Every school district in the rural
sections should begin to take steps to
organize for some profitable source of
amusement for both old and young
during the winter. The nucleus
should always be a library. The
school itself should have a library,
and this should be largely added to
by the people. A little effort in this
direction would be surprisingly suc-
cessfui. There should be one or two
meetings at the school house each
week for social intercourse and such
exercises as will keep alive the gen.
eral interest and prove of advantage
to all cOncerned.-State journal.

About the first of August last Prof.
Geo. B. Hardell, formerly of Sheldon,
Iowa, commenced building q skating
rink. The rink was formally opened
last evening. About Z /: 30 o'clock the
band appeared in front of the rink
and after playing several fine selec-
tions were conducted by the Professor
to the orchestra, where they furnished
some very lively music until a late
hour. There were about 500 of the
citizens present and 200 or 800 from
other towns at the opening. The
rink is 4OxlO0 feet, with atwenty-two
foot ceiling. The floor which is prob
ably the best in the state, is double,
having q surface of hard maple made
of two inch lumber. The floor after
having been laid, was plsned perfectly
smooth, and is indeed q model of per-
fection. The building is lighted by
four double gasoline chandeliers, hav-
ing also twenty-one double windows.
The cost of the rink was about s., 600.
The proprietor has 200 pairs of skates
varying from one to eight wheels.
This is certainly great benefit to the
city and should be encouraged by our
citizens as it will have strong ten
dency to draw the young people away
from the saloons where we fear they
are too apt to spend their evenings.
Prof. Hsrdell has spared neither pains
nor money to make the rink COM
plete, and his energy will undoubted-
ly receive the reward il so much
merits.
