In closing Professor Thompson
made plea for more cooperation in
living, for more confidence in our
selves and others, and for a firm be-

OF high school subjects and brought
out forcibly the need for a new mod

give the children Of Eureka County
the same educational benefits en-

State. He remarked upon the in
jury to the general health and eye
sight by the continued use of an an

not be construed as being made for
selfish purposes.

opportunity to think about obtaining
other men to run for the Office at the
