Mrs. Gould and Sirs. Iloenig were
visitors in Miss Easom's room one day
last week.
The class of 190'J have begun to
consider commencement and its attend
ant tribulations.
We leceived our report cuds Mon
day for the preceding six weeks. There
wasrnucha\eragingof grades and com
paring of averages among the seniors.
Miss Cumbow , of the class of ' 01 ,
who has been taking post-graduate
work this year , recently turned in her
books not intending to complete the
semester.
A number of Clo d ( uigi ? } 'M feuhuoi
mates were very pleasantly entertained
at the home of his parents last Thurs
day evening in honor of Cloyd's lif-
tesnth birthday.
Once upon a time , a great many
years ago , there lived a student who
always took class notes , kept his time
card conscientiously and studied his
spelling lesson. His species is now ex-
linct. This fable teaches that over
work is always duly punished , nud that
the warning has not been in vain to |
otht-rs.
Ever since we began to increase our
library by public entertainments , we
have been entreated by scores of per
sons to sell reserved seats ; but we have
steadily refused , believing it to be more
in keeping with the principle of our ,
free schools to have the doors opened
ava certain hour and charge only the
general admission for all. However I
at our last two entertainments tie
stairway leading to the hall became so
ciowded that it was necessary to throw
i"I the doors long before the appoint
ed hour to prevent accidents. There
fore to prevent the jam next week we
will sell eighty reserved seats at 25 cts.
each. The general admission will be
10 and 15c as usual. Tickets will be
placed on sale at Quigley's drug store
on Wednesday morning March 10th.
Our program will be shorter this time
than usual , but we expect to fully
make up in quality what it lacks in
quanity.
FREE ATTENDANCE HIGH SCHOOL LAW.
For years the different legislatures
of Nebraska have been trying to pass
a law whereby the high-schools shall
be free to country pupils as well as
town pupils. At the last legislature a
law was passed which is generally
thought to be quite satisfactory. This
law provides that pupils who have
finished the Work of the country schools
so as to be able to do the 9th'grade
work in a graded school shall havp
their tuition paid from the general
fund of the county. Before this law
can be put in operation in any county
it must be adopted by the voters of
sa'd county. All the school districts
of Cher-y county except the Valentine
High School Dist. form one adjunct
district. The people in general paid
very little attention to this matter at
the last election and as a consequence
there lacked eighteen votes of being
enough to make the law operative in
this county. Voters in Valentine have
no voice in this matter except to agree
to receive the pupils. Jt is for the
voters of the adjunct districts to say
whether the law shall become opera
tive in this county. The expense will
be a mere trifle. nof exceeding one-
twentieth ot one per cent on the valua
tion. To make the matter plainer , if
a man is now naying $160 tax he would
pay one dollar extra ; if one now pays
$40 he would pay about twenty-five cts.
extra if the law should become opera
tive in this county.
If the countv schools of Cherry Co.
wish us * o furnish teachers all they have
to do is to furnish us plenty of students
for our high ichool. but thit > thuy can
not do unlesb th < ; y are willing to rueet
the trifling expense for tuition. Tho
parents of many young persons who
would make excellent students can illy
afford to pay the tuition and certainly
Valentine cnn not be expected to fur
nish it entirely free. Already Valen
tine is charging just one-half what
many other similar schools are charg
ing. Our State Stipt. of Pub. Inst.
thinks that the reason that not more
votes were cast upon this question last
June is that it was not nnderstoorl.
There is yet over three month.be
fore a school meeting , plentv of time
for the matter to be thoroughly invest
igated by those interested.
