Soon after the Lincoln anniver-
sary S. Weston presented to the
high school a fine picture of Lin-
coln nicely framed and fitted- with
hooks and chains for hanging.
While we have been somewhat tardy
in acknowledging this courtesy , we
fully appreciate it.
The little folks of the primary
room have had grand success with
their box gardens this year. They
now have lettuce large enough to
eat , sweet peas -inches high ,
bunch beans bearing pods one and
one-fourth inches long and quite a
number of other vegetables and '
flowers.
The fad of having a speaker for
graduating exercises instead of the
good old way of having the students
give the entertainment seems to
have run its course in many towns
of Nebraska. We notice by the
school notes in different papers that
i large number of schools will go
back to the old plan this year.
With such instructors Supt.
Gregory of Crete , Supt. Wilson of
Wayne , Supt. Bettenga of Cedar
Rapids and Miss Driscol of Valen-
tine in : the normal , the young peo-
ple who are planning to come to
Valentine this summer are sure to
get that kind of work which will be
of the greatest benefit to them in
their teaching during the coming
year.

class of ' 03 a card which reads as
follows : "The Republican reaches
me every Monday and imagine my
disappointment last week when I
turned its pages and found no school
no test"
Since the students who . are to
graduate from : the 12th grade this
r
year are the same ones who gradu
ated from the 11th grade last year ,
no commencement cards will be is-
sued this year ; but the students are
preparing a nice little program to
be given on Friday evening , May 28.
Everyone is cordially invited to be
pr sEnt.
The Valentine schools now have
three baseball teams as follows :
The high school team , the Nation
als , composed mostly of 7th and 8th
grade boys , and a third team known
as Bryan Quigley's ? forces. The
Valentine Nationals went to Cody
a week ago last Saturday and suc
ceeded in defeating the Cody team
with a score of 9 to 3. Last Friday
the Nationals lined up against the
high school team on the diamond
south of Valentine. The re:3ultr.lS
a score of 15 to 9 in favor of the' '
.
high school.
.our old friend E. P. , Wilson of
I
\\foyne writes us to look up a room
t I
for , ? him during his stay in Valen I
tine for the junior normal work. \
Supt. Wilson is a strong man ' '
among he educators of Nebraska , |
and Valentine is certainly fortunate :
in securing him. He is a man who ! ,
never make loud professions , but ; '
when it comes to doing good , solid t I
work he can always deliver the I
goods. He is to be at the head of I
the Chadron school the coming
year. Having taught with Supt.
Wilson several years in the Lincoln
.
normal we know him to be a man
of sterling'worth.
I
II I
It behooves every person In Cher I
ry county to do everything in his
power to help make the Valentine
I
junior normal a success this year. i
We do not believe the same ! amount !
,
of money appropriated in any other
I
way has done as much good for the
schools of Nebraska as the amount
appropriated for junior normals.
Especially is this true insofar as
Cherry county is concerned. The
teaching force in this county is 100
per cent ' better than it was 'before I
advent of the junior normal. Again , '
without the normal Valentine would I
seem pretty dull during June and
July. To make the normal a suc-
cess this year it is absolutely neces
sary that the citizens of Valentine
throw open their homes aud furnish
board and rooms at prices which
will not seem prohibitive to the
young people who wish to come
here from the surrounding counties.
