River Falls Normal.

We copy the following from the
School Bulletin for Jan. 1884, publish
ed at Osceola Mills, Wis, and edited
by Ii. b. Dyke. county superintendent:
eve are glad that some of our
teachers recognize the advantages to
be gained from professional training,
and are turning their attention to the
River Falls Normal School. 1t is
evident, to the most casual observer,
that this school is exerting potent
influence upon our common schools,
in increasing the measure of efficiency
of our teachers. President Parker
and Prof. Thayer and the corps of in
structors at River Falls are working
faithfully to this end, and it must be
a source of qualification to them as it
is to the friends of our schools, that
so much has been accomplished in this
direction as the result of their efforts.
We desire to add this testimony, that
Of two hundred and thirty-two differ
ent persons who have attended teach
ers' examinations in this county, in
the past four years, other things be-
ing equal, those who have received
normal instruction, have shown a
more critical scholarship. and as a
rule have practically demonstrated in
the school-Toon the element of good
teaching ability, and the wisdom Of
maintaining institutions for profess
Sional training"

April Fool.

Tuesday was the day known as ''All
Fools Day" How many of US, as we
get some good joke off on some one,
stop to think of the origin of such a
custom.
The tradition among the Jews is
that the custom of making fools on
the first day of April arose from the
patriarch Noah having sent out the
dove on the first day of their month
corresponding with our April before
she could see any trace of dry land.
Her errand was such as the joker OF
modern times delights in sending his
victim on. It's origin is also referred
to the miracle plays-the sending OF
the savior from Annes to Coiaphas
and from PLATE to Herod.
Another theory is the changing OF
New Years day to the first of Janu
airy leaving the first of April but q
burlesque of its past festivities. s@Re'
Gently it has been attempted to con
meet its origin with Hindoo festival
called the ''festival of Hull which is
observed March 3lst. In Scotland the
phrase used when joke takes effect
is "hunt gawk, "Gawk" meaning
fool. In France the dupe of the day &
pranks is called "April fish,. There
is no reference made to the custom il
early literature so it is supposed to be
of quite recent origin. England ant
Germany seem to have derived the
fashion from France.
