It lias been only n few weeks
since eighth grade graduating ex
ercises were held in different
jlaces throughout the county ,
celebrating the fact Unit the above
named young people have coin-
pleted the common school course
of Htudy prescribed , in general ,
for all the common school in No-
brashn. All lovers of progress and
education rejoice with them and
believe in honoring those to whom
honors are due. It is only right
that they should receive public
recognition and congratulations
because they have boon faithful
nnto the end of this course and
have done what lees than 8 pel-
cent of the pupils in HichardHon
County accomplish
His a sad fact that over 70 per
cent of our pupils quit school before -
fore the reach the sixth grade.
0(5 ( per cent never enter the high
school. Still our high schools
are kept up nt a big expense for
only four percent of the total enrollment -
rollment of our schools All the
people , of course , pay taxes help
support our high schools. And
how strange it is that only a few
parents give their children the
benefit of this higher education.
When we consider what these
figures mean , it is evident that
something must be done to keep
the children in school. These
eighth grade graduating exercises
and public recognition of eighth
grhdiutes encourage pupils to
complete the common school
course , the first eight grades. And
when the eighth grade is once
completed , boys and girls proper
encouragement , as anxious to go
and iinish the high school. Now ,
Nebraska has planned to give sixteen -
teen years of free education to all
our boys and girls. In general
we say , four years primary grades ,
four intermediate , * four high
school , four at the State Univer
sity. A pupil entering school at
five years of age and making a
grade each year , would complete
this course when twenty-one. The
idea is to have every Nebraska
boy and girl to complete this
course.
Why is it that so few pupils are
in higher grades ? Why do so
many quit school before they reach
even the seventh , eighth , or ninth
grades ? Sometimes it is the fault
of the parents , sometimes of the
teacher sometimes of the pupil
themselves and sometimes it is
because of adverse circumstances.
These are great questions for
school people to solve. Wo hav
en't space to discuss them here
except to say , that many pupil
were promoted before they were
prepared for a higher work.
Sometime this is done through
ignorance , sometimes to please
the school broad , sometimes to
please and encourage influential
parents and sometimes it is done
simply to make a gooil showing
It is a great injustice to the pupils
to be promoted too soon. Such
pupils , not being able to do the
advance work , become discouraged
and rather than to have the chil
dren humiliated by being put
back , the parents take them out of
school. Now , 2i per cent .of the
total enrollment of the schools in
the county are in the ninth grade ,
but only one.fourth of one per
cent complete the high school.
Disappointment and discourage
ment cau-ed by hping promoted
too soon , is largely the cause of
this poor showing , And still as
it is clearly shown by the state
Superintendent's report , Richard
son county schools rank among
the best in the state.
What bright and promising boys
and girls these eighth grade
graduates are ! But , dnrin the
past few years only one-third of
the eighth grade graduates of the
county have entered the high
school. We hope all of these
young people will be in the high
school next year. We trust their
parents and friends will encourage
them to go on and oompleto the
high school course. These young
people stand out us the product of
the common schools ( the first
eight grades ) of this county.
Men and women of affairs realise
that the time will soon come when
these young people must take
their places. And we want the
children to reali/e this. This in ,
in many respects , the most important -
tant time in the lives of these
young poeple. Will they go on ,
overcome difficulties , finish our
Nebraska Course of Study , and
bo prepared to do the greatest
good in this world , or ate they
going to he content with a common
school education ? It will depend
upon themselves , their friends ,
and parents. Many a boy with
ability , hope and ambition has
said , "Father , give mo a chance ,
let me gain an education and have
an equal chance with other young
men i.n this busy , busy , business
world. " Parents , it maybe that
you cannot give your children
broad acres or other wealth , but it
is within your power to give them
a finished education. It is your's
to make sacrifices , if necessary , in
order to put your children on an
equal educational footing with the
children of your more prosperous
neighbors. Yes , give your boys
and girls a chance.
Now , the time was a few years
ago , when it was possible for a
person with only a common school
education to attain wealth , power ,
and prominence. But times have
changed , those daye are past.
Statistics show that a young per-
son's chances to become successs-
ful , prosperous , and prominent in
life will be small , unless they en
ter the high school or someother
higher institution of learning ,
bend to the oar , love the work , and
finish the course.

How He Started.
Nine years ago the janitor of
the court house in a tittle west
ern town started to the store to
buy groceries on Saturday night
for the morrow. With him was
his little daughter , and he had
only one dollar for the purchas
es. They came to a merry-go-
round set up on the main street
and stopped to watch the whirl
ing hobbyhorses and the swing
ing seats.
"Come on , giyc the little girl
a ride ? " called the man in
charge and the janitor look the
advice. Before ho left the spot
with its then novel amusement
he had spent eighty-five cents
out of the dollar with which he
started. His wages was only
thirty-live dollars a month , and
his credit at the stores was , in
consequence , light.
Going home with lifteen cents
worth of food , he thought about
the evening's experience. His
meditation did not run torecim-
inalion for his extravagance ,
but were something like this :
"If that whirling-horse machine
could get eighty-five cents out
of my only dollar , badly as I
need money , it must be able to
get money out of most anybody.
I believe I can make more run
ning one of them than I can
working by the month. " He
talked it over with his wife and
early in the spring mortgaged
his household goods in order to
make a payment on a merry-go-
round , which lie took to a neigh
boring village. It met his ex
pectations. Soon he sold it at
an advance and bought a better
one. Then he bought anotber
and another. One day at a
county fair he took in $500 ; one
circus day his receipts were
$450.
The idea of catering to the
amusement loving public took
hold of him. Merry-go-rounds
were for children and young-
people ; they could not run in
winter. He worked out a plan
for a shooting gallery in which
the marks were moving figures
birds , wolves , rabbits , foxes
all were kept swiftly moving by
a small gasoline engine. He
set up a little shop and began
the manufacturing , merry-go-
rounds , shooting galleries , etc.
Soon people began to get what
is known as the street fair
craze. Mr. Parker saw a good
field open and being pretty .well
started with his little factory ,
increased the si/.e of same and
started in to supplying the de
mands of the fair people. Then
he thought if these people can
buy my stuff and make money
in their small ( and very otten
dishonest ) way , w h y can't I
build all the stuff , put out a real
honest 'carnival company and
make money.
He built the show and-put it
out. It was small , but working
on the principle of "honesty is
the best policy" the little show
was unusually successful. Now
Mr. Parker has three companies
on the road , with another in ,
preparation , all moving on their
special train , owning all their
shows and amusement divices ,
with everything manufactured
at the factory in Abilene.
Mr. Parker now is a rich man.
His factories are the largest in
the city of Abilene , lie has in
his employ some IfiOO men and
he has quite properly earned
the title of "The King of clean
moral amusement. "
The largest of Mr. Parker's
shows will exhibit in Falls City
one week commencing July 24 ,
under the auspices of the Mer
chants association.
