The Church And

BY REV. jobs. KNUDSEN

end it started; twenty-five years!
Is it really twenty-five years? The
community of Askov was then hope
fully clearing the brush for many
new farms and starting to excavate
for the new church. Many citi-
zen now voting was not yet born,
and men in important positions can
hardly remember the events of that
summer. 1t must be twenty-five
years, for airplanes were hardly
known and autos were scarce. Yet
it seems as if it were yesterday. The
pain, the long cruel suffering, the
losses and the effects are still acute
ly with us. If the wound has barely
closed, the scar is still livid re-
minder. How can we ever forget?
Is it an event of only twenty-five
years ago? 1t seems like century,
Gigantic upheavals have taken place
since as traceable results of its cause
Empires have fallen, new empires
have been built. What we painfully
learn in the history books as the
work of centuries has transpired be-
fore our eyes. The world has been
shaken; the attitudes and the philoso-
phies of our grandparents seem as
ancient as Thomas Aquinas. Can it
be that only twenty-five years have
passed? Those who can remember
those frantic days seem like old, old
men. Is it not true, as someone has
said, that the days before them be-
long to the Middle Ages.
1t is well that we stop and ponder.
Not only because those days were of
tremendous significance, but also be-
cause they are painfully alike unto
our own. Have we learned lesson
so that we can avoid the repetition,
or are we going to enter the second
nightmare with the memory of the
first one still fresh in our minds?
God pity us, if we do!
twenty-five years ago grim
mouthed statesmen laid aside their
game of words and gave orders for
mobilization. The World war had
begun.

PINE COUNTY RURAL
SCHOOL NEWS
A. E. GUSTAFSoN, County Supt.

About 10 OF the 2Z7 rural graduates
were unable to attend the graduation
exercises. They missed good pro-
gram given by various pupils. Diplo-
mas have been mailed to those who
could not attend.
Post cards have been mailed to all
seventh grade pupils who passed the
1889 geography state examination.
Found: A gray cap in the Pine
City high school auditorium. Call at
this office for it.
Many of our rural teachers attended
at least six weeks of summer school
at st. Cloud or Duluth this summer
Some are attending both sessions.
Among those who attended this
summer are Carmen Kelley, Oscar
Haavisto, Lee Guptill, Nina Johnson
Alma Fosvick and Gertrude Fosvick
Others have not been reported to us
Miss Alma Fosvick has been given
a two months leave of absence in
district 81 so that she may complete
her work at st. Cloud for her two
year college diploma. Mrs. Evelyn
Observation-Disclosures of Hinckley, has
been chosen to take her place for two
months.
Most graduates will want mounted
picture of the class that Mr.. Gray
took on graduation night. Write to
Photographer Richard Gray, Pine
City. The cost is SO cents.
There seem to be only two vacan-
cies remaining among Pine county
rural schools. We have three avail
able and qualified Pine county resi-
dent teachers for these positions.
District 108, Keene township, has
decided to transport its elementary
and high school pupils by bus to
Cloverton. The school board has
figured to earn the maximum amount
of state aids and at the same time
actually save the entire net income
tax aid for repair work on their
school building. The heated bus will
pass within one-fourth of a mile
from every home where school chill
dren reside. In order to make this
plan possible, Miss Peggy Brown ac-
copied the position in district 26 and
then resigned her position in district
108, for the coming year.
District 81, park township, has two
schools with very small enrollments.
Under present state rules, they are
allowed supplemental aid on the basis
of only one school unit. This situa-
ton results in an annual deficit of
several hundred dollars. By transfer
ing some territory to district 125, and
by closing one school and transporting
to their other school, their annual
deficit will be only about 500. BY
transferring territory and closing both
district 81 schools and transporting to
district 1875, they will be able to cover
all costs with their state aids. This
plan has been recommended by Mr..
Engum of the State Department of
Education. 1t is not yet known what
will be done in district 81 to solve
their problem of two schools and low
enrollments.
