TEACHERS IN COUNCIL.
Papers Read and n Resolution Dis.
CUssed and Passed.

Cussed and Passed.
The high school council convened
promptly at 9:9O yesterday, the attendance
being larger than on the opening day. A
paper on "Sclence Teaching in High
Schools" was read by A. f. Bechloldt of
Mankato. Supt. Lord of st. Peter dis
cussed in short paper the subject. ''Lit-
erature in High Schools" He condemned
the use of manuals and books about litera-
ture, and thought the best way to
study was to read the litera-
ture itself. President Northrup of the state
university thought much could be learned
from careful examination of some play of
Shakespeare OF canto of Spencer in the
class room. He agreed with the paper and
thought the right idea was to awaken lit
erary taste. A resolution was introduced
that the national government should come
promptly and generously to the support of
the states and Individual philanthropy that
are earnestly trying to educate the colored
people and should make such provision
by national aid for the education
of the illiterate of the nation.
State Superintendent Kiehle who intro
duced the resolutions spoke in favor of
them as did also Prof. Phelps. After some
discussion they were laid on the table to be
discussed later.
Prof. Wilson of Saltwater addressed the
council Oh the subject of manual training
in high schools. He advocated this train
ing generally and gave an interesting ac-
count of the industrial department of his
school.
The resolutions offered by Supt. Kiehle
were then taken from the table and, after
lengthy discussion, adopted.
The exercises closed with the reading of
paper by Prof. Felwen of the state uni
versity on the study of political economy.

Forbidden FRUIT!

Disobedient boy has learned
alesson, though a severe one.
That boy will not eat un-
ripe fruit for some time; he
has found by experience that
it is not healthy. Same way
when a man buys a suit OF
clothes; unless he buys at
some old reliable house he
learns a severe lesson. He
finds the wool" is cotton and
that in fact the suit is not
healthy. Next time the man
needs a suit he buys it at The
Boston, gets what he pays
for and is satisfied, and con-
tinues to be one of The Bos-
toms customers forever. The
Boston sells only the Very
Best Quality of Fine Tailor
Made Clothing, Hats and
