The Training school.


Tuesday morning we summoned
up sufficient courage, and with the
sustaining presence of a friend, at
tended the morning session of the
Training School now being held at
the high school building. You think
it requires no little bravery to sit
under the fire of two hundred eyes,
beaming and sparkling with an en-
thusiasm at once critical and conf
dent of its knowledge and wisdom?
Go try it--try it and sec! We found
nearly a hundred young lady teach
ers present, and but two or three
conference.-the very flower of three
counties, the elite, morally and in
tellectually, of this portion of our
state.
The subject of the morning lesson
was psychology and its kindred
branches. The faculties of the mind
were so held up to our view, that
one could almost SEQ their hands and
feet and wings. How plain and easy it
all seemed, as demonstrated by these
skillful and graceful instructors who
have charge of the institute. Per-
ception, reflection and assimilation,
which might be termed the physi-
ology of psychology, were made as
easy as A, B, G, and which are, in
fact, the al phabet of our knowledge.
We hope all parents who can con-
veniently do SO, will visit this school
occasionally and see what advantage
their children are enjoying, in laying
the foundation of their education.
Let the teachers assembled listen
we'll to their instructors, for they
embrace in their methods, facts and
spirit communicated, the best that is
known, and they stand to-day in the
front ranks of the educators Of the
world. We lately came across the
following, so much to the point:
"There is no science of education
There are many theories, and there is an
art of education Every true teacher is and
must be an artist, working on the most
plastic of materials, and changing her
methods as the state of the material gives
notice to her practiced mental eye that
change is needed. 1t is this fact which
makes experience of SO much value in the
lem of normal schools so difficult. 1t is
only the quickened insight Of a mind
originally fit for the work which can deter
mine the mental state to be dealt with at
the moment, and can then select, out of all
the means at command, the very question
or the very explanation that will enable the
child's mind to take hold of the truth to be
conveyed.
The maker of Damascus blades cannot
tell you how he knows that the steel has
had exactly the required amount of heat
He sees the color and he knows; that is al

Death of Iudga Bragg,

This community was startled by
the news of the sudden death of
Hezekiah Bragg, of Darnen, at B
O'Clock, on Sunday morning last, OF
heart failure.
Mr.. Bragg was severe sufferer
from asthma for many years, but was
able to be around and attend to bust
ness until Saturday last when he felt
worse than usual. The doctor was
sent for that day, but owing to other
engagements, could not got out to
his house until II o'clock at night,
when he discovered his dangerous
condition. His hfe's work was ended
in about three hours from that time.
The deceased first saw the light 81
years ago in the state of New York.
He emigrated to Minnesota in 1859
when he settled in Goodhue county.
He came from there to Stevens
county in 1876 and took a homestead
which he occupied until death de-
livered him from his sufferings. He
took a prominent part in politics OF
the county, and served as Probate
Judge for several years. He was
ALWAYS an active democrat until re-
cent years when he cast his lot with
the alliance party.
His nearest neighbors say he was
an exceptionally good neighbor. He
was respected by all who knew him
and his loss is felt through the en-
tire-county. He leaves widow and
eleven children; 5 sons and 6 daugh-
tors; the youngest boy of II years
He has life policy in the Masonic
Relief Association for $4,000.
The Episcopal minister Of Apple
ton, performed the beautiful funera
service of that church. in the grove
which Mr.. Bragg planted by his
homestead, and at the cemetery. Tbs
remains were followed to their last
resting place on the morning of July
II, 1892. The Sun joins the many
friends in sympathy for the boreft.

On Thursday last July 9TH the birth
day of Nils Darrow was celebrated at
his home IN the town of Scott. From
rs to 100 people were there through
the day and evening. The day was
spent in feasting and the night in
dancing, and of course it was all a
surprise to Nils. Among the presents
received were a pair of slippers and
moustache cup and saucer from the
boys, and a box of fine cigars from
Mr.. Fl. TT. Wells.

The ReCe ptIOn.

Seldom have we witnessed a more
enjoyable affair than the reception
rendered to Miss Victoria Cumberland
on Friday evening last, on the eve Of
Ter departure from Morris, after a
most pleasant residence Of five years !;
during which time she has endeared
herself to all with whom she came in
contact. The reception was held at
the residence of the Baldwin family,
and although the rain commenced
about 7 o'clock, and kept it up faith
fully through. the evening, lettering
many from coming, yet about thirty
of her friends, whose attachment was
too warm to be cooled by the elements,
turned out and made the evening one
to be long remembered by the par
Elephants, by the 'feast Of reason and
the flow of SOUP in which the hours
were passed.
Many souvenirs were given the
young lady to keep fresh in her
memory the scenes of the past. Rev.
G. A. Cressy made the presentation
speech in his own unimitable style.
Among the mementoes we noted the
following:
A morocco pocket-book, John
Crandall; plush cabinet case, Miss
Fannie Crandall, solid silver orange
spoon, Mrs. Baldwin and Mrs. Nelson ;
by the friends of the NJ. E. church,
silver card tray, satin finish, gold
lined, bourbon dish and tongs, and
solid gold thimble and S..
The whole affair was complete
surprise to Miss Cumberland until
the last moment. It is needless to
say that the plot WAS laid and exc
cuted by that arch conspirator, Mrs.
Pearce, whose chief enjoyment is in
making people surprisingly happy,
assisted by her faithful lieutenant,
Fred Smith. ~
Miss G. left on Saturday morning
for St. Cloud for a few days visit,
after which she will go to her home
in MantorviIle, Dodge county, bear
ing with her the best wishes of a
host of admiring friends, of whom

The Australian system of holding
elections and voting for candidates
for Office is certainly good for the
Intelligent class of voters, but how it
will work with the thousands who can
neither read nor write, and speak little
or no English, remains to be seen by
the practical test that is coming. It
behooves every voter to inform him
self as to the different candidates and
know who he wants to cast his ballot
for. before going to the polls. Those
who cannot read and write should go
to some trustworthy friend and learn
who and what the different candidates
are, and not wait until voting day to
be button-holed and bored to death
by the political strikers.-Ex
