Coe succeeded in caging a field goal in the second quarter, but that was all his team made and the half found the school ahead at 2G-2. The Trade School second team replaced the regulars in the third quarter and Manchester show ed to better advantages; then the school third string men went in. The score at the end of this period was S7-1o. In the final session the reg ulars again took the floor and romped around the visitors for more points, although Manchester and Richtmyer proved too much for Manchester and could not be stop ped, while Arena fed them well. Frost played nice defensive game. Coe led the Manchester attack, with aid from Cole, while Hanson played hard game and broke up many plays. The summary:

The game was a fast one, with fast passing and spectacular shooting on both sides, but the South | church had an edge in each depart ment and also threw up a sturdier defense.

Hewett gave the Comets another lead, but Vessels tied things when he was fouled and shortly after that the South church stepped into lead from which it was never busted. At the end of the first quarter the score was 1S- 10, while by half-time Captain Ted Vessels crew was out in front by 27-t5.

THE CODY o
Y HIGH SCHOOL SECTION
MENTAL AND EDUCATIONAL
SURVEY IN CODY SCHOOLS

We are sorry that due to the
epidemic of measles. so many .pu-
pills In the lower grades were absent
during the survey week. However
as soCa as the attendance gets back
to normal the work will be finished
by Miss Clemens and the normal
training class, and results will then
be in file for the entire school.
In reviewing the results obtained
we find the pupils rank high in
intelligence compared to other
towns in Wyoming, yet many pu-
pills are not reaching their capacity
in attainment. This can be said
OF the high school as well, where
the survey was more complete, the
attendance being more regular.
We are proud Of the results of the
test but feel that all pupils should
strive to use their abilities to the
extent and do the best work
possible.

LINCOLN


Every man. woman. and child
knows who Lincoln was. The great
president of the United States, who
brought our nation safely through
the Civil War. That tall, lean,
homely, kind-hearted looking man.
Lincoln's early life was put in on
his fathers. farm, where he worked.
His education was very poor. as
his folks did not have the funds to
send him to school; but from early
childhood he has written snatchas
of things, showing his beautiful
thoughts; these were crudely writ
ten, because of his lack OF know
ledge for expressing them. Out
side of his work he still chung to
the ideas of expressing himself in
literature. Everyone has heard Of
his gallant efforts to get a better
education through books that he
borrowed. However when he once
got started in Grammar it took only
about three years until he knew
how to express himself sufficiently.
to put out his first public address.
n address was to the people
OF Sangamon county in which he
offered himself as a candidate for
the office of representative to the
General Assembly of the state.
In this election however, he was
defeated. The only time he was
lever defeated by the direct vote of
the neople.
The most important of Lincoln's
literary works we're the speeches
he gave between 1854 and 1865
against slavery, and for emancipa-
ton. The thing that really broueht
Lincoln into the public's view was
his debates with Douglas. He was
strongly opposed to slavery. believ-
ing that the government should be
carried on by all the people on an
equal basis. He successfully carried
out this ideal during his term as
President of the United States.
No other man could give such
forceful speeches on the slavery
question as Douglas could, thought

Lincoln vas always kind. Nothing
gave him more pain during the ter
rible Civil War, than to have TO
sign the death warrant of a soldier
who had slept at his post or some
such offense. Many were the times
he let one of these boys go free,
because of the pleas of his mother,
sister or brother. He was always
ready to let some other BUSINESS
go. in order to listen to the pleas
of these poor people in distress.
His letter of sympathy to Mrs.
Bixby is typical of this kind-heart-
