report an interesting session in which ^
plans to increase the efficiency of the
high school 'were discussed. In the „
rural round table work conducted by i
Prof. A. V. Teed and Supt. Anna

met and discussed by Miss Ruth Morse r

A good professional spirit was shown
by the teachers in the number who j
were in attendance at both meetings
and the active part taken in the dis
cusstons. I believe every teacher who '
attended these meetings feels well re- ■
paid in the inspiration received by be- r
irig prsent. Why would not a get- £

P. ’tubers and Patrons throughout the

ENGLAND LAUNCHES
NEW PEACE OFFENSIVE '
Harry J. Boland, representative oi ,
the Irish Republic, has issued the fol- ]
lowing reply to England’s latest pre- j
tended plea for peace in Ireland:
“A new peace offensive is being
launched against the Irish Republic.
England would have the world believe
she is anxious for peace at the time 1
she is carrying on her campaign of
assassination, burning, looting and rt 1
prisals behind the smoke screen of <
peace thus created by her news ser- *
vice. Side by side with the morning’s
peace terms (3-12-21) we read that 1
General Macready’s courts martial <
have sentenced to be hanged Bernard '
Ryan, Patrick Doyle, Thomas Ryan 1
and Frank Flood. This is the peace ^
England offers Ireland. This peace
propaganda is in line with England’s ■
traditional policy to get the world to
believe she is anxious for peace and at
the same time her troops are guilty of
every possible abomination in Ireland.
The representatives of the Irish peo
ple have time after time expressed
their desire for peace. England can
have peace to-morrow by withdrawing
her army of occupation and her uni
formed assassins from Ireland. Dail
Eireann has issued a manifesto to the
world pledging the people of Ireland
and their representatives to be faithful
to the cause of an independent Irish
Republic until death. Our friends in
America need no assurance of Ire
land’s determination to pay the full
crice for liberty on this day. They can -
best aid in answering this peace pro
paganda of England by a determined
''(fort to secure the recognition of the
Irish Republic from their Govern
ment.
HARRY J. BOLAND.”

>’NEILL^UINT MAKES
GOOD SHOWING
The O’Neill High School Basket
Jail team returned Sunday from their
rip to Lincoln, where they partici
ated in the eleventh annual basket
all tournament, the greatest thing of
;s kind anywhere. Over 2000 athletes
ook part in the festivities, the teams
eing divided into thirteen classes—
be division being made according to
be record made, the size of the floors
layed on, and the tournament ex
erience.
The O’Neill team, due, no doubt, to
er good record was placed in class G,
bout half way down. None of the
oys had had tournament experience
nd were thus handicapped. The first
ame was played with Alma, a team
luch larger than the O’Neill quint,
nd one which has attended several
oiynaments. The game Was played
n the Y. M. C. A. floor, with a good
ttendance most of the crowd pulling
or O’Neill.
Alma got away to a fast start, hav
ig caged two baskets before the
ame was three minutes old, and be
jib tne iMjys gui uvcr uieu
tage fright and knew they were in a
asket ball game. They, then settled
own to business, and the half ended
0 to 4 in favor of the southerners. In
he second half O’Neill came back
trong and all but overcame the lead,
aging two baskets in the final few
linutes of play, and ready to cage an
ther, when the whistle sounded. The
ame ended 14 to 12. Mellor and
!eha showed up well for O’Neill, and
vith the experience the whole team
:ot from the play, they should form
n excellent combination for the com
'tg season. They have a very good
ecord for the season just ended, and,
s they lose no men by graduation,
hey should put up a bold front next
eason.
Being put out in the first round, the
I’Neill boys were free to see other
■ames, and were particularly inter
sted in the Class A games, the cream
f the tournament. Commerce . High
f Omaha, were declared the winners
fter sailing through with flying
olors, and anyone who ‘witnessed the
day of this team, would declare that
1 was the best team. Mahoney, the
Commerce star forward, was placed
m every all-state team picked by the
everal sport writers.
The boys making the trip with Prof
iolden, were Harold Hammond, Joe
leha, Ralph Mellor, George Stannard.
