| CONSEQUENCES good and evil, bless
ed and accused, it is very clear, do
follow from all our actions here be-
low. and prolong, and propagate, and
spread themselves into the infinite, or
beyond our calculation or conception.
| SCHOOL at Star Prairie goes off as
natural as can be. As enrolled and all
in good attendance. The 'I4aw" does
| not effect the attendance of truant
students, as / can see, and no one
seems to know there is any compuls-

NJ. j. BAIRD, of River Falls, who
taught last winter in the Atwater dis
trict, Clifton, has been re-engaged for
the coming winter term. The dis
trict decided to buy new books for
free use. The above are both wise
moves. Mr.. b. has few equals.
SCHOOL district No. 2, Trimbelle,
voted months school; 2 months fall,
commencing in Sept; 3 months WIN
ter, commencing in December; 2 |
months summer. commencing in May.
Voted Ssl5 to replenish school books. |
Fall term to commence two weeks |
from next Monday. Teacher, Miss
Isabelle Rollin. II.
Now is the proper time to send for |
the educational papers you will want |
during the coming winter. We can
forward subscriptions to those which |
are noticed in this column at the low
est possible rates. The regular price |
varies from fifty cents to two dollars |
per year. Take our own State journal |
first, then one other at least.
WE cannot conceive of an act that |
is more unprofessional and discour.
teous than to offer to teach school |
for less than some other more expert |
enced teacher has been offered. If |
teaching is profession the ethics |
ought to come as near to the Golden |
Rule as the code of physicians and |
honorable tradeSmen. A doctor does
not prescribe until his predecessor in
the case has been discharged.
@. What is the second city of the |
world in point of population!
A. The authorities do not agree as |
"the second city of the world in point |
of population" They are divided be-
tween Paris and Soochow (Su-chau).
For various reasons which need not
here enumerate, L am of the belief
that the latter deserves to be ranked
next to London. A. EARTHMAN.
Humboldt, Iowa, Aug 80.
THE Reed district. Spring Lake,
held its annual meeting Aug. Is, and
voted to have six months school The
ensuing year; four months winter and
two months summer school. A tax of
$175 was voted in addition to $s75 vot-
ed at special meeting last March.
The Spring Valley district also voted
to have six months school the coming
year. Julia Akers will attend the fall
term of the River Falls Institute. B.
BLANCHE BAIRD, Stumble district,
Martel, put in a wash stand, mirror,
comb, ETC., for pupils use. Good.
She also had each sign printed card
promising to obey the rules of school.
Results good. Botanical work. Pri-
mary reading taught chiefly from the
board by word method. Primary
arithmetic had incomplete tables up
on the board to finish at leisure.
Hence, they were busy.
