--JOlU the fkCO AIOeS-
THRU the efforts of a very few Of
our public-spirited men, we have a
Night School here. The school is re-
cOgnized and partly supported by the
state educational department, and has
W great ends in view. One is the
education of our foreign born people,
and not only so that they may be able
to read and write, but also to give
them a rock bottom understanding of
the fundamentals and principles of the
American government. An uneducat-
cd man is helpless when dealing with
m educated man. A. foreign born
man cannot have the same feeling Of
patriotism towards this country if he
knows nothing about its government.
ITS liberties, or its history. For this
reason alone the purpose Of the night
school is justified. The second DUR
pose OF the schools is to give those
boys n girls between the ages of
16 and Fl who have not completed
more than the first five grades of the
common school a chance to secure a
further education. Many Of the young
men about Milbank have not completed
n education, either because they die
not wish to, or did not have the on
pOrtuniy to do so. A young man
usually realizes what he has lost thr,
lack of education when it is too late
70 enter the ommon schools, and thu,
the night schools affords him tn,
one chance to go evenings and to BIZ
associated with men of his age or old
er. Every citizen in Milbank shOulf
bring pressure to bear upon ever,
young person in the city who is ele.
gible for this education and upon
every foreign born person who plan,
70 become a citizen of this country
The night school must be attended O.
the ends for which it has been organ,
lied will not be attained and the schoo
will be closed. The teachers are will
ing to do their part. The state, city
and county stand ready to furnish
the funds to carry out the work plan
ned for the winter and now the citi
zens of the county must play their
part and see that the school has a full
attendance.
Every red-blooded citizen Of this
county who has the best interests o
the county. state and nation at heart
who wants to see the people pros.
porous and happy, who realizes what
education means to the life of the ma
ton and what a menace the uneducat
ed man is to it, whether he is Ameri.
can or foreign born, should arous,
himself and get behind this PROPOSE
ton of Night Schools and help make
them the success that thew should
be. Instead of a mere handful of mer
taking advantage Of this opportunity
1t should be that the school is over
crowded. 1t needs and demands tn.
heartiest support of every citizen and
every reader of this should see that
It will not be he that has fallen short
on the job and partially responsible
for the failure OF this truly American
institution.

THE drive for new members for the
Farm Bureau is ON and from first re-
suits, it has q splendid outlook for
success.
The Farm Bureau is one Of the
greatest Of farmers organizations,
which IS endeavoring steadily to bet

farmer is compelled to work. The
greatest problem with which the farm
