The state university Is sending
out four series of vlctrola records on
the development of music from the
earliest times to the present. The
Dickinson county high school re
ceived the first series of records and
played them In chapel Tuesday and
Wednesday mornings. The records
dealt with the barbaric music of
the Chineso, Indians, Basques, Rus
sians, Hebrews, Greeks and a Greg
orian chant of the early Christians.
The farmers' Institute held here
last week was attended by ninety
one men and women of the commun
ity as well as by several farmers
from over the county. The Instruc
tor said that of about twenty Insti
tutes they have held this season
this was the only one In which the
tuition paid the local expenses. One
of the Instructors In bidding the
ladles goodbye, said that the Dick
inson county high school was one of
the most progressive high schools
ehe has ever seen. This is very com
plimentary, for this lady Is -well
acquainted with the high schools of
Pennsylvania, Idaho and Kansas.
The Institute proved to be such a
success this year that we will have
a more advanced course next year.
There will be a car load of demon
strative material. Including beef
and dairy types of cattle, various
types of horses, hogs and sheep.
The senior play "Esmeralda" was
presented Saturday, Feb. 2fi, to a
crowded house. It was said by many
who were present to be one of the
best plays as far as ability in per
formance and ease and grace of ac
tion were concerned, that has ever
been put over the footlights hi four
years. This Is certainly a compliment
to the cast for only three weeks were
srent In rehearsing the play. The
characters were all well suited to
their parts and several of them act
ed them In a manner that would do
credit to many would be profession
als. The close attention given by
the audience and the continuous
laughter showed that those present
fully appreciated tho good work
done on the stage. The cast was as
fellows: Mr. Rogers, Leroy Taylor;
Mrs. Rogers, Elna Worn; Esmeralda,
Helen Robb; Tho Marquis, James
Bowyer; Dave Hardy, Wlllard Van
Scoyoc; Nora Desmond, Leola Lowe;
Kate Desmond, Laura Deltz; Jack
Desmond, Eugene Huff; George
Drew, Maurice Kilgore; Mr. Esta
brook, Royal Ryan; Maid, Lillian
Davis.
The girls' basketball team played
the first game of the season Satur
day, Feb. 2fi, with the Junction
City high school team. The game
was exciting all the way through,
both sides playing good ball. At the
nook for Commissioner
John Book, one of the old resi
dents of the Talmage neighborhood,
is a candidate for county commis
sioner In the Third district, subject
to the action of the Republican pri
maries. Mr. Book has a wide ac
quaintance in the county and Is one
cf the substantial farmers of the

tute under the direction of H. H.

by the school are printed on the

(From Saturday s Dolly .1
One hundred and fifteen teach
ers In the rural and graded schools
of the county were in attendance at
the meeting of the Dickinson Coun
ty Teachers' association today at
the high school and heard the ad
dress by W. D. Ross, state superin
tendent of public instruction, this
afternoon. Due to Mr. Ross' inability
to be here for the morning session
as arranged, the morning and after
noon programs were reversed. The
sectional gatherings were interest
ing and the discussions in each
proved helpful. The Solomon high
school glee club, which was to fur
nish the music, was unable to come.
Those leading In the sectional
meetings were: Rural, MIbs Bertha
Lesher, Miss Feme Sterner and
Miss Edna Linn; Graded, W. O.
Stark, Solomon, H. E. Turk, Tal
mage, Iva Brown, Solomon and
W. C. Yeager, Enterprise.
Many besides the teachers heard
the state superintendent's addresses
at; the auditorium was filled. Mr.
Ross spoke on the subject, . "The
Application of the Course of Study."
He explained the purposes of the
courses of study and emphasized
that they were not specific in the
plans but were given as suggestive
outlines. Using them as a guidance
the instructor could deviate rom
the set rule and In this way vary
and make more attractive her work
with the pupil. His discussion of the
modern methods of teaching history,
arithmetic and grammer was of
much benefit to those who heard it.
