A number OF tables had been spread in

program numerous young folks passed
plates and Japenese napkins, followed
by ice cream and an endless variety of
cake and the knots OF people at the
various tables talked, laughed and par
took OF the good things in n way that
carried them far beyond the scenes Of this
wicked world. The assemblage to a per-
son seemed over flowing with mirth and
happiness and some OF the young men
even expressed themselves as possessed
with desire TO fondly caress every one
OF the pretty school ma ANS. The tables
were cleared and one OF the young lady
teachers took her Japanese napkin
about the ball obtaining autographs
thereon. The young lady was quickly
followed by others and before long every
young person in the hall had converted
n Japanese napkin into nm AUTOGRAPH
album and the frail paper affairs were
well filed. The visiting teachers will re-
tain them IA souvenirs, they say, al one
of the most pleasantly spent evenings OF
their lives. Mr.. HOLSTERS paper, read
just previous to lunch, kept the audience
in a continual uproar and brought out
round after round OF deafening applause.

HOW THEY LOOK ATT
The following from the Norway School
News, for April. is OF interest i'm this con-
nection: "Thegrowth Of this association
since il held it's first meeting i'm Norway
in SO, il simply wonderful, and the last
meeting has placed il where il will be
very difficult for future gatherings to
excel We have been casting i'm our
mind for the solution Of the great sue
cess 81 this last meeting, and we state
our belief 10 tie, first, that ON Friday
morning the first day Of meeting, nearly
fifty bright cheerful. intelligent, enthusi-
astic. good-looking school teachers
showed themselves to he in attendance
second, that the program as published
by the program committee was carried
out to the letter, every subject ably set
forth by papers and most willingly, en-
Enthusiastically and advantageously dis
cussed, and lastly the entertainment so
magnifcently by the people OF Crystal
Falls And this last we consider far
from being the least for the good will
shown in the hospitality rendered nm
the encouragement, and cheering words
given by the school board and citizens in
the speeches ut the reception in honor OF
the teachers al the association, had n
sustaining effect and one much TO be re-
membered. Rarely does teacher re-
ceive too much encouragement, and
frequently coming i'm contact with thirty
or forty families, hearing only the petty
grievances OF this and that, early FOR the
want OF that encouragement which peo-
pie feel, but so often fail to express"
