EDUCATIONL NOTES
SUPT. R. H. WATSON , Editor
Eliza Hobson is at her home in
the country this week on account
of a severe cold.
Maude Rowley , who attended
the O'Neill academy up to Xmas ,
is back at her work in Miss Carl
son's room again.
Grace Hobson called last Friday
to talk over school matters. She
ixpected to begin teaching in the
Ward district , just north of Val-
intine , this week.
Before leaving for their work
in the State University , Annie and
Carrie Stetter spent an hour last
Thursday afternoonlistening to
; he ' 'leventh grade English class.
A copy of volume 1 , No. 1 , of
j the "Alumni Echo" reached our
desk this wiek , It is edited by
Fred M. Pile of the Nebraska
Normal College at Wayne. If he
is able to keep the pace he has set
in the first number it will be one
of the best college papers in Ne
braska.
Miss McKercher says she will
send some strong students from
the Grammar room into the High
school next year. She might have
prepared a much larger class for
the High school had not some of
the pupils of her room allowed
such trivial excuses to cause them
to neglect their work.
The class of 1901 of the Valen
tine high school has given us Jef-
fers , the doctor : Sawyer , the law
yer ; Hoenig , the banker ; Daven
port , the merchant ; Curnbow , the
teacher ; and Mesdames Vincent ,
Stedifer and Rawls , the house
keepers. There were eight in the
class , and certainly no drones.
Elsie Foster returned to school
this week , after an absence of
three weeks. Her room-mates ,
Lillie and Grace Grooms and
Blanche Hutchison are still at
their homes in the country and we
presume they will not return to
school this year. We are very
sorry -the girls have been so un
fortunate with their school work
this year.
The class of 1905 consisted of 15
members : Ina Spratt , George
Ayers , Bs i Schifferns an-1 Bes
sie Gaskill began teaching last
autumn ; Agnes Taylor began
teaching at Kennedy last week ,
and Ethel Sherman began teach
ing in the Williams' district this
week ; Margaret Quigley entered
Bellevue college and Ruth Stetter
the state university last Septem
ber ; Annie and Carrie Stetter
went to Lincoln this week to enter
the state university ; Ckudia Wells

is in Omaha studying music ; Net
tie Handy is with her parents ir
Crawford ; John Harvey is work
ing for Mr. Cornell ; Willie Haley
is working in his father's real es
tate office ; Louis Hoenig is clerk-
iiig in the Red Front. Thus it
will be seen that the members of
this class are following pretty well
the good examples set by former
c'assps. '
One of the Wyoming papers of
last week says that LeRoy Saw
yer , the promising young lawyer
to whom the Wyoming legislature
conceded the honor of nominating
-the U. S. senator for that state ,
made a brief , but very effective
speech in making the nomination.
In the years to come we shall not
be surprised to hear that LeEoy
himself has been elected to the U.
S. senate.
For the sake of comparison we
publish this week Longfellow's
fir&t poem. His teacher told him
to write a composition and not to
try to write about the stars or the
north pole nor the Sahara Desert ,
but to look around him and find
some object that he knew some
thing about. Henry hunted about
some time and finally saw a turnip
growing in a neighbor's yard.
Surely he knew something about
turnips. The following poem was
the result :
LONGFELLOW'S FIRST POEM :
VIr , Pitiney had a turnip
And it grew behind the barn ;
[ t < { rew there and It grew there ,
And the turnip did no harm.
It jrrew and it grew ,
Till it could ffet no taller.
Mr. Finney pulle.l it up
And put it in the cellar.
It lay there and it lay there ,
Till it bejran to rot :
Ris daughter Sally took it up
And put it in the pot.
She boiled it and she boiled it
As long ; as she was able ;
His daughter Peggy ; fished it out
And put it on the table.
Mr. Finney and his wife ,
They sat down to sup ;
They ate and they ate
Till they ate the turnip up.
Mrs. C. E. Connell was on the
sick list the first of this week but
is better at this writing.
The Episcopal ladies will give
another sale of cooked articles at
T. C : Hornby's store Saturday ,
Feb. 9 , from 10 to 2 p m. There
will be pies , cakes , puddings ,
sauces , breads , jellies , baked beans ,
salad dressing , doughnuts , cook
ies and various good things to eat.
Be sure and remember the date.
