Murray, - Nebraska DEDICATION OF THE JEW SCHOOL HOUSE An Excellent Program Prepare-el for the Occasion unci a Most Interest ing Occasion AH Round. Friday, November PL 1914. was a gala day in Murray. The litth? vil lage shone in all its splendor in the-cele-brat ion of the dedication of the new high school. The Murray school and the community have waited anx iously for the completion of this building; all agreed in the fact that if the standard of our school was kept abivast of the best schools of the county a better building and better equipment were necessary. An elaborate piogram was ar ranged by the s. iiool facultv, Prof. Ray Hull, Airs. Stanton and Miss Peulah Sans. The rooms, corridors and hall.? were artistically decorated by the dif ferent elass-'s. The largo i;r:occip.ed room on the se.-o:i i floor was taste fully arranged with long tables ;.nd decorations into an i". siting banquet hall. A horde of b:;giH. clean Wiil: children in their b.s. bib and tucker made the crisp au,. :::!! air ring with their merry laugnter. From t"ie ta!' flag stall" surnvrta1 ing the lu.i'ding Old Glory waved liberty and five.ior:i from superstition through education. All were there, ! st rong liig. lit tle, old and young. Harmony atal good fellowship pervaded the' air like the fragrance of roses in June time. In the banquet hall the tables lad er.ed with the good things for the inner-man were ready at 12 m. prompt, and by 2:M' 4f' hungry persons were satisfied. Immediately after the benefit din ner a large audience packed the lower lecture room to enjoy the entertain ment. The program was opened by everybody singing "America," led by Miss Neva Latta and Aliss Alarjorie Walker. This was followed by a iluet by Aliss Latta and Aliss Alae Lough-ridge- "Oh. That We. Too, Were .Maying." Next Prof. Hull introduced Aliss Lathrop of Lincoln, assistant in spector of rural schools in Nebraska, one of the foremost educators in America, who delivered an address on "Our Public Schools." Her idea is that our schools should prepare the child for a practical, useful life and to teach in our schools only those things which will accomplish his. Latin and many other useless things should not be crammed down the child's throat. The school house should be a social neuter. It belongs to the people and should be used by them. It is the plar for lectures. entertainments and political meetings. In her final thought, Aliss Lathrop held that to build up the most ellicient school the slogan of each community should be, "Punctuality, regularity in attendance and co-operation between the home and the school." Aliss Alarquett of Avoca, county superintendent-elect, gave a short, in teresting talk on the "Modern School House." She will keep her eye on the Murray school and feels sure that the money spent for educational pur poses will let urn good profits to the district. O. A. Davis gave a talk on "How It Happened," outlining the various steps in buihling our schoed. Dr. Gil more followed with a short talk on "What it Takes to Alake a School," holding to the ielea that children are one e-ssential factor to make a school. M. G. Churchill read two poems for the occasion, as follows: THE OLD PLAY GROUND. The Time Will Soon Be Here when you will need that new Heater. We want to call your attention to the Favorite 1 TK .oimo uaic Furnaces .oom Heat H eaters, and ore There are no better Steves and heating plants on the market than the Round Oak.

Now. we should all be pushers for the good of the cause, And work together without a pause; For school, you ki;--.-.1, is the start of life, And without an Education you will have a hard strife. A C hip Off the Old Block. w. Will is a model little boy of md has a financial head on him his f; th.er. He was given two dinner tickets to sell at the school lit, use at l." cents each. His mother met hi:n a half hour later and in qu i red : 'Will, did you sell those tickets?" "Yes." "What el id you do with the money?" "Bought popcorn and punch." "Why, Will That money belongs to the school!" "I know it and haven't thev got it?" Which was true. They had the money and where was there any kick coming? (By M. G. Churchill.) Read at the New School House November 13. 1!14. The dearest spot on earth you know, Where the warm spring sun Would melt the snow, Was the old school house That stood on the hill, Though it was loiv ago, It is standing still. The same tone of the bell Still rings in the air; But the old-time scholars Are never there. Thev are scattered afar O'er hill and glen; Oh, where are the children We played with then? Now our minds stroll back To the time you know, When the old school grounds Were covered with snow; Skating and sliding Vas the amusements then, But now all the children Are women and men. Now we are Hearing the time When the bells will tone From the great High school, Which will call us home, Where we'll meet our classmates, Teachers and all; So be prepared to ansyver the call. There is only one thing for the chil dren that is free; And it grows not in the ground or not upon tree; This you will never find while out for recreation. But you will find it in the school room --- that's an education. Ami now since we have moved in the building so new, I will suggest to the scholars what they should do: That is, respect your teac hers ane treat them well, And be in the school-yard before the last bell. When the exercises were all fin-ishe-d excepting the shouting the stu dent body did justice to this in their school yell: "AI AI Alur r ay, "M M Mur r ay, "AI AI Alur r ay, Murray High School, Ki vi yi!" Games of various kinds followe-d on the school play ground. Base ball, basket ball and races were among the sports. A footing up of the different booths which were run for the purpose of buying such equipment as each room felt it needed showed the following proceeds : Miss Sans' room ? : to M iss Stanton s room o l2 Prof. Hull's classe-s 5 7f Dinner 4!) o Total Aliss Queen, teach e-- at Creek, was present with her Rock school. Notes on High School Exercises. Col. Jenkins gave the school chil dren on dedicatiem elay a treat of twenty-five pounds of candy, which was distributed in the evening among the youngsters. Air. W. J. Philnot, who has just returned from his ranch in the west ern part of the state, was an inter ested spectator with his wife, at our eledication exercises. II. J. Thiele and wife, of Alt. Pleasant pi'cinct, were at our cele bration last Friday. Air. Silas Houston, of South Oma ha, was among the celebrators on high school hill. Chris Miller has returned to Mur ray and is the jainror of the new school building. He sure makes a good one. There cannot be too much said of the Murray school house building committee, which was composed of W. G. Boedeker, Dr. G. II. Gilmore. John Edmunds, O. A. Davis nd Charles Spangler. Their efforts were untiring when it came to the betterment of the new structure. They labored hard and long from the beginning to the end, while every taxpayer in the dis trict deserves a share of the glory, there is just a elouble amount due these gentlemen, who have taken such an active part in the movement.
