! THE SCHOOLS.

Tho time OF the year has como
AROUND again when schools open, and
when the boys and girls give bene-
di6tion TO the streets az they go TO
aud cone from school swinging their
satchols, and filling The streets with
voices merrier than tho lark. A great
Thing is tho modern school, but the
greater thing still is the boy behind
the satchel. He is full of baseball
md marbles, he is given to roobipg
birds nests, climbing trees, tearing
his clothes, having his nose barked,
'tahd having infinite trouble making
! clear explanations to his mother why
By is what he is. But they arc great
chaps after all, and a person wants to
live in ii country where they do not
exist to understand what blank and
fool Old world this would be without
children. -.
The school is IN institution, which,
as rule, first puts it's gentle check
OH the bits Of the boys enthusiasm,
AMI turns it in another channel
which leads it up to make what was
tho crown and glory of the boy, and
the crown and glory of the man. The
aucient world did. many splendid
things; its manhood developed in
many exalted forms. All the nights
Pnd depths Of oratory were explored
aud its full power brought out; in
many of the arts there WIS grace
attained which modern men dare not
h',pe to emulate. Poetry had it's
birth and grew to full perfection;
there we're soldiers as great as tho
modern world can boaat, but there
wills nothing like our mission schools,
nal IN No other way is the superior
graz Of modern civilization any
better illustrated than in that one
thing-our schools compared with
the ancient SCHOOLS. --[Salt Lake

BUY YOUR GOODS AT HOME.

If everybody would first ascertain
whether they can get what they want
at home, before sending away for it,
or giving their orders to travelling
statesmen, many thousands of dollars
would be kept in this town each year
that are now sent away. 1t is the home
trade that builds up town. And yet
there are many people who would
rather send away for what they want
than to get it at home, under the mis-
taken idea that they can thus get it
better and cheaper. We know of an
instance where many orders for print
ing were obtained in this town by the
agent of Boston firm, from people
who never spent a dollar with the
home printers. The agent got his
printing done at The COLUMBIAN Office
and when hej delivered it, his custo-
mers were delighted with it ''because
1t came from Boston, not knowing
that they had paid one third more for.
it than it would have cost by ordering.
direct from any printer in Bloomsburg,
as they had paid our regular price, and
the agents commission besides. Most
of these people had never been inside
of our Office, and had no knowledge
whatever of our facilities, and yet they
gave their orders to a Boston agent,
because Bloomsburg printers couldn't
do such woIk.' This is but one of
many similar instances that might be
mentioned as occurring in the expert
ence of our business men. There is a
tendency to go away from home to
buy, and to give orders to strangers
for goods that town merchant could
sell for the same price or less. Every
dollar sent away that ought to stay
here, is an injury to trade. Buy your
goods at home.

Bloomsbury has reputation all
over the state as a booming town.
With its numerous enterprises it is not
very astonishing that there should be
an occasional disagreement between
some of the employers and employees.
Whatever there is Of the kind at pres
ent at the Carpet Mill is said to be
only of a temporary character, and
will no doubt be adjusted on the re
turn of Mr.. Magee from Kansas City,
where he was obliged to go on perem-

A few weeks ago young man came
to town and called upon the business
men, and endeavored to sell them a
scheme for advertising which included
set of cuts, for which he charged a
dollar apiece or more. The CoLUM-
BIAN is furnishing its advertisers with
cuts Of the same character without any
additional charge. From this should
be learned that it is unwise to buy
from a stranger before ascertaining
whether you can get the same article
from home dealer for less money.

"Mcrit wins" is an old adage. 1t
never could have been better exemph.
fed, than 1t has been in the present
growth and prosperity of the State
Normal School of Bloomsbury.
Less than two years ago the trustees
built new wing to accommodate the
increased attendance of the spring
term, but to their amazement it was
full to the roof at the opening of the
fall term. and they had to make stu
dents rooms of the dormitory chapel,
quarter the help outside, and utilize
every available space to accommodate
the increased attendance in the spring.
So widely and SO favorably known
has the school become, that inquiries
concerning it are sent from every cor
ner Of the union, and applicants for
rooms are frequently made more than
a year in advance of the time they are
wanted. The applications for cata-
logues are fair index of the populari-
ty of the school. Last year catalogues
were called for from almost thirty diff
ferent states and territories.

beyond question, among the very finest
in the state. They were designed with
three important things in view, viz:
sufficient light from the right direction,
all the black board surface that could
possibly e arranged for, and large
spacious rooms with high ceilings TO
partlcularize, we NAV say that in near
ly every class room the light enters
from the pupils left side, thus giving a
soft, easy light that does not strain
the eye.
In these rooms, there is an average
black board surface Of two hundred
and eighty square feet, thus making it
possible to accommodate class of
thirty pupils in board work. A we'll
regulated school seldom permits class
to exceed that number.
Unusual care has been exercised in
seating. Every room has been furn-
ished with the most comfortable arm
chairs in the market, each having a
writing board or table attached to the
right arm of the chair.
These things We know, are but the
minor part Of a schools duty to its
patrons, and those in charge have not
lost sight of the major element of sue
Cess in the school. Natural presenta-
tion of subject matter, and thorough
ness .characterizes above all things else
the work done in these comfortable
class-rooms. Every effort has been
put forth by the trustees to secure the
very best teaching talent available.

ANOTHER NEW BUILDING.

The increased popularity and eff
cheney Of the school has SO increased
the patronage that the trustees have
been forced to make preparations for
building again. At a recent meeting
of the board, the building committee
was instructed to secure the services
of an architect, and proceed promptly
to make plans and specifications. This
new building will probably be man.
moth wing at the north end of the
dormitory, one end of which will be
fitted up for a gymnasium. The re
mainder will be used for students
rooms.

THE. KITCHEN.

The kitchen was remodled only a
few years ago and fitted up with the
latest and best culinary appliances.
Additions to these have been made
from time to time, and it would be
hard to find, among institutions of this
kind, a kitchen that comes more nearly
being model.
Not only is it well equipped with
appliances, but it is well managed. Mr..
Louis Bonichon, the cook, is native
Frenchman, and has had over twenty
FIVE years experience in appeasing
mems appetites. He was employed in
September of the present year. What
he cannot do to tickle the gustatory
nerve, is scarcely worth attempting.
He is ably assisted by two other ex-
perienced cooks, who take great pains
in preparing the food, and in keeping
every pot and kettle in its place and
up to its proper degree of polish.
Much of the success of the culinary
department is also due to the care and
good judgment Of Mr.. w. H Housel,
