Last Thursday night the court room was filled with an audience interested in educational matters and particularly so with regard to the graduates of the rural schools of the county. Superin­tendent Clendennen had made ample preparation for the event both as to program and minor details necessary to the success of the entertainment. A. Brady Beck and Miss Emma Carlson looked after the floral offerings, with Miss Alice' Rndolph and Miss Jean Linn as flower girls. Miss Marie Ave-rill and Miss Palma Anderson assisted those who sang with piano accompani­ment. Miss Lila Rogers, Miss Katha­rine Gemmill, Mr. L. D. Milne, and Mr. James Pattee Bang solos during the evening, all of which were heartily enjbyed by the audience.

Parents and teachers of the youthful graduates were present to enjoy the triumph of sons and daughters and pupils. It was a pleasant event, one that carries with it the triumphs of youth into middle life. All did well, remarkably well, while a few among the many, surprised everyone with evidence of careful study and determi­nation to win recognition as speakers and readers.

Miss Gertie Reddinguis was the first speaker, and chose as her subject "South Dakota." She did very well and reviewed the history of our young commonwealth with great intelligence. Ernest McKellips was the next spea­ker. His subject was "Success," and he proved that he had studied his sub­ject, because he succeeded as a speaker. Maud Hicks followed and discnssed "Cheerfulness as a Duty." and she proved her belief in the subject by her cheerfnl, happy address. Gussie Lu-beck spoke of "The Boers" and their history in an entertaining manner. Ethel Noble spoke of "Honesty" in life and contended that it was a policy that successfully stood the test of ages "The American Indian" found a friend and able advocate in Lottie Opsal. "Government" was the subject die-cussed by Harry Kehm, and he proved to be a perfect little prator, easy, natu­ral, confident, , with a good "The True Life of a Nation" by Pearl Penniston, was a subject discussed. Olive Gee spoke of tentment" in a charming contented way, while Elsie Hunt discussed "The Life of Our Nation-' historically and well. .Clara Holter chose as hei; sub­ject, "Why Childhood is the Happiest Time in Life," and Clara convinced the audience that childhood was indeed the happiest period of human existence. Harriet Beck spoke on "Life's Work," a subject broad enough for statesmen and she proved that her study of the snbject had been broad and deep, and her review of this grand work was in­telligently and ably presented. "An Hour in the Kitchen," was very inter­esting from a girl's standpoint, as viewed by Ella Johnke. Jndith Gre gnson spots on "Sonth Dakota," and her discourse was historically interest ing. Samuel Fahlberg selected a wide open snbject for his discnsslon, towit "Puff Advertisements." It takes i mighty able man to discriminate on where a "puff" begins and ends, and if paid for or free, and as to its merits in general, and whether it is a "puff" or real stuff, but Samuel tackled the snb­ject like a gray haired veteran and closed with the "puff" question nnde cided. "A Few Observations of the Patft" occupied Maybelle Minor's atten­tion while she held the platform, and her observations v^ere charmingly pic tared in word painting. Bernice Oli ver spoke on "Home," and no sweeter or more endearing word is found in onr language. Bernice is a fine speak er, and is graceful and natural on the platform. Irene Dann closed the speaking with a "Trip Among the Cliff Dwellers," an interesting and well told story.

County Superintendent Clendennen, in a few words closed the entertain ment and presented each youthful aspirant for further honors with a diploma.
