Rockville Notes
The school spirit is excellent, both
on part of patrons and school.
The Rockville high school has two
boys and one girl; a remarkable ratio
in favor of the boys.
The high school and intermediate
rooms joined in a brief but interest
ing Lincoln Day program. Also the
day had a message for the wee tots
of the primary shrough their teacher.
Plans are maturing for a better
supply of song books and an increas
ing interest in singing. The day is
not ..properly begun without music.
Also for closing the day. Ever try it
Our neighboring town, Boelus. is
to be congratulated on the comple
tion and dedication of their splendid
new school building. He who builds
last builds best. Its now Rockvile's
turn.
The true test of the successful teach
er is found in her ability to manage
the abnormal pupils. It is relativly
easy to teach bright, well disposed
pupils the main concern is to keep
out of their way. But it is the dull
the ill-disposed, the abnormal pupils
that try out the teacher. They are
the ones that most need th'ir pa
tience, tact,sympathy, herbestservice
in every way. It’s a severe test but a
j true one.
Wonder if Miss or Mr. Whack-em-in
the-head, box-em-ears and pinch-em
have secured positions in the schools
of Sherman county. Too bad if they
have.
Additional Locals
The editor's family has been in
a sea of turmoil the past ten midst
days, at one and the same time having
Clarence Sweetland wiring the home
for electricity, Geo. Stork painting
things up generally, Art Gilbert and
Frank Martin doing papering and
carpenters doing odd jobs of work
about the house. It will be a case of
working father later for the rhino.
Our young friend. O. P. Gilmore of
Austin,is and has been nursing a bad
hand the past two weeks. He was
grinding a sickle when a piece of the
emery wheel broke ofT falling into
the casting which was broken by the
contact, a piece striking him on one
hand cutting a fearful gash of several
inches’ length between the index and
second finger back to the wrist. It
will be som time before he will be
able to use that member.
The Unity Club entertained the
teachers of our city schools at the
hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs. A.
B. Outhouse last Thursday afternoon
in memory of Washington’s birthday,
the program for the afternoon, the
decorations and all being in perfect
keeping with the day. A choice lun
cheon was also provided and a most
enjoyable time was had.
We learn that Pat Youngquist was
here from his South Dakota home
last week, having been visiting his
parents and friends at Aurora and
coming up here for a day on his way
home to visit his sisters, Mrs. F. E
Kennedy and Mrs. D. L. Jacoby, but
because he failed to call and pay his
respects to this office, we have' de
cided not to mention his being here.
There, now.
We received a pleasant call last
Saturday from our jolly friend, Paul
Heizner of Rockville, who had been
down to Omaha taking in the auto
show. While there, Paul ran across
the following bunch oi Sherman
county lovers of the horseless carriage
who were also in attendance: Will
Criss, Will Schumann,W. G. Odendahl
and Pete Ogle of Loup City, and E.
Dwehus, Henry Bushhausen, W. R.
Henklns and Chris Sorensen of Rock
ville.
Fine School Program
The entertainment given at the
opera house last Friday evening by
the 6 th and 7th grades of our city
schools, under direction of Miss Mc
Gavarn, teacher, received the com
pliment of a crowded house, stand
ing room all being taken and perhaps
an hundred were unable to get into
the hall and were obliged to return
home. The excercises were all of the
very best, every one being at home
in his or her part and doing their
part in perfect ease and with the
best grace. When we look back to
boyhood days and remember the work
it took to make up a school progam
and the backwardness of the average
participant,and then compare it with
the readiness of the boy and girl
today to accept and handle any as
signment given them, we can but
wonder at the change and congrat
ulate the boys and girls of today
over the splendid change for the bet
ter. As we have said the entire
program was of the best and carried
out in the best manner and both teach
er and pupils are to be congratulated
ever the result. The receipts were
$50.10, out of which expenses to the
amount of $15.69 were taken and the
balance goes toward purchasing a
globe ana wall maps for these grades.
