The bulk of mankind are schoolboys through life.
Those who labor in the earth are the chosen people
of God.

I steer my bark with hope in the head, leaving fear
astern.
Never suffer a thought to be harbored in your mind
which you would not avow openly.

That one hundred and fifty lawyers should do busi­
ness together ought not to be expected.
Above all thingsand in all times, practice yourself
in good humor; this, of all human qualities, is the
most amiable and endearing to society.
Were we directed from Washington when to sow,
and when to reap, we should soon want bread.

The whole art of government consists in the art of
being honest. Only aim to do your duty, and man­
kind will give you credit where you fail.

The greatest service that can be rendered any coun­
try is, to add a useful plant to its culture, especially a
bread grain; next in value to bread is oil.
In little disputes with your companions, give way
rather than insist on trifles, for their love and the
approbation of others will be worth more to you than
the trifles in dispute.
Whenever you feel a warmth of temper arising,
check it at once and suppress it, recollecting it would
make you unhappy within yourself and disliked by
others.
Mr. D. S. Turner, who is in charge of all school
farm operations, reports that if the good weather con­
tinues for a few days longer all crops will have been
planted. This sounds good.
Mr. Reuben Sanders, one of our employes, has the
distinction of making a most unusual play recently
while active on the Oak Knoll golf links. He made
what is called “a hole in one,” that is he drove the
ball 180 yards right into the hole in one stroke. This
does not happen often.
Recently there were five scholarships in any branch
of the greater University of Montana offered to out­
standing members of the 4-H clubs of Blaine county,
Montana. Of the five winners two were Indian girls,
Theresa DeCelles and Cecelia Strongarm. Now, here
is an item that pleases us ever so much. This should
be an inspiration for other Indian youths who are
seeking to place themselves in some worthwhile place
or occupation.
Mr. Bent, our chief advisor for boys, will have quite
a busy summer no doubt. In the fore part of July
he will be one of the camp directors for a troop of boy
scouts at Taylor’s Grove on the north fork of the
Santiam river. From July 16th until the first week
in August he will act in the same capacity for a party
of Y. M. C. A boys and young men who will go into
camp at Ocean Side beach, near Tillamook. It looks
like Mr. Bent is going to have his hands full.
Supt. Lipps responded to a request last Sunday
evening in chapel and told an “Uncle Remus” story
as related to the second generation. There is no de­
nying the fact that we enjoy these stories as told by
our Superintendent, and wre are not alone in our en­
joyment by any means. Although they are related
primarily for our younger students, they seem to have
fully as great an appeal for our grown-ups. Mr. Lipps
was raised in the South and he possesses a splendid
background for these stories, and lives them. He en­
joys them and so do all of us. In closing his talk of the
evening he addressed a few serious remarks to our
students on their school work and their vacation peri­
ods soon to arrive. It was a fine chapel in every way.
Introductory to the Superinterdent’s talk the orchestra
played “Uncle Remus Tells a Story” by Zamecnik.
The choir sang a good number at close of the exercises.
ESCORTS
I served with General Washington in the Legisla­
ture of Virgina before the Revolution, and, during it
with Doctor Franklin in Congress. I never heard
either of them speak ten minutes at a time, nor to
any but the main point, which to decide the ques­
tion.
