A COMMUNITY
AUDITORIUM
One Of the Needs Of n Growing Pro.
gressiye Community

The town OF Miller is one of the
best county seat towns in South Da-
kota-in fact, close to the top in popu-
lation, average growth and develop
ment. But in a few particulars it has
not kept abreast of the times nor of
its own growth. Among these fail
ures are its buildings for public gath
erings. Our churches and public halls
were built thirty-five to forty a
ago for a village of 800 to 500 people.
Today there are close to 1000 people
within the boundaries of the Miller
School district, and less than one
fourth of them can be Accommodated
with our present facilities. The use
of the automobile has greatly extended
the territory tributory to Miller, and
many o people need a large public
building for large gatherings. We
have out-grown the old facilities. The
county schools, the city schools, the
American Legion, the united churches
and religious organizations, the clubs
and the farmers organizations all
need a big, safe building, one story,
as near fire proof as possible, with
plenty Of exits, and equipped with
modern conveniences. 1t is the duty
of this community to furnish itself
with this convenience and safety. One
cry OF fire in OF over-crowded build
ing would cause such a horror that we
may well shudder at even the thought.
Unfortunately, greatly needed public
enterprises are not equipped with
self-starters. Some person or persons
must turn the crank to start them.

IS MUSICA NECESSITYi

This is a question worthy of con
s~ideration. not only to students but to
parents and school patrons. The pa
irons have a right to demand satisfac-
tory results from such an expenditure
of time, money and energy which the
teaching of music in the school calls
for.
Shall we answer the question as
the majority of wealthy American
families have been answering it by
insisting upon music as an accom-
plishment for the daughters, and scot
fling at It for the sons? This fact
has led to the expression-''In Europe
music is a necessity, in America a
luxury" Or shall we give all chill
dren a chance to study music not
alone to perform but to realize that an
intelligent understanding of music is
as helpful to the future mechanic and
lawyer IS to the future musician?
Practically speaking music is as an
exact mathematical science as arith-
metic, but with a decidedly important
aesthetic element added.
That community Is musical was
proven by the rendition Of the operetta
given last week by the Girls Glee Club
first, by the ability of our young
people to perform; secondly, by the
willingness OF the community to sup
port.
The well-balanced performance of
"The Maid and the MILDLY" did not
shape itself in a day or a year. Months
and years of constant effort were re-
quired to obtain such musical and
dramatic perfection.
Many favorable comments have been
expressed on the individual perform
ers and it a truly be said that each
was a never-failing source of pleasure
to the audience.
The success of the operetta was due
entirely to the efforts of the High
School directress of music, Mrs. Mae
Olson. who also played the plane ac-
compartment for each number. Mrs.
Olson takes q delight in her work and
possesses a missionary spirit OF
! passing it along to others. she is per-
sistent, courageous, capable, and
thanks to her combination of all three
qualities-successful.
Very pleasing and musical were the
numbers presented between acts by
the Boys Glee Club. The youth of our
community is acquiring under the di-
ection of Prof. Cooper a valuable ac-
complishment as we'll as a pleasant
occupation for hours which might 9TH
erwise be unproftably spent.
Let us as patrons of the school do
our part in Fastening the day when
music shall be on a par with the
Three R's"-then music will take its
place with other subjects of training
for the young, and as an essential to
a well-balanced education.
One OF the BENEFITS of the great war,
is that music served as never before.
and that the public mind is so altered
upon the importance of music i'm hui
man life, that only the ignorant will
hereafter class music with the nom
essentials.

EVERETT KEMP'S MPER.
S0NATIONS PLEASE
LARGE AUDIENCE

Everett Kemp was greeted by a
large and appIeciative audience at the
Opera House Tuesday evening, when
h gave a five-act monologue, The
Music Master"
Mr.. Kemp was also welcomed at the
High School Tuesday afternoon where
he gave several humorous selections,
which were much enjoyed by the stu
dents.
Mr.. Kemp is a genius OF high rank.
pleasing personality. The ~presenta-
ton of his characters was excellent.
The Lyceum Committee offers its
patrons, as the. closing number of the
successful 1922-1923 Luceum Course
Season, a lecturer of exceptional merit
and worth Wilderness in DR.. Robert
MACEDONIAN, now the pastor of Belle
field Presbyterian Church, Pittsburg.
He is a native of Scotland, but an
adopted American of the 100 per cent
brand. He holds degrees from both
the University of Glasgow and the
University of Pittsburg. His educa-
ton and platform training make him
one of the most sought after In the
East, and our community is fortunate
in securing him on this his second
western tour.
His great lecture, 1.-THE Creed of the
Flag" is a patriotic p~reaehment by a
foreign-born that should make every
native son awaken to a new realization
of his country's greatness. Having
lived under another flag DR.. MacGow-
an recognizes the greatness and OPP
portunities of our land as possibly few
of us do.
He has learned the art of so cloth
ing his thoughts and sentiments that
even the superficial listeners may UNI
derstand and appreciate his lecture.
There is a musical ring in his voice
and a youthful magnetism about the
man himself that Immediately put him
in the good graces of the audience
to which he is ~presentec.
DR.. MACEDONIAN gives ySu the oppor-
tunitv of listening to one of the most
brilliant lecturers now before the Am
crican public. He has a freshness and
brilliancy together with his Scotch ac-
cent that adds attractiveness to his
speech; his genial personality at once
wins his audience to friendliness; and
his message grips and holds. You will
enjoy hearing him, he is a delightful
speaker.

ing disqualified. On December 4, last,
the supreme court designated Hon.

cult To try said case and set the date
for trial for December 20, 1922. On
the latter date the state attorney and
assistant, Mr.. Fiske. refused to file
an information against the defendants
at that term, claiming IL was discre-
tionary with the state attorney as to
when he should file an information
and Judge Miser so ruled.
The defendants then by their attor-
icy Glen w. Martens, A. X. Garden
