The school house has been very
creditably arranged and finished in
side The work reflects great credit

1t is as well planned for school pur-
poses as any school in the county,
While we are speaking of schools, we
might say that we notice great many
boys of school age playing upon the
street, fishing or hunting during school
hours. This is a pretty poor. recon-
mend for the intelligence of their par
ents, and we sincerely hope that the
directors will take the necessary stems
to compel parents of such children to
send them to school.
Another thing that we might speak
OF is, that we notice on the part of some
directors in this county mot in Milaca)
the tendency to hire teacher in good
faith, thus necessitating her refusal to
all other schools who want her. and
when she comes to take her school is
informed that the school has been
given to some one else, and that teach
er is out of a job. Such directors ought
to go to China and learn some lessons
in etiquette, &c.
Last spring a young man by the
name OF Emmett LETTERS came in town
from Minneapolis, where he had been
learning trade. Unable to get money
enough to carry him through he came
here to earn it. His parents, who live
at Sank Centre, predicted that he
could not make a living here. The
boy now has charge of a crew of men,
working for the Company. Milaca is
good place for honest, Industrious
young men like LETTERS.
