TWENTY THIRD YEAR
Closing Day Was Very Gratifying
The closing diy of the McCook Jun
ior Normal School last Friday was most
satisfactory to all associated with the
school In addition to the usual inci
dents of the last day there was the
presence of both state and deputy su
perintendent and of Assemblyman RW
V Jones of Otoe county Nominee for
Assembly Philip Glieni of Ked willow
county andothers to lend eclat to the
auspicious occasion
There wore two general assemblies or
meetings during the day at both of
which State Supt Fowler spoke At
the morning session he expressed his
evident pleasure and satisfaction at the
work accomplished- styling it above ex
pectations of the educational department
and the were high Ho spoke at some
length in referring to the splendid oppor
tunities thus afforded the country teach
ers by the state and felt that a marked
improvement must accrue to the state in
the quality of the work done by the
teachers of the future
Philip Glietn of Danbury the Repub
Jicau nominee for member of the next
legislature made a hit in a briof but to-the-point
speech Ho pledged himself
io an earnest and enorgotic support of
proper measures for the good of educa
tional matters in Nebrasku and of the
junior normal idea
The afternoon session opened at two
oclock with a delightful concert by the
famous Slay ton Jubilee Singers those
spoil binders of the musical world An
especially interesting address followed
by Hon R WW Jones of Hoe county
Mr Jones had to admit that ho was at
iirst an opponent of the junior normal
plan However he unlike some others
studied up the matter and later became
a hearty supporter and champion after
making a tour of the state and attend
ing each of the junior normals in com
pany with Deputy State Supt McBrien
Mr Jones has been a resident of Nebras
ka for 35 years counting as among his
personal friends and neighbors Hon J
Sterling Morton whose self given pic
ture ho observed ornamented the wall
of the assembly room of the McCook
high school In an tarly day he was a
teacher himself Had always been and
should ever be a genuine and hearty
champion of educations cause in Ne
braska This was his first trip into the
western part of ihestate and it was good
for his soul to admit that ho would go
home minus a large stock of conceit and
blessed with more information and
knowlege of this section than most
Eastern Nebraskans can boast of or
even dreamed of
Deputy State Supt McBrien and
doubtless our next state supt followed
with a short address in which he dwelt
upon the value of the school just closed
to the state in the better qualification of
its teachers and of the inspiration they
would carry to their pupils in the ses
sions of public schools soon to open over
Nebraska v
Supt Fowler again spoke with some
feeling and in a valedictory strain it be
ing the last time he will visit this part
of the state in the capacity of chief of
the states educational department
which he has served so efficiently for the
past four years
Principal Thomas Profs Miller Mar
tin and Misses Caldwell and OSullivan
each followed in brief words of farewell
all of which were received with a hearti
ness of applause which can easily be
construed as expressing the appreciation
of their labors felt by the members of
the McCook Junior Normal
The following resolutions were then
adopted and the normal adjourned we
hope to meet with us next year in a
more permanent form
Whereas the second and last session of the
McCook Junior State Normal School provided
for by the Nebraska State Legislature of 1903
has reached its close and
Whereas we the teachers in attendance have
been benefitted beyond measure by our
study in the school and by contact with the in
structors and with one another and
Whereastho numbor benefitted by the schools
has been so much greater than the most sangu
ine expectations of those who instituted the
plan had expected it would be and
Whereas so many teachers are of necessity
employed in the schools from September to June
with only the summer months for the much
needed professional training bo it
Resolved That wo adopt the following resolu
tions
First That we carry the inspiration and help
received in the McCook Junior State Normal
into the schools of the various counties here
represented and that so far as we are able we
advocate the permanent establishment of the
Nebraska Junior Normal Schools
Second That we commend roost heartily
State Supt Win K Fowler and Deputy Supt J
Jj McBrien for their influence in establishing
the Junior State Normal Schools thereby
bringing instruction along professional dines
within the possible reach of every teacher in the
state that we express our appreciation of the
successful and untiring efforts of Supt G H
Thomas and of the able corps of instructors
who have assisted him that wo thank the citi
zens of McCook most heartily for their hospi
tality and for their interest in behalf of the
school also that we extend sincere thanks to
the lecturers entertainers and all who have
contributed to the success of the McCook Junior
Normal
Third That we as teachers in behalf of the
schools of the state of Nebraska desire and
urce that the legislators of the state of Ne
braska do at the next session of the legislature
in January 1905 provide for the permanent
establishment of the Nebraska Junior State
Normal Schools

he wjis brought to McCook on No 13

found on the young fellows person Ho
also admitted where he had secured the

A Public Drinking Fountain
For something that has long been
needed it is surprising that no one has
sooner urged the necessity of a drinking
fountain for the public to be established
by tho city authorities somewhere in a
most accessible locality on Main avenue
Now that the matter is being urged upon
the city council we hope tho people of
the city and its businessmen particular
ly will support the request most urgent
ly A public drinking place for horses
and dogs has forv years been a public
establishment One or more for human
beings is none the less urgent The
water company will doubtless bo philan

income from the city Push the drinking

nal insuranco now an absolute necessity
and a great blessing
The Slay ton Jubilee Singors hen fa
vored the large company assembled in
the city with a free concert which was
greatly enjoyed and thoroughly appre
ciated
One of tho attractive features of the
afternoon was the address by Congress
man GW Norris who spoke in eloquent
terms of the order and its work He
held the close attention of a largo con
course of people
The ball game by tho McCook Minden
teams this afternoon resulted in anoth
er victory for the home team
The balloon ascension and parachute
drop had to be declared off on account
of the failure of the individual who con
tracted to be present to appear This
was greatly regretted by the committeo
which was in no measure responsible for
the failure
After supper a band concert the Slay
tons and a grand exemplification of the
order work in the court house closed the
day
SATURDAY
The closing day of the event attracted
the largest crowd of the meeting per
haps 2000 people being added to the

the McCook Juniors won second and 810

Both spoke in laudation of the order and

grand work
After supper the Havelock and Booes
girl band gave concerts on the street
drawing a large audience
And then followed the mask carnival
and The Tribune does not propose to
attempt a pen picture of it Thf re was
a lot of fun which for the most part
was enjoyed by participants and those
looking on There was an immense
gathering on the streets and the hot
time continued for several hours
One of the features of the after supper
entertainment was the high dive made
by Robert Gunn from the top of the 100
foot high stand pipe It was a thrilling
sight made all the more inspiring by
Bobbies pink tights and Johnny Morris
seys super eminent management
At a meeting of the camps Saturday
night it was decided to make these an
nual log rollings a permanent affair and
to strengthen the association by every
available means for the future
The annual meeting of the association
will be held in April at which time it
will be decided where to hold the next
log rolling
The drill work of the Havelock tpam
was a feature of the event And their
band was a most welcome addition to
the amusement and entertainment pro
gram Heres to the Havelock boys
The ladies of the Methodist church
cleared about 8160 in their eating stand
Everything considered it was a success
But we can do better another year
The shirn waist dance in the opera
house in the evening was a conspicuous
success also
There is some difference of opinion as
to whether Bobbie Gunn and Johnnie
Morrissey shall be canonized or canned
for their part in the high dive
