PARENT-TEACHERS ASSOCIATION
The first on the program was a piano solo by Miss Helen Treat of the 12th grade and was rendered in a very pleasing manner being warmly applauded by the audience. A reading by Mrs. R. Paul, "The Indians Revenge." Prof. J. B. Horner, of the Oregon Agricultural College of Corvallis gave a lecture. He started out on the things necessary for good public schools and the advantages that can be attained through the co-operation of parents and teachers. He spoke highly of the management of our school, diligence of the teachers and the progress the students are making. After the address to the school he gave steroptican views and a lecture of his travels in Egypt. The first was of the missionary work done there; some of the missionaries he met were from this State. He gave an interesting account of the people, their mode of living and the reformation wrought through the work of missions. The succeeding views were those of the Pyramids and Sphinx of Egypt. The description he gave of these world famed works of the Ancients was intensely interesting and will add much to the storehouse of knowledge of the grownups as well as the student.

Willie - An optimist is a pessimist who see the bright side of things in spite of himself. Our slogan for 1915-16 is "One hundred pupils in the High School." Let every body get busy and boost and the rest will be easy. Mr. Olle Elle, professor in manual training has finished his work for this year and has taken up other lines of work.

Almost fourty high school pupils attended the play, "Blundering Billey," given by the Airlie high school at that place, Friday night, May 7.  THE FIFTH DAY OR EPOCH
The conflict between Evolution and the Bible has been sharp. Nevertheless, unnecessary friction has been generated. Only in respect to man does the Bible declare a special, direct creation of God. The statements of Genesis in respect to the lower creatures rather favor something along the lines of specialized Evolution. God said, "Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the Earth." (Genesis 1:20, 21) This is exactly in harmony with our scientific findings that the beginning of life came from the waters, and later extended to the birds, and later to land animals. The Darwinian theory has disappointed those who swallowed it without a sufficiency of demonstration as to its truth. Recent demostrations show that every mixture of species and kind, even where partly successful, means a reversion to the original standards within the third or fourth generation in plants, flowers, fruits and in animals. The correct thought would seem to be that under Devine supervision various orders of creation were brought to a state of development and a fixity of species, not to be turned aside nor thereafter altered. Not one suggestion is offered respecting human evolution from a lower creature, but quite the contrary. The Bible furnishes merely basts for faith, "that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped" (2 Timothy 3:17)  |
