the confidence and good will OF his
patrons if he succeeds with his work.
Having this as sort of stock he can
contriye various ways by which books
are certain to appear. First, create
desire for books and all will help
forward the good work. When
book has been procured the teacher
should be sure that his pupils under
stand It's value, and how to care for
and use it advantageously. We I'M
dortake TO claim positive advantage
in TIE work from the day pupils take
the first good book in their hands,
feeling that it is their own.
AS soon as the first good results are
seen, we shall find other encourage
ment in the paternai interest. All
this goes with the idea of books for
the school, but, fellow teachers, what
about books for oulselYesl Those be.
longing to the school are also within
our reach, but we can have others.
We ought to feel it our duty. Some we
can obtain at very trfling cost, but
by one means or another let us have
Books. Professional and referencial
and own them. There is, and has
been considerable question in the
minds of some teachers as to what is
meant by professional books as dis
tinguished from works of reference,
but the matter has been discussed
frequently at associations and surely
is not hard to understand. When we
get books. take good care of them.
When any books are procured for the
school, have some one whose especial
business it shall be to look after them.
Make this matter lesson in economy
and teach it earnestly. 1t will be
ever useful, and now, lest tire your
patience, | will close, hoping that
some one will throw in a suggestion
soon to help on the cause.

Large numbers of our people went
to Red Wing to the circus, and we
have heard the most of them sum it
up about after this styl4: Pageantry
very fine, animals good, but the circus
would hardly average as medium; and
that the whole concern was a net
work of tricks and traps, and devices
to draw every possible cent from the
crowd, such as four ticket wagons
each of different prices, &C., and at
tached to the gang seems to q regular
set of pick pockets. C. A. Hawn had
his pocket picked of a pocket-book
containing $50 cash and some notes,
&c. Among other steps taken for its
recovery he applied to Mr.. forepaugh,
who readily acknowledged that he
thought it was done by one of his
men and promised to arrest him, but
nothing has b.en heard from him as
yet.
Our Sabbath School celebration on

adults and very interesting exercises
by the children. The attendance was
good. Ono Sunday School came with
four-horse teams, wagons trimmed
and banners flying. The school from
Dist. No. !, Mrs. Briggs, teacher, car
ried off the honors for perfectness of
drill and clearness of enunciation,
and did credit to themselves and their
teacher. The part they contributed
towards the days entertainment was
good. The following ministers were
present; Rev. Holt, Rev. J0slyn, Rev.
Wentz, Rev. Arndt and Rev. |. p.
Whip. Thanks are due especially to
Rev. Wentz, of Eau Gala, and Rev.
Holt. of Maiden Rock, for assistance
in speaking. Also to Miss Hattie
Laurent, organist. and to Mr.. and Mrs.
Lowater for answering toaSts, and to
many others who did all they could to
