tutes prime edible meat.

, been chosen-by the teachers wm-
mittee of the state board to be
critic teacher in the new Chadron
normal school. The state board
will meet Jan. 17th to ratify this
choice , What is our loss will be
the Chadron normal's gain. This
is a merited honor.
Under the direction. of Miss
Carroll the 7th grade pupils artis
tically decorated their room for
their Xmas program. Mrs. Mil
ler's and Miss Carrqll's room gave
a joint program , which owing ' to
the large number of visitors whom
they were pleased to welcome ,
was given in the high school room.
It was pleasant to hear so many
fine singers from these grades.
Misses Driscoll , Neison and
Gordon and their pupils desire to
thank Mr. Clarkson for the fine
Xmas tree donated by him for
their Xmas exercises. It served
to give their program more of a
Xmas meaning. The program
was fine and there were presents
for everyone. Teacher's and pu
pils deserve much credit for the
time and labor spent to make it
successful.
The lecture on "Men Wanted"
by Ir. Sanderson of Fremont was
very fine and listened to by many
of the progressive teachers of
Cherry county and citizens of Val
entine. The music by the high
school orchestra and girls' quartet
was highly enjoyed by all. Supt.
Cora Thackrey responded to a
call from the teachers by a brief
and appropriate address. The
teachers' interesting
meeting was very
esting and helpful. Those who
responded with prepared papers
were Mrs. Lottie Cramer , Miss
Carlson , Mrs. Miller , Mrs. Stewart - ,
art , Mr. Husted and Supt. Betten-
ga. The address by Dr. Caldwell
was interesting and full of good
thought. The round table dis
cussions on e-very day topics were
animate , practical and .helpful.
Much credit is due Supt. Mrs.

meetings.
