The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1929-03-29

derived a great deal of benefit
from such a contest. Wolf Point
can be proud of the splendid show
ing made by Bernard Geisen. His
GRAFTON was of the highest type.
The Froid boy was a good speak
err. His voice was first class for
an orator. His Grafton bordered
the dramatic yet not too much.
Our decision would have been a
toss up between Wolf Point and
Froid with Froid having the edge.
The Poplar boy who took second
was good. His grafton was highly
dramatic but a break interfered
with an otherwise excellent deliv-
cry. The Culbertson boy was also
very much in the race but lacked
the punch that carries conviction.
Judging such contests is a gam
BILE. The judges ranged from first
place to fourth place for the same
speaker.
Poplar furnished delightful
music before and after the pro-
gram. Poplar also entertained all
guests at a delicious dinner at the
Gateway. Several Wolf Pointers
followed our orator-not quite the
same enthusiasm as when the
basketball team played at Poplar.
The Great Falls contest will be
held April 26. The young orators
will be entertained for two days
at the best hotels in Great Falls.

Rural Schools
Thee is no greater problem in
the field of education than the one
room rural school, and we have
more than 10000 of them. If we
keep the world safe for democracy
the rural child must have educa-
tional opportunities equal to those
OF the city. Education must pre-
pare for rural as well as city life.
