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:

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,

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

There cannot be too much said of
the Murray school house building

Edmunds, O. A. Davis nd Charles

the new structure. They labored hard
