~School Notes~

Albert SCHWAB and Henry LaJAUNE of Festus School, Elmer SIEVERS of House Springs School, and Dora JEUDA of Koch Valley School are the first four pupils of the county to receive the Honor Diploma representing twenty-five months of perfect attendance.  These four pupils have credit for five Certificates of Award each and the Honor Diploma was duly awarded each pupil.

 

     The closing exercises of the House Springs School Thursday May 1, was an even that will not be forgotten soon.  Miss Katie E. CREAN finished the present term.  At noon a beautiful feast was spread of all the good things to eat in the community of House Springs.  It was good to be there.  An excellent program was presented in the afternoon and also in the evening.  Every number was enjoyable, the pupils exhibiting thorough drilling from their ever faithful teacher.  Judge DUNNIGAN being inspired by his old school spirit drove over from Hillsboro to be present.  He spoke in the afternoon and again at night.  His appeals to the children for the higher ideals of life will make lasting impressions on young minds and hearts.

     Mr. Earnest BONACKER, the genial business left the whirl of the tireless mill behind him and was present at this educational gathering.  He knows the worth of education, the value of community of high schools and he never fails to defend the broad principals of education and to plead the cause of the children whenever occasion offers.

     Were he to have his way, the country high school would be brought within reach of every child in our county.  He would expect the worth of genuine improvements, increase in farm values, and the greater volume of business resulting there from, would more than repay the increase in tax.  The audience got the force of Mr. BONACHER’s excellent address.

     Earl WILLIAMS and Raymond LEIGHT made a great bit with their music.  Earl with the violin and Raymond with the guitar.  Raymond LEIGHT represented the Bear Creek School.

    Such events as this one are the life and spirit of any community.  The school and home are made to feel that their functions, the development of child life, are the same the parents are led to realize the worth of the true teacher.
