WELL DONE.

Since the completion of the last con-
tract, work has been stopped on the new
Baptist church. The building is now en-
closed and outwardly complete, and is
one of the handsomest churches in this
part of the State. The Baptist congrega-
ton is a small one, and its members are
not, as rule, over supplied with this
worlds goods, and il has been a question
of considerable anxiety with them
whether to attempt TO complete the
building this year or wait until next.
This matter has been quietly talked over
for some days, and 1t was thought best
to make an effort to complete the work.
Thus far the building has been actually
paid for, except about 81 800. The ener-
getic pastor and his congregation arrived
at the conclusion that if this amount
could be paid, the Indebtedness incurred
in completing the new building would
not be too burdensome, as it would only
require about $1,000 more. So at the
morning service Sunday the congre-
CATION was asked to pledge 81 800 to pay
off the present Indebtedness. Before
the people had departed, the liberal sum
of 81 ,552 had been secured. A meeting
washeld Mondaynight to arrange the de-
tails for the completion of the work, and
this much desired end will be accom-
plished as soon as possible. Too much
credit cannot be bestowed upon this
congregation, whose Observation-Disclosures
has secured for themselves and the city
the finest church in Southwestern Min

THE NORMAL SCHOOL.

The entrance examinations of the
Normal school occur week from mex
Monday and Tuesday, Aug. 9th anc
18th. The regular work of the term be
gins Wednesday, Aug. 10Th.
The building is in perfect order anC
never before presented so neat an APP
sembly room, the halls and many of the
recitation rooms, the general reslating 0
the blackboards, the new carpets o
preston of "brand new" building.
The greatest transformation, however
is in the grounds. The student of a yeal
ago will find it difficult to recognize il
the present nicely graded and grassy
lawns, broad, clean sidewalks and wei
paved cutters, the former location o.
the irregular mud banks and holes anC
paths that then sklrted the grounds.
The season has been unusually favor
able for the change and the transplanteG
grass is everywhere firmly rooted, greer
and luxuriant. The trees have in gen
eral made an unusual growth. The
only exception to the general success i:
the somewhat surprising failure of mos
of the young elms of the sidewalk row
The last of the series of improve
ments for the season is the bringing o.
water by a private pipe from the Third
street main. Irrigation by the rotary
and rose sprinkler is now a daily sight
and the thirsty grass is gratefully re-
sponslve.
The prospects of attendance, in mum.
Der and quality of pupils, are excellent
The upper classes will be large and it is
expected the graduating class will be
the largest in the history of the school,
aggregating about fifty.
1t is u gratifying fact that the number
of students admitted on second-grade
and high school certificates is steadily
increasing. Last year only about so OF
the 159 members of the sc" class were
admitted by examination. Over 100
entered otherwlse-mostly on second
grade certificates.
The standard of admission is uniform
for all the schools, the same examina-
ton questions (by recent action of the
board to be henceforth furnished by the
state superintendent being used at all.
The scope of the examinations was last
year broader than ever before, embrace
ing, for instance, for the first time, per-
centage in arithmetic and complex sem
fences in grammar.
The quiet advance being made all
along the line in Normal school work IN
Minnesota and the present condition of
her schools are gratifying to the friends
of the system and they are disposed to
think that the schools here are working
on higher plane than those any 9TH
er state. The far better endowed schools
of Wisconsin, for example, yet have
preparatory departments and no distinc-
lively professional courses.
