PUPILS AT HUMAN
WIN SILVER MEDALS
The Only S1hmi1 In County to EntT
The Kssay Contest Hurinjf the
Fourth Liberty Lc.!.
The only school in Morrow county
to take up the writing of essays in
the Essay Contest for the Fourth
Liberty Loan, was at Hardman. The
presentation of silver medals, in
which two pupils of that school were
honored, took place there last week.
The successful contestants were Ilo
Merrill, aged 11, of the eighth
grade, and Marion Hayden, 14, of
the High- School. These two pupils
presented essays of splendid merit,
and Mrs. Shurte is praising them
both very highly for their excellent
work. In order to be present for
the meeting and receive his medal
Marion rode over a distance of 35
miies on horseback and through the
storm from Spray. Miss Merrill is
the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. J.
Merrill, of Hardman, and Mr. Hayden
is t..e sdu oi ...i. and Mrs. George
H. Hayden of near Spray.
"The medals wore not given so
much for their intrinsic value," Mrs.
Shurte states, "as for the patriotic
honor bestowed upon them. Hardman
was the only school in the county
who took part in tne Essay Contest
for the Fourth Liberty Loan. Some
schools were not in session at 11k
time. Another chance will be given
in April f6r the Fifth Liberty Loa:i.
We hope every school will participate
in this ono. Ten silver medals wili
be awarded to the best essays in
each county, and ten gold medals to
the ofcsi ten in the state."
The meeting at Hardman on the
20th was attended by Mrs. Shurte,
county school superintendent, Miis
i ttfcleu J. Cowgill, of 0. A. C, Miss
. bdith Thorley and F. R. Brown of
i this city. Concerning their part in
the meeting, we have the following
jfium one of our good friends out
there:
' Hardman, Oregon, Feb. 22, 191.
Our little village was tendered
quite an interesting treat Thursday,
'Feb. 20, 1919, through the efficient
'arrangement of our County School
' Superintendent, who is never hind
ered by rain, mud or snow. Which
fact is firmly established by her
safely landing her forces here on the
above date.
The entertainers' consisted of Mrs.
Lena Snell Shurte, County School
Superintendent F. R. Brown, County
Agent, Miss Helen J. Cowgill, Asst,
State Club Leader from the Oregon
Agricultural College and Miss Edith
Thorley. Superintendent of the Art
Division in the Morrow County Fair.
If you peruse the personnel of this
troupe you will see that our In
struction and entertainment was to
have a large scope.
The ball was set rolling by Mrs.
Zera Hopkins rendering a solo, ac
companied by Miss Thorley. Alter
this Mrs. Srurte came forward and
proceeded to outline her work. She
was at her best, and her clear and
enthusiastic explanation drove every

Ft. J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., Winston-Salem, N. C
point in such a forcible man
ner that you could almost see
those pupils resolve on a higher plane
of education. The benefits of the
club work was touched, the ready
response to war work, as well as tha
County Fair was reckoned. These
reports show substantial advance
ment. Every request receiving a
prompt response.
Miss Daisy Barlow varied the
program with a solo, accompanied
by Mrs. Hopkins.
Mr. Brown was the next speaker.
He launched out on the club, work,
insisting that all members should
persevere and make their final report
whether a success or a failure. He
proved that a failure might be of
more benefit than success by telling
of a boy who worked diligently on;
his garden until It was well started
and very promising. At this junc
ture a hail storm demolished every-!
thing but the weeds; Did he stop?
No, ho worked that garden .unceas
ingly and with partial success as he
obtained some vegetables. The
speaker claimed the preparation for
the hard knocks of life, from this
auverse experience greater than a
garden grown without special effort.
The next topic was the COUNTY
FAIR. The plan and outline was so
enticeingly given that the entire
audience seemed to see itself enroute
for the occasion with a large prize
winning exhibit. He illustrated the
advantage of cooperation, both local
and national, thoroughly exhausting
the subject.
The struggle with inclement
weather seemed to nerVe Miss
Thorley, for the solo she rendered
was of an excellence rarely exper
ienced by the inhabitants of our in
land village.
Miss Cowgill then dealt with the
obstacles, pleasures, and rewards of
the different lines of club work. She
showed that Uncle Sam was receiving
$22 return for every 17 cents spent in
this kind of instruction. Ere her
conclusion we were seized with a
desire to erase the word "Assistant"
from her title for she is certainly a
leader.
Imagine our surprise when Mis'.
Shurte announced that Mr. Brown
would present medals to the win
ners in the essay contest on the
Fourth Liberty Loan. He called Ilo
Merrill, of the eighth grade and
Marion Hayden of the Freshman
class. This he . tackled like a
veteran, showing how the co-opera-lion
of our Inhabitants had furnished
the pep needed to conquor the Hun,
thereby insuring democracy to the
world.
In our after thought we realized
that it was no wonder that our
schools turned out graduates six
years younger than in our day; that
the same soil that brought $250 per
quarter section in our youth was now
nearing the two score mark; that
Uncle Sam was realizing $22 on a
17 cent investment. It is the mater
ial result from the Herculean efforts
of this and similar bodies.
From another correspondent we
have the following account of the
visit of these people to that little
city:
Thursday, February 20, Hardman
was given a very pleasant and prot
itable program, devoted to the in
terests of club work. The meeting
was under the able "leadership of
our County Superintendent of
Schools, Mrs. Shurte, who also gave
a most forceful appeal for the Bun'er
Ing'people of Armenia.
Mr. Brown, of Heppner, outlined
for the children and parents, the
plans for next year's fair, including
an explanation of the District Booth
plan. He also gave many interesting
and encouraging accounts of the in
dividual work of club children of last
year.
Miss Cowgill, Asst. State Club
Leader of Boys' and Girls' club
work, convinced, us that club work
was indeed profitable from a finan
cial point of view. The cost of
financing the proposition being ex
ceedingly small in comparison with
the 'financial returns. Next year the
club work is to be better organized,
as the members in a given locality
will confine their efforts to one par
ticular line, thus assuring one boost
er calf, pig or corn club, in place of
three half-hearted club3, each with a
different aim. Efficient leadership
will be much easier obtained by this
new plan.
At the close of the program, the
silver medals for the Morrow County
Fourth Liberty Loan Essay -Contest,
"My Liberty Bond and I," were
presented by Mr. Brown to Marlon
Hayden, grade nine, and Miss Ilo
Merrill, grade eight, both of Hard
mau. Hardman is especially grate
ful to these young people for their
efforts, and they may reel justly
proud of their efforts.1
Music for the atternoon was lur
nished by Mrs. Zara. Hopkins and
Miss Daisy liarlow of liardinan and
Miss Edith Thorley or Heppner, ,io
whrun much credit is given for
having made the afternoon enjoyable.
The people of Hardman wish to
express their thanks to Mrs. Shurte
and her associates for having given
us so pleasant and so instructive an
afternoon.
