CHB ONLY DEMOCRATIC PAPER IN
WEII8TER COUNTY
My Dear Mr Hale:
I Your kind Invitation of recent date,
tendering to me the olllce of Editor in
Chief for this week ban been received.
After careful consideration, I accept
your tender as graciously an n child
would accept a stick of dynamite,
which may bo very harmless In Its out
ward appearance but dangerous to the
budding hope of an editorial novice.
Nothing, however, could have in
duced me to accept tho invitation had
it not been that the other professional
men of our oily have so boldly us
Burned the responsibility of editing
your paper. During the past three
weeks the Chief has uiadu its appear
once in three disguises, first as a dear
old lady dressed In the latest hammer
patterned skirt, weuring a socialistic
cape of somber colors and topped oil'
with a non-sectarian merry w Idow hat;
the following week our solonc, dis
guised as rodents of tho llystrluldiie
family, genius Krethlon, shot the
dear old lady of tho previous week so
full of quills that they entliely de
faced the pattern of her skirt. At the
time this is written, 1 am tumble to
prognosticate what its third disguise
will be, but it Is safo to puc-s, that
the Chief will make its appearance in
the prettiest little dress of variegated
booster adlcts such as lied Cloud has
never seen before. This week you
will be treated to facts only, facts un
questioned, facts that are axioms,
namely the Ked Cloud Schools are
second to no others, are almost in a
class by themselves, the best this side
ofJeriCO. l'Kl)A(l)(H'K.

Since September 1st more than
twenty schools in the state have in
stalled school gtotiod apparatus. We
are just beginning to realize that if we
wish to make good citizens of our
boys ami girls, we must ditect their
play as well us their work. Aside
from the pleasure it provides for the
children, school ground apparatus
proves to bo the be-.t means yet de
vised to mnlntaiu good order on the
school grounds and to minimize im
moral tendencies.
Ked Cloud has the laigest high

From the above record Lexington is
the only town in the state, whose per
cent ol high school students as com
pared to the school census is greater
than Ked Clouds
A number of cities in tho state with
a school population altnoit three. times
as great as ours have a smaller high

for itself as to the intclliKcnco and

Ked Cloud as compared to other com

Sports of the
High School
Uoys Hasket Ball was played this
year for the ilrst time. The boys have
played well, but have lost the most
part of their games The loss
of a couple of tho best players
have handicapped the team to u great
extent. We have divided honors with
Ulue Hill, while Franklin, Guide Pock
and Cowles have belteted us by nar
row margins. Wo hopo to take the
return mimes with Franklin and
liiildo Itoek. We will make a desper
ate effort to letteive our fortunes In
the coining base ball season.
The high school football team met
with varied successes and defeats. On
the whole season they made uneven
break with their opponents, wining
tliiee, losing tluee and tying two. The
scoioof Ked Cloud is much holier
than their opponents. Lack of weight
uudexpoiicnco was the chief handi
cap to their success at Ilrst. The team
buffered quite a loss at the very start,
Captain Saundeis bull'eriug iujuiies iu
the Ilrst game that kept him out all
season. The letiirn to school of Kis
sel Amaok strengthened tho team in
a very material way. Turntire, Pope
and IMacklcdgc did commendable
work iu the back Held. Thej will be
very valuable to ttie team next year.
Iu the two Icoutests witli Franklin
Academy the boys were badly out
weighed. In the last name the ball
was in the academy's tenitory most of
tho time, uudbut for 1111 element of
luck that enters iuto all games the
score would have been different.
The Ilrst game was with the alumni.
This was a bitterly contested affair,
which ended in a tit. This game re
t reived the tlnanolal fortunes of the
team, aud enabled them to buy sweat
ers. On the whole the season might be
said to be a success, for the boys iu
their hardest games, when they weie
beaten the worst, did not quit but kept
up tho "pep" aud played harder. After
all the questiou iu any game is not
whether the game is wou or lost, but
how was it won or lost.

To hear .some of our good citizens
t.ilk it is very evident that they have
enjoyed a Kip Van Winkle's nap. They
can not or will not btleivo that school

After the completion of the Lincoln
building till ee years ago, we congratu
lated ourselves that the question of
school room was finally solved for
many yeais to come. The new build
ing could easily accommodate a high
school omoUmcnt of i:0 students.
Loss than tluee years after the com
pletion of tho tiew building wo find it
iteccbMiry to crowd III) children Into
the Lincoln ltuilditig and lbl into the
old one. During tho past year It. has
been necessary to tefuse admission to
beginners for want of room aud at pres
ent new urrlvals are only accepted
when a gap has been made by a child
leaving the disttict or being promoted.
Nor does the future promise to amelio
rate this condition Pieseut indica

Last week the Hastings Republican
informed tho public that the Hastings
school authorities had disciplined '20
high school boys for some infraction of
tlie rules by requiring them to "learn
by heart" the Declaration of Independ
ence before they could be reinstated iu
school.
(J rent guns and little llshes? I-, it
possible that such mental abuse i-.
tolerated iu what pusses as n civilized
community? Or is tills merely an at
tempt at joking by a reporter recover
ing from u Kut.eiijiuniuei',' If "study''
is a punishment the Hastings author
ities inflict on 20 o I lenders fur some
act of lawlessness, what otVeusc have
the other thtco thousand childiun com
mitted who sue required to study daily
from 0 u. in., to 1 p. in.'.' Such sense
less ticts on the part of those who
should know better, furnishes indis
putable evidence to the child that
study is not u privilege to be desired
but rather a punishment to be avoided
provided he can dodge the truunt olllc
or. We know of tint one sound method
of procedure us it applys to school discipline
Kemovetemptatious if possible.
All to the child's common sense
