the brook and river meet" thirty
nine of Mineral Points men and wo-
men received from the vice-president

diplomas certifying they had COM
pleted the prescribed course of an
accredited high school and were now
entitled to enter upon the real duties
of life, either as students in some
higher institution of learning or as
students n lifes great school.
In years past it has been custom
ary for the graduates to have an out

PATRIOTIC AND TRUE WORDS

Herbert n. Latin, Mineral Point,
Wis. Memorial Day, 1920: This
day we keep in tender and grate1ul
remembrance of our heroic dead.
All peoples have gloried in paying
homage to their brave, and Whlle
America endures viii she hold IN
loving memory her sons who dled
that this great nation under COD
might have a new birth Of freedom
and that liberty and justice might
not perish from the earth. Amerl-
cans have always been prompt to re-
spond to their country's call. The
bows Of 1776 who, at Concord Bridge
fired the shot heard found the world,
or suffered at Valley Forge With
Washington; the boys Of 1861 who
responded to the call Of the lmmor-
tai Lincoln; the boys of 1898 who
with Theodore Roosevelt charged up
San Juan Hill, and our own boys OF
1918, who at Chateau Thierry and
Balleau Wood held the victorious dl-
visionsof the Huns and turned the
tide of the war were all cast in the
same heroic mold.
If the red glare of war has shown
us mans shame and bestiality, it has
also shown us his strength and cour-
age and his divinity. The speaker

zation Of Ancient Greece and it's fall
as a result of the development OF a
spirit Of selfishness and materialiSm
and a departure of the sterling vir-
tues that had made the Greeks the
foremost people of the ancient world
and drew therefrOm lessons appli-
cable to cur time and country. The
laws Of history are immutable. Char
acter must be the basis Of all clVill-
public office who is not loyal to the
ideals, principles and institutions OF
America We must give ourselves
more unreserVedly to the service OF
the community, the State ana the
Nation. Our country still calls for
the service of heroes, men and wo-
men who will live for their country,
even as our sons, brothers, fathers,
died for it. In the name Of the
brave men living and dead who have
so devotedly served this beloved land
in the name of Old Glory, the Flag
that symbolizes all that we hold dear
and sweet and sacred, in the name Of
this Great Republic, in the name of
God "Our strength in ages past, our
hope in years to come," call you to
a higher, nobler, more intelligent,
aggressive and militant citizenship
so shall we be true to the memory of
our great heroic dead.

''INGRATITUDE"
The Subject of Mr.. Bryan's Lee
ture in Mineral Point

Uuder the auspices of the COngre-
gational Brotherhood, Hon. William
Jennings Bryan lectured in Munici-
pal Theatre on Saturday afternoon.
He was introduced by Rev. A. H.
Schoenfeld. The speaker was in
good spirits and gave his audience
@ great and a most wholesome lee
ture Ingratitude was his theme.
He spoke particularly of three great
blessings which America enjoys, and
for which people everywhere are not
These three blessings are; "Edu~
cation, Religion and Government.
These blessings, he said, have been
secured to us at the cost of blood
and treasures. He pleaded for un-
stinted support of our educational
institutions, and for the encourage
ment of the youth Of the land in the
pursuit of knowledge on through the
higher branches of learning. Reli-
the world if the Christian Churches
meet their present opportunity and
unite as they should in spirit and in
effort. The world war had empha-
sized the great need of religion. A
reunited Christendom will bring uni
versal peace. When the speaker
touched on Government he was sure
ly at home with his theme. He said
that the world is nearer chaos to-day
than it has been in hundred years.
Citizens were ungrateful if they
failed to live UP to the demands of
the hour in the performance of their
civic duties. He spoke of the grow
ing antagonism between Capital and
Labor, of profteering, and of the eff
forts to set aside the victory over
the liquor traffic. Men and women,
the speaker said, should show their
gratitude for the free government
which they enjoy by fighting val
iantly for civic righteousness.

MAKE THE SCHOOLS efficient
BY Congressman Monahan


Washington, ID. c., June Z, 1920.
Recent figures from the Bureau of
Education, show that Wisconsin
spends for each school child only
$3.50 a year for education. This
is way below the expenditure of
neighboring states and of all the
northern states but two. 1t is in
teresting to note that there is a gen.
eral effort all over Wisconsin, and
especially in the Third District, to
increase teachers salaries this fall.
This puts us in line with the general
movement in all civilized countries
to develop and make efficient the pub
lie schools. | believe in a country
like ours good education is essential
to democracy, and the fine people
who have been so uncomplainingly
bearing their share of the burdens
imposed by the war should have
their just reward in adequate sala-
ries.

glowing terms that we wondered for
a time if the high school could exist
without them, but Robert Lawinger
in the Class Will left the class man
tie in such competent hands that our
fears were set at rest.
Never in the history of the school
was the class memorial of 500 for
library books better presented than
it was by Elmore Hendra, and the
acceptance on the part of Mr.. A. V.
Shipman equaled the presentation
speech.
The Glass Prophecy by Anna Fecht
was humorous and much enjoyed by
classmates and friends.
/ Margaret Unger as Valedictorian
delighted the audience by her clear
voice and charming manner.
The address by Supt Vieth was
a clear exposition of the aims and
achievements Of the public school
and all agreed with him that the
American public school is the great
est instrument of democracy ever
conceived by the mind of man.
Long may it live and grow more
efficient as people come to recognize
it's worth.

CERTIFICATE
RECORDS TO BE
RETURNED TODAY
Miss NELSON'S Office to Get
Back Nine Car Loads of
Papers.

Bismarck. N. D., Dec. Shine
janitors' carloads Of records, which
were taken out OF an Office on the
second floor of the state capitol and
moved to the basement by legislative
or tomorrow by a decree of the voters
of the state.
The records were those of the GER
tifcations issued to school teachers In
North Dakota since statehood. They
were taken from the Office of Miss
Minnie J.. Nelson. state superintend-
ent of public instruction. They are to
be returned to her Office by the enact
mento of the law by public vote which
gives back to her department the su-
pervision of the certifcation Of teach
ers. Standardization OF schools and
uniformity of text books, as well as
the duty Of preparing courses OF study
for the several classes OF public
schools.
The removal Of the records is be-
lieved to mark the end of one of the
most bitter political fights in North
Dakota history. The enactment by
the legislature of the law creating the
senate board of administration and
transferring duties that had de-
volved on the state superintendent OF
public instruction followed the defeat
OF N: q. Macdonald, Nonpartisan, for
state superintendent by Miss Nelson.
Though E. p. Grain. director of the
motor vehicle registration bureau, has
been the head of the c~ertif1cation de-
partment under the state board Of ad-
ministration, the actual supervision
has been under the direction of Mrs.
N. c. Macdonald. The records were
moved to the board of administration
office in the basement of h state
house in August. 1919. Mrs. Mac
Donald is not expected to continue
her work. 49,
According to Miss Nelson the GER
LITIGATION and other duties restored
her by the initiated law will be
handled without materially enlarginl
