessary to get good man t.
,e head it, then stand by him and no
i listen to petty pieces of gossip tina
evaporate as the rays Of truth ar
" focused upon them. He closed hi
A. remarks by presenting the guest o
n the evening with a handsome gol
y watch and chin. Supt. Hauge re
is sponded and in his usual modest wa
,r simply stated that he had tried t
al do something for Fertile but felt tina
re his efforts had not borne fruit in any
~ thing like the fullness he had hope
and that his next best move was t
get out and make room for some on
Is who could do better. He seemed t
in have a soft spot in his heart flo
y. Fertile and surrounding, spoke of
a still as his home and expressed tn
he hope that he might return to it OF
he casionally in the future. After =
es very pleasing vocal duet by Mise
