Who Read School News?
Many hours of work go to make up
the School News column, and t h
Press Club and its sponsor, Mrs. Cook,
feel amply repaid for all the labor
and time expended when so many pu-
pils can hardly wait for the next ig_-
sue of the paper.
Surely then* future citixens will al
ways read newspapers ‘ when they
start almost as soon as they team to
read well. - '
A new loyalty and a new enthus
iasm for .school seems to spring uj
with each additional issue of Schoo!
News. Mr. N, S. Tlolland of Breck-
formerly superintendent of
here, reaTls the Stamford
School pews, and only a short time
ago wrote a letter commenting on the
Press Club work. .
Many parents have expressed their
appreciation of the School News .al-
so.
In a straw vote held in the Fifth*
Sixth, and Seventh Grades it was
found that almost every pupil whose
parents took one of the city papers
eagerly looked forward to every
week's paper and never missed a
single issue. Some pupils even bor-
row someone’s pa pel1 in order that
they may read the news of the school.
In the straw vote there were 148 pu-
pils who read the news every week,
never missing a single time. Ip the
Fifth Grade there are 46 who always
read School News, in the Sixth Grade
there are 57, and in the Seventh Grade
there are 47.
The Press Club and the teachers
take this means of expressing their
great appreciation to the editors of
the city papers and to their staffs
for printing the School * News each
week. Each child. in school feels as
if a certain part of the paper belongs
to him each week.

“He comes from an old and dis-
tinguished English family which mi-
grated to the United States several
years before his bivth and he himself
is an American bom citizen.
"He is a man of letters, a statesman
and educator of note, and a spoilsman.
He is a man who has had a great deal
of experience with men,
“He is a man who has toured every
country of the world and ik well in-
formed on the political, economical,
and social conditions of the people of
other countries as well as hia own.
“During the recent flood of the
Mississippi River he distinguished
himself by his splendid relief work
in Louisianna. It was he who sug-
gested to the United States Congress
that they appropriate funds for the
flood commission work.
“During the World War he rendered
invaluable service to his country 'as
being a Colonel in the United States
army. He was also a member of the
Food Bureau which, as you remember,
served the country faithfully during
the war periods.
“I have told you that he is a self-
made man, one who has risen from
the bottom of the ladder politically.
It was through his own will power
and his courage that he rose to the
high place which he now holds as
Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court.
"In Congress he distinguished him-
self by his brilliant speeches defend-
ing the 18th Amendment and the
prohibition question. At this time he
was recognized as a splendid orator.
“You have always heard that a
prophet is never without honor save
in his own town, bvt his is not so in
this case. Not only is he admired and
respected by every citizen in these
United States, but he is beloved and
honored by every man in hia own im-
mediate community.
“Friends, it fa with the greatest of
pleasure that I present for the great
and high office of the President of
the United States tha name of my
friend, Major Hoople of Nebraska,
