Citizens of Marshall have been amusing
themselves during the snow blockade by
laying out paper railroads. Besides the
NJ. & st. L. line, which is headed this
way, line from Hector to Marshall is
strongly advocated, and Mr.. j. B. Drew
has been to Minneapolis to urge the con-
struction of such line by the c., NJ. &
St. P. interest. The News says: "Our
people may be called upon to show a
preference of these two roads. 1t is USE
less to deny that many business men fear
an affiliation of the Minneapolis & St.
Louis with the Northwestern road, while
any combination of the latter line with
the Milwaukee & St. Paul is not sus-
pected."

We fear some of you do not rcalize the
evil effects of irregular attendance at
school.
AS u rule, it is almost impossible to Sc
cure earnest and satisfactory. work from
an irregular pupil. nor is this disOrganiz-
ing influence confined to the irregular
ones, but spreads from them to others,
till the whole school suffers from it, A
disinterested pupil is y discordant element
in any school. He not only retards the
work of his schoolmates. by continually
disturbing them in some way or other.
but compels the teacher to keep con-
stand watch over him, and thereby robs
the school of portion Of his (teacher's)
time, which should be wholly occupied
otherwise.
Irregular attendance is one Of the prin-
cipal causes Of frequent but unavoidable
changes in grades. which too often causes
dissatisfaction on part Of pupils and par
ents; and the fault is charged to the teach
er; when he is in no way responsible.
If you expect satisfactory progress on
the part Of your child, see that it starts

Much indignation exists in Redwood
county against Olof Erickson, who lives

bed. Farmers threaten to sit down on
him.-Nep Clm Reoiew.
